Freezing And Thawing Cycles

The eccentric compressive behavior of 18 recycled aggregate concrete columns after freezing and thawing cycles were investigated. The effect of the number of freezing and thawing cycles, the replacement ratio of recycled coarse aggregate, and the eccentricity of axial loading on the eccentric compressive behavior of columns was analyzed. The results show that the strain distribution along the depth of cross section of columns was plane during the eccentric compression test after freezing and thawing cycles. With the increase in the freezing and thawing cycles and the replacement ratio of recycled coarse aggregate, the failure modes of partial specimens turned from ductile tension failure to brittle compression failure. Two existing design methods for calculating the bearing capacity of conventional concrete columns subjected to eccentric compressive loading were verified to be effective for evaluating that of recycled aggregate concrete columns after limited freezing and thawing cycles.

In recent years, the amount of construction waste and recycled aggregate has been increasing every year in Korea. However, as the recycled aggregate is poor quality, it is not used for concrete, and the Korean government has strengthened the quality standards for recycled aggregate for concrete. In this study, research was conducted on the mechanical and durability characteristics of concrete using recycled aggregate, after developing equipment to improve the quality of recycled aggregate to increase the use of recycled aggregate for environmental improvements. The results illustrated improvements in the air volume, slump, compressive strength, freezing and thawing resistance, and drying shrinkage. Furthermore, this study is expected to contribute to the increased use of recycled aggregate in the future.

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.

Compressive Strength Test

Recycling old concrete as an alternative source for production new concrete can solve the environment produced by old concrete. To make such recycling feasible, the strength and durability of the recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) must be assured. Prepared recycled coarse and fine aggregate using natural concrete specimens produced by compressive strength test of cubic concrete. Prepared recycled aggregate concrete which replacement ratios is 50% and 70%. Processed compressive strength test of cubic RAC specimens. Carried through the test for resistance of concrete to rapid freezing and thawing on both RAC and natural concrete. As a result of the experiment, the strength of the RAC can reach the design strength, however, the index for the resistance of concrete to rapid freezing and thawing depressed to a certainty degree relative to that of common concrete. Replacement ratio of aggregate influenced relative dynamic modulus of elasticity of RAC seriously. The weight change increased as long as the number of freezing and thawing cycles increased, and the weight change increased when replacement ratio elevation. RAC showed a sharp weight loss during the testing period, and reduce the water cement ratio can increase the durability characteristics of RAC. Also, absorption of the recycled aggregate influenced durability properties of RAC badly.
