Recycle Concrete Aggregate

This research focuses on the performance of composite sand cement brick containing recycle concrete aggregate and waste polyethylene terephthalate. This study aims to determine the mechanical properties such as compressive strength and water absorption of composite brick containing recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) waste. The bricks specimens were prepared by using 100% natural sand, they were then replaced by RCA at 25%, 50% and 75% with proportions of PET consists of 0.5%, 1.0% and 1.5% by weight of natural sand. Based on the results of compressive strength, only RCA 25% with 0.5% PET achieve lower strength than normal bricks while others showed a high strength. However, all design mix reaches strength more than 7N/mm2 as expected. Besides that, the most favorable mix design that achieves high compressive strength is 75% of RCA with 0.5% PET.

Clay Bricks

Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and crushed clay bricks (CCB) have been increasingly researched and used in past two decades. However, studies focusing on the properties of dry-mortar with RCA and CCB are very limited. In this research, results from physical and mechanical properties of recycled mortar with fine recycled aggregate (FRA), fine recycled powder (FRP) and crushed clay brick (CCB) were secured. It is shown that sinking degree of FRA mortar can be adjusted in the range of 70-90mm and their water-maintainability is superior to natural sand mortar. However, compressive strength of FRA mortar at various ages decrease, compared to natural sand mortar under the condition of same mixed proportion. Compressive strength of FRA mortar is above 5.0MPa with mass ratio of aggregate to cement lower than 6.0.Workability of FRP and CCB mortar is similar to fly ash mortar and their apparent densities are under the 2.0g/cm3. Compressive strength of FRP and CCB mortar is near to 8.5 MPa at 28 days of age.

Crushed Limestone

This research aimed to use of bagasse ash as a cement replacement in high-strength recycled aggregate concrete (HS-RAC). Crushed limestone was replaced with 100% recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and the ground bagasse ash (GBA) was used to partially replace ordinary Portland cement (OPC) at 20, 35 and 50%wt of binder to cast HS-RAC. The results indicated that the replacing of crushed limestone with RCA had a negative impact on the properties of the concrete. Increasing the amount of GBA in HS-RAC resulted in a decrease in density and an increase in the volume of permeable pore space. The concrete mixtures prepared with 20%wt GBA replacement of OPC promoted greater the compressive strength than the conventional concrete (CT concrete) at 90 days or more. HS-RAC with GBA (up to 50%) was more durable in terms of chloride ion penetration resistance, although it had lower compressive strength than the CT concrete.

Curing Conditions

This study also investigates the effectiveness of multiple surface modification of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) with respect to mechanical properties of the resultant recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) when exposed to various curing conditions, namely, normal water (Nw) and seawater (Sw). The properties included compressive and flexural strength and impact resistance. Findings show that effect inclusion of the treated coarse RCA is significant in enhancing the mechanical properties of RAC. The exposure to Sw appears to affect the degradation of the compressive strength of RAC remarkably in a marine environment. In this case, however, using of treated RCA is found beneficial in decreasing the deterioration in the compressive strength of RAC.

This paper reports the experimental works performed to improve the properties of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) by using different acid molarities at low concentration as agent for surface treatment. The effects of using RCA after treatment on the improvement in the strength of concrete were evaluated and compared. The findings reveal that this treatment can enhance the physical and mechanical properties of RCA. Moreover, treated RCA particles can significantly promote surface contact between the new cement paste and the aggregate, thereby improving the strength of concrete.

Concrete Mixtures

The preparation of concrete mixtures can be tailored to provide wide range of mechanical and durability properties as well as to meet the design specifications of the structure. This paper discusses the potential use of recycled concrete aggregate in the production of high strength concrete. The effect of other processing parameters such as aggregate replacement ratio, type of admixture and slump height on the compressive strength and water absorption rate of different concrete mixes were investigated. The fabrication of high strength concrete was done by machine-mixing of the aggregates, cement and admixture in accordance with ASTM C192, utilizing the Taguchi design to derive the concrete mixtures. Using the 10% recycled fine aggregate with Mira P99 admixture and slump height of 4-6 inches showed an optimum condition and yielded a predicted maximum compressive strength at around 8400 psi. The failure mode of the concrete after compression test was generally shear fracture type. For the water absorption rate, only the admixture had a significant effect. Surface morphology of the fractured concrete surface revealed that utilizing recycled concrete aggregate resulted to a porous surface morphology compared to the natural aggregate.

Mechanical And Physical Properties

This research aimed to investigate the mechanical and physical properties of Roller Compacted Concrete (RCC) used with Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) as a replacement for natural coarse aggregate. The maximum dry density method was adopted to prepare RCC mixtures with 200 kg/m³ of cement content and coarse natural aggregates in the concrete mixture. Four RCC mixtures were produced from different RCA incorporation ratios (0%, 5%, 15%, and 30%). The compaction test, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, flexural tensile strength, and modulus of elasticity, porosity, density, and water absorption tests were performed to analyze the mechanical and physical properties of the mixtures. One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) was used to identify the influences of RCA on RCC’s mechanical properties. As RCA increased in mixtures, some mechanical properties were observed to decrease, such as modulus of elasticity, but the same was not observed in the splitting tensile strength. All RCCs displayed compressive strength greater than 15.0 MPa at 28 days, splitting tensile strength above 1.9 MPa, flexural tensile strength above 2.9 MPa, and modulus of elasticity above 19.0 GPa. According to Brazilian standards, the RCA added to RCC could be used for base layers.

This paper reports an evaluation of the properties of medium-quality concrete incorporating recycled coarse aggregate (RCA). Concrete specimens were prepared with various percentages of the RCA (25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%). The workability, mechanical properties, and durability in terms of abrasion of cured concrete were examined at different ages. The results reveal insignificant differences between the recycled concrete (RC) and reference concrete in terms of the mechanical and durability-related measurements. Meanwhile, the workability of the RC reduced vastly since the replacement of the RCA reached 75% and 100%. The ultrasound pulse velocity (UPV) results greatly depend on the porosity of concrete and the RC exhibited higher porosity than that of the reference concrete, particularly at the transition zone between the RCA and the new paste. Therefore, the sound transmission in the RC required longer times than that in the reference concrete. Moreover, a predictive equation relating the compressive strength to the UPV was developed.
