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.

Concrete Mixtures

Extensive studies have been performed on the mechanical and durability properties of the concrete prepared with recycled coarse aggregates (RCA), however, only modest consideration has been given to the studies on the behaviour of RAC prepared by alternative mixing approach techniques. This study presents the mechanical properties of the recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) with different percentages of RCA prepared by normal mixing approach (NMA), two-stage mixing approach (TSMA) and sand enveloped mixing approach (SEMA) techniques. The manufactured concrete mixtures were tested for compression, tension, flexure and elastic modulus at 7, 28 and 90 days. The results indicate that the mechanical properties of the RAC (with 100% of RCA) prepared through TSMA and SEMA were improved by 9.36 and 12.14% at 28 days. Perhaps, prolonged curing to TSMA and SEMA mixtures improved the mechanical properties of the RAC that is nearly equal to normal aggregate concrete (NAC) prepared by NMA.
