Concrete Recycling

Assessment of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) properties by laboratory tests is still required due to lack of precise guidelines and with taking into account slightly different behaviour of such concretes in comparison with natural aggregate concretes (NAC). It is especially important when recycled concrete aggregates are used for the structural elements. In this paper, the following rules for the whole concrete recycling cycle were defined: (1) rules for examination of original concretes selected for recycling and (2) rules for aggregate preparation and their fractionize as well as design rules for recycled aggregate concrete mixtures (including required tests of recycled aggregates and concrete properties). Requirements towards recycled aggregate concrete formulated in this paper are based on the long term experience and research works on the RAC which were held by A. Ajdukiewicz and A. Kliszczewicz in the Department of Structural Engineering of the Silesian University of Technology, practically since 1995.

Concrete Recycling

This study shows the torsional conduct of aggregate streaming beams of reinforced concrete recycling. Pure torsion was perceived for 15 reinforced concrete beams containing recycled concrete aggregates. The beams were grouped into five lengths and cross-sectional groups. The study’s principal parameters were the various percentages of longitudinal steel reinforcement and the proportions of recycled aggregates. The beams were purely twisted until failure and investigated for torsional and crack behaviour. The findings show that the beams with maximum steel enhancement and standard aggregate exhibited maximum cracking power and ultimate torsional strength. Recycled aggregates increased the presence of splitting and the ultimate strength, and the effects of steel strengthening in recycled beams were apparent. In a second analysis, the whole torsional reaction of the beams was analytically predicted. A soft truss model was used and matched with test results for standard beams. A strong compromise was generally reached.

Concrete Mix

An excessive extraction of natural resources for aggregate in concrete mix can caused an environmental degradation.  According to Indonesia ministry of industry in 2017, the use of cement is predicted will reach 84,96 million tons, that can affected the use of aggregate for concrete mix are quadruplet to 250 – 350 million tons. Opimally, the use of recycled material is green method that can reduce an excessive extraction of natural aggregates and keep an environmental sustain. The aim of this study is to obtain recycled aggregate concrete compressive strength and examine recycled aggregate concrete quality in days 3, 7, 28, 35, and 90 along with a proposal of the use of recycled aggregate concrete as a building construction material. This research used experimental method of SNI 03-2834-2002 the standard of normal concrete mix design for f’c 25 MPa then built five types of concrete mix of REC B, REC C, REC D, REC E, and REC F with every types of concrete has four sample are used for compressive strength test. The fine recycled paving block aggregate (RPA) were used partially to substituted a fine recycled brick aggregate (RBA) at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% by weigth. The result of this study showed the mixed concrete REC D with RCA 100%, RPA 50% and RBA 50% in 28 days is generate highest compressive strength than other recycle aggregates concrete mixes. Compressive strength at 28 days in a mix codes REC B, REC C, REC D, REC E and REC F are 18,12 MPa; 18,36 MPa; 19,35 MPa;16,69 MPa; and 16,39 MPa. The results show that it is feasible to replace a natural aggregate entirely by recycled aggregates. With compressive strength over 17 MPa at 28 days, mix codes REC B, REC C and REC D are recommended to use the recycled aggregate concrete for structure of residential buildings but mix codes REC E and REC F aren’t recommended and only allowed for non-structural concrete such as separate wall (SNI 8140:2016). Based on SNI 03-0691-1996 about solid brick concrete (paving block), recycle aggregate concrete with mix code of REC B, REC C, and REC D are able to use on paving block with B quality such as parking lot. While, recycled aggregate concrete with mix code of REC E and REC F are able to use on paving block with C and D quality which used for pedestrian, garden and other use.

Waste Concrete

The effects of using crushed waste concrete as course aggregates upon compressive strength and carbonation were investigated. Waste concrete cubes, which had been tested for compressive strength in compliance with construction specification, were crushed and utilized as coarse recycled aggregates in new concrete. It is important to mention that, in order to simulate the real life conditions, waste concrete with very minimal information about its originality was used in its natural moisture condition. Tests on the aggregates showed that the recycled concrete aggregates have lower specific gravity and bulk density but have higher water absorption capacity than the natural aggregates. The resistance to mechanical actions such as impact and crushing for recycled concrete aggregates is also lower. Concrete mixes with design strength of 30 N/mm2, 35 N/mm2 and 40 N/mm2 were prepared using this recycled aggregates as coarse aggregates and tested. From the strength point of view the recycled aggregate concrete compared well with natural aggregate concrete. Therefore, it could be considered for various potential applications. With respect to resistance to carbonation the recycled aggregate concrete shows comparable performance.

Aggregate Concrete

In this rapid industrialised world, recycling construction material plays an important role to preserve the natural resources. In this research, recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) from site-tested concrete specimens were used. These consist of 28-days concrete cubes after compression test obtained from a local construction site. These concrete cubes are crushed to suitable size and reused as recycled coarse aggregate. The amount of recycled concrete aggregate used in this research is approximately 200 kg. Many researchers state that recycled aggregates are only suitable for non-structural concrete application. This research, however, shows that the recycled aggregates that are obtained from site-tested concrete specimen make good quality concrete. The compressive strength of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) is found to be higher than the compressive strength of normal concrete. Recycled aggregate concrete is in close proximity to normal concrete in terms of split tensile strength, flexural strength and wet density. The slump of recycled aggregate concrete is low and that can be improved by using saturated surface dry (SSD) coarse aggregate.

As the amount of waste concrete has been increased and recycling technique advances, this study investigates the applicability of recycled concrete aggregate for concrete structures. In addition fly ash, the industrial by-product, was considered in the concrete mix. Experimental program performed compressive strength and chloride penetration resistance tests with various replacement levels of fine recycled concrete aggregate and fly ash. In most case, the design strength, 40MPa, was obtained. It was known that the replacement of the fine aggregate with fine RCA may have greater influence on the strength development rather than the addition of fly ash. It is recommended that when complete coarse aggregate is replaced with RCA the fine RCA replacement should be less than 60%. The recycled aggregate concrete can achieve sufficient resistance to the chloride ion penetration and the resistance can be more effectively controlled by adding fly ash. It I finally conclude that the recycled concrete aggregate can be successfully used in the construction field and the recycling rate of waste concrete and flay ash should be increased without causing significant engineering problems.

Experiments on influence of species of aggregate and mixing method on interfacial zone in recycled aggregate concrete were investigated. SEM observations revealed that a recycle normal-strength concrete aggregate consist of loose and porous interfacial structure, whereas a recycled high performance concrete (HPC) aggregate and a triple mixing (TM) consist mainly of dense hydrates. Various admixtures on ITZ was produced that consumed CH in the pore, modified attached cement mortar. Strength of recycled concrete was explained by interaction between cements paste and recycled aggregate. The result verified that the relatively dense pore structure of the recycled concrete benefit to development of mechanical properties.

Large Water

Recycled concrete aggregates have large porosity, large water absorption and high crush index. Mechanical properties of recycled concrete aggregates could be improved by adding activated water instead of ordinary water. On the basis of the experimental studies, this paper analyzes the influences on recycled concrete compression strength when using activated water. There are many different factors such as the kinds and amounts of alkali and the water slag ratio affecting the compressive strength of recycle geopolymer. The results show that activated water has a high enhancement on compressive strength of recycled aggregate concrete, and the highest compressive strength of recycled geopolymer is 57.3MPa.
