And Performance

This study is taken up to utilise the recycled coarse aggregate and recycled fine aggregate as replacement of natural aggregate in concrete mix. It is required to find the percentage of recycled coarse aggragate and recycled fine aggregate, as the strength of concrete can not be achieved by using higher percentaged. The purpose of study is to compare between recycled coarse aggregate and recycled fine aggregate with natural coarse aggregate and sand in terms of specific gravity, water absorption, particle size distribution. Further, this stydy will also consider the difference between the performance of Recycled Aggregate Concrete for different percentages of recycled coarse aggregate and recycled fine aggregate i.e for 0%, 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35% replacement. The present study is an experimental investigation on the behaviour of recycled aggregate concrete (coarse& fine aggregates) with respect to the strength and performance.

The properties of recycled coarsee aggregates from repeatedly recycling waste concrete were determined. In this study, five series of concrete mixtures using coarse and fine natural aggregates were prepared, which have the same objective slump value from 35mm to 50mm and different compressive strengths ranging from 25MPa to 60 MPa. These five concretes were crushed, sieved, washed with water, hot treatmented at 300°C before they were used as recycled aggregates. After that, recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) was produced with an objectively compressive strength of 30MPa, in which the recycled coarse aggregate was used as 30%, 70% and 90% replacements of natural coarse aggregate and recycled fine aggregate as 10%, 20%, and 30% replacements of natural fine aggregate. After that, these recycled concretes were used as second recycled aggregates to produce RAC with the same objectively compressive strength of 30MPa. The physical properties of coarse aggregates including apparent density, water absorption, attached mortar content and crushing value were tested and their mineral characteristics were analyzed. The results showed that the quality of recycled coarse aggregates from twicely recycling waste concrete reached the requirements from structural concrete.

Dynamic Modulus Of Elasticity

Resistance to sulfate degradation is an important index used to measure concrete’s durability. In this study, recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) with a 0%, 30%, and 50% recycled coarse aggregate substitution rate and a 0% and 15% recycled fine aggregate replacement rate was used as the research object, and its degradation resistance was evaluated by the mass loss rate and the relative dynamic modulus of elasticity. The degradation products were studied and analyzed with SEM scanning electron microscopy and XRD phase analysis. The relative dynamic modulus of elasticity was selected as the degradation index, the RAC concrete’s degradation resistance was modeled by Wiener, and the reliability curve was obtained. The results showed that expansion products, such as gypsum and Ettringite, were produced in RAC concrete in a dry-wet sulfate cycling environment, and such defects as pores and voids were filled in the initial stage. The stress the expansion products exerted in the later stage caused the concrete to crack and peel, which demonstrated that the fluctuation law of mass and the dynamic elastic modulus increased first and then decreased. The recycled coarse aggregate substitution ratio’s effect on RAC concrete is higher than that of recycled fine aggregate. The reliability curve established by the Wiener model can reflect the reliability of RAC concrete under different cycles well and can obtain RAC concrete’s sulfate degradation resistance life with different aggregate substitution rates.

Concrete Mix

Recycled aggregates (RA) are obtained from construction and demolished waste, laboratory crushed concrete and concrete waste at RMC plants. The concrete made from recycled aggregate is known as recycled aggregate concrete. The use of recycled aggregate is very beneficial to the environment in civil works. Its usage also helps in financial saving as the cost of transportation and production energy cost of natural coarse aggregate (NCA) is reduced. In India, the recycled aggregate application in lower grade concrete work is observed. However, the effect of recycled aggregate on the strength and durability of concrete restricts its use in higher-grade work. This paper presents a series of tests carried out on recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) and recycled coarse aggregate concrete (RCAC) and test results are compared with the NCA and parent concrete made from NCA. Tests were carried out as per IS code and concrete was prepared using a two-stage mixing approach in the concrete mix design. M30 concrete mix of four RCAC samples was tested at 28 days of curing and in comparison with parent concrete, it is found that on an average compressive strength is decreased by 12.89% at 28 days curing. Adhered mortar increases the porosity of the recycled aggregate and forms a weak zone between aggregate surface and mortar. In addition, test results showed the defects in recycled aggregate and helped to identify the area where concentration is necessary to improve the quality of recycled aggregate using six sigma DMAIC methodology. Total of 12 defects were found in the process and raw material. Statistical analysis was used to evaluate the performance of all the mix made with RCA.

The influence of recycled aggregates on the frost resistance of concrete was studied by rapid freezing-thawing test. Results showed that there was an important effect of aggregate gradation on frost resistance of recycled coarse aggregate concrete. Frost resistance of recycled fine aggregate concrete was deteriorated with increasing the content of recycled fine aggregate, and recycled fine aggregate had a greater influence on the frost resistance of recycled aggregate concrete than recycled coarse aggregate when adding both together. Test showed that the mass loss rate and the relative dynamic elastic modulus loss are not consistent as evaluation indexes of the frost resistance for recycled concrete, and whether the mass loss rate is suitable as an indicator of frost resistance durability needs to be further studied.

Strength And Durability

The properties of recycled coarse aggregate and the slump, the physical and mechanical properties and durability of recycled aggregate concrete were studied through tests. The results indicate that the slump, compressive strength and durability of concrete with recycled aggregate are lower than that of concrete with natural aggregate when recycled coarse aggregate fully absorbs water. However, the slump can be similar to that of concrete with natural aggregate. The properties of recycled aggregate concrete can be improved by strengthening the recycled coarse aggregate, and it is also found that the recycled coarse aggregate strengthened by grinding is superior to that soaked by chemical solution.

The complete stress-strain curves of recycled aggregate concrete with different recycled coarse aggregate replacement percentages were tested and investigated. An analysis was made of the influence of varying recycled coarse aggregate contents on the complete stress-strain curve, peak stress, peak strain and elastic modulus etc. The elastic modulus of RC is lower than natural concrete (NC), and with the recycled coarse aggregate contents increase, it reduces. While with the increase of water-cement ratio (W/C), recycled concrete compressive strength and elastic modulus improve significantly. In addition, put forward a new equation on the relationship between Ec and fcu of the RC.

Since high quality natural aggregates are becoming scarce, it is important that industrial recycled products and by-products are used as aggregates for concrete. In Japan, the use of recycled aggregate (RG) is encouraged. Since, strength and durability of recycled aggregate concrete is lower than that of normal aggregate concrete, the use of recycled aggregate has not been significant. In order to improve physical properties of concrete using recycled coarse aggregate, blast furnace slag sand has been proposed. Recently, blast furnace slag sand is expected to improve durability, freezing, and thawing damage of concrete in Japan. Properties of fresh and hardened concrete bleeding, compressive strength, and resistance to freezing and thawing which are caused by the rapid freezing and thawing test using liquid nitrogen is a high loader than the JIS A 1148 A method that were investigated. As a result, concrete using treated low-class recycled coarse aggregate and 50% or 30% replacement of crushed sand with blast furnace slag sand showed the best results, in terms of bleeding, resistance to freezing and thawing.
