This paper addresses durability and shrinkage performance of the self-compacting concretes (SCCs) in which natural coarse aggregate (NCA) and/or natural fine aggregate (NFA) were replaced by recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) and/or recycled fine aggregate (RFA), respectively. A total of 16 SCCs were produced and classified into four series, each of which included four mixes designed with two water to binder (w/b) ratios of 0.3 and 0.43 and two silica fume replacement levels of 0 and 10%. Durability properties of SCCs were tested for rapid chloride penetration, water sorptivity, gas permeability, and water permeability at 56 days. Also, drying shrinkage accompanied by the water loss and restrained shrinkage of SCCs were monitored over 56 days of drying period. Test results revealed that incorporating recycled coarse and/or fine aggregates aggravated the durability properties of SCCs tested in this study. The drying shrinkage and restrained shrinkage cracking of recycled aggregate (RA) concretes had significantly poorer performance than natural aggregate (NA) concretes. The time of cracking greatly prolonged as the RAs were used along with the increase in water/binder ratio.

Physical Tests

In this work it was studied the influence of recycled fine aggregate obtained from construction and demolition waste (CDW) on the rheological properties of Portland cement mortars. The CDW was initially separate in their main constituents (mortar, ceramic and concrete debris) at the laboratory and then grinded separately to the sand size in order to generate more homogeneous fine aggregates. The characterization of the natural and recycled sands was carried out through physical tests, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and image analysis (shape and texture description parameters). A conventional mortar and three mortars containing recycled sands were produced with a sand/cement ratio of 4 and consistency index of 255±5 mm. The consistency was kept constant by ranging the water-cement ratio from 0.58 to 1.14. The rheological study was performed using a rotating viscometer to obtain torque-rotation ratio and to calculate the yield stress and plastic viscosity. The results indicate that the presence of recycled aggregate causes a lowering of both yield stress and plastic viscosity with respect to the mortar containing natural aggregate.

The Relationship

In Japan, it is forecasted that massive amounts of concrete waste material will be generated in the future as a result of demolition of many buildings, and expansion of the use of recycled aggregate is expected. In this study, it was verified the effect when relatively large amount of admixture is mixed, a combination of recycled fine aggregate of different quality and various admixtures, combination of each admixture in order to realize high strength and high durability by using recycled aggregate. The increase in the drying shrinkage ratio due to the deterioration of the recycled fine aggregate quality was larger than the fluctuation due to the admixture mixing ratio and the drying shrinkage ratio was distributed by forming a group for each quality of recycled fine aggregate. In the relationship between the pore volume and the compressive strength, when evaluated with pore volume of 2 μm or less in both cases, a good linear relationship could be confirmed. The relationship between the pore volume and the drying shrinkage rate was similar. Therefore, it was suggested that compressive strength and drying shrinkage ratio of mortar contained composite recycled fine aggregate and admixture could be predicted by evaluating with the pore volume of 2 μm or less.

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.

Mechanical Strengths

This work aims to study the influence of using construction and demolition waste in the replacement of coarse and fine aggregate to produce recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). A moderate compressive strength concrete made with usual fine and coarse aggregate was used as a benchmark material. Compressive and split tensile tests were performed using 120 cylindrical concrete specimens with 150 mm diameter and 300 mm length. Four-point flexural tests in reinforced beams made with conventional concrete and RAC were performed. The results obtained showed that the use of recycled fine aggregates, in both percentages of substitution investigated—50% and 100%— did not generate any deleterious influence on the values of compressive strength and split tensile strength of the RACs produced. Tin fact, the mechanical strengths of RACs produced with recycled fine aggregate were equal or higher than those from the reference concrete. The same behavior was not observed, however, when the recycled coarse aggregate was used. For this case, decreases in concrete mechanical strengths were observed, especially in compressive strength, with values around 35% lower when compared to the reference concrete. Tensile mechanical tests results confirmed the excellent behavior of all RACs made with replacement of usual fine aggregates by recycled. Bending tests performed in reinforced RAC beams had as objective to evaluate the deformation profile of the beams. The obtained results showed that RAC beams with full replacement of usual fine aggregate by the recycled aggregates have presented little changes in the global behavior, an aspect that encourages its use.

-Continuous raw material demand was increased in concrete productions which requires good quality and cost efficient alternative materials like Recycled Coarse Aggregate, M Sand and Glass as aggregate. This paper reports the behaviour of concrete using Glass aggregate as Fine Aggregate and Recycled aggregate as Coarse Aggregate replacement in concrete up to 15% and 30% respectively. In this project work, the concrete grade M25 was selected and IS method was used for mix design. The properties of Cement, M-Sand, Natural Coarse Aggregate, Glass asAggregate and Recycled Aggregate were investigated. The Beam Specimens were casted with and without C&D waste (Coarse Aggregate Replaced with Recycled Aggregate at 30% and Fine Aggregates replaced with Glass Aggregate at 15%). Vibration Analysis were made by using FFT analyser to determine acceleration characteristics. The work is focused on possible conservation of natural resources by substituting with waste material by suggesting a possible reuse option for Construction waste.

Overall Performance

Recycled aggregate performance vary with different native concrete strength and use environment. Recycled fine aggregate was obtained after the primary concrete was broken and screened. According to Recycled coarse aggregate for concrete and mortar (GB/T 25176-2010), the physical properties of the different types of recycled fine aggregate were analyzed, in addition, determine the classification. The results shows that the properties of recycled fine aggregate all meet the level and they are vary by strengths of its maternal primary concrete and using environments. The overall performance of fine aggregate of high strength primary concrete is the best, followed by the low strength concrete and the moderate strength 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.

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 fine aggregate(RFA) from waste recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) were determined. In this study, five series of parental concrete mixtures using natural coarse and fine aggregates were prepared, which had the same target slump value from 35mm to 50mm and different compressive strengths ranging from 25MPa to 60 MPa. These concretes were used as recycled aggregates to prepare RACs with a compressive target strength of 30MPa. After that, these RACs were used as secondly recycled aggregates to produce RACs with the same compressive target strength of 30MPa. The physical properties of RFAs including apparent density, compacted bulk density and water absorption were tested. At the same time, fineness modulus of natural fine aggregates and RAFs were calculated and their mineral compositions were analyzed. The results showed that RAFs from waste RACs were not adequate to structural concrete alone because they belonged to coarse tape and their mineral compositions were adverse to the best growth of strength of RACs.
