Carbonation durability is an important subject for recycled coarse aggregate concrete (RAC) applied to structural concrete. Extensive studies were carried out on the carbonation resistance of RAC under general environmental conditions, but limited researches investigated carbonation resistance when exposed to chloride ion corrosion, which is an essential aspect for reinforced concrete materials to be adopted in real-world applications. This paper presents a study on the carbonation durability of two generations of 100% RAC with the effect of chloride ion corrosion. The quality evolution of recycled concrete coarse aggregate (RCA) with the increasing recycling cycles was analyzed, and carbonation depth, compressive strength and the porosity of RAC were measured before and after chloride ion corrosion. The results show that the effect of chloride ion corrosion negatively affected the carbonation resistance of RAC, and the negative effect was more severe with the increasing recycling cycles of RCA. Chloride ion corrosion led to a decrease in compressive strength, while an increase in carbonation depth and the porosity of RAC. The equation of concrete total porosity and carbonation depth was established, which could effectively judge the deterioration of carbonation resistance of RAC.

Shrinkage property is a significant indicator of the durability of concrete, and the shrinkage of green recycled concrete is particularly problematic. In this paper, construction waste was crushed and screened to generate simple-crushed recycled coarse aggregate (SCRCA). The SCRCA was then subjected to particle shaping to create primary particle-shaped recycled coarse aggregate (PPRCA). On this basis, the PPRCA was particle-shaped again to obtain the secondary particle-shaped recycled coarse aggregate (SPRCA). Under conditions where the dosage of cementitious material is 300 kg/m3 and the sand rate is 38%, a new high-belite sulphoaluminate cement (HBSAC) with low carbon emission and superior efficiency was used as the basic cementitious material. Taking the quality of recycled coarse aggregate (SCRCA, PPRCA, and SPRCA) and the replacement ratio (25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%) as the influencing factors to prepare the green recycled concrete, the workability and shrinkage property of the prepared concrete were analyzed. The results show that the water consumption of green recycled concrete decreases as the quality of the recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) increases and the replacement ratio decreases, provided that the green recycled concrete achieves the same workability. With the improvement of RCA quality and the decrease of replacement ratio, the shrinkage of recycled concrete decreases. The shrinkage performance of green recycled concrete configured with the SPRCA completely replacing the natural coarse aggregate (NCA) is basically the same as that of the natural aggregate concrete (NAC).

This study was conducted to experimentally investigate the behavior of recycled concrete-filled circular steel tube (RCFST) columns subjected to cyclic loading. Ten specimens were prepared and tested. Four parameters were used to characterize seismic behavior: the replacement percentage of recycled coarse aggregate, slenderness ratio, axial compression level, and steel ratio. A novel calculation method for the bearing capacity for RCFST columns is established. The failure processes and modes of RCFST columns are found to be similar to normal concrete-filled steel tube columns. Varying the replacement percentage of recycled coarse aggregate has little effect on the hysteresis curves of the RCFST columns. The RCFST columns also show seismic performance similar to that of concrete-filled steel tubes. The displacement ductility of all specimens is larger than 3.0 and the equivalent viscous damping coefficients corresponding to the ultimate load range from 0.305 to 0.460.

In order to reveal the flexural behavior of normal section of steel reinforced recycled coarse aggregate concrete beams,6 steel reinforced recycled concrete beams were designed for flexural test,the study mainly considered the impact of coarse aggregate replacement rates and concrete strength grade two changing parameters on the flexural behavior of steel reinforced recycled coarse aggregate concrete beams. Through this test, the whole mechanical process、crack distribution and failure behavior of this kind of specimens were observed, and obtained the stress-strain distribution curves、the ultimate bearing capacity and load-displacement curves parameters. Based on the study measurement data, deeply analyzed the impact of coarse aggregate replacement rates and concrete strength grade on the flexural behavior of steel reinforced recycled coarse aggregate concrete beams. The result shows that: steel reinforced recycled coarse aggregate concrete beams’ failure pattern was similar to normal SRC beams, during loading process the section strain agreed with the plane-section assumption, and the beams have good bearing capacity and deformation performance.

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.

Using orthogonal test, the influence of variable mixing proportions of recycled coarse aggregate, polypropylene fibre and air entraining and water-reducing admixture on the anti-penetration capability of chloride ion of recycled concrete is analyzed. And the mechanism of resistance to chloride ion permeation concerning different mixing proportions of the materials is figured out. After that, basing on the effects of these materials on the durability life of recycled concrete in chlorate surroundings, the sequence is worked out: first, air entraining and water reducing agent, then recycled coarse aggregate, last one, polypropylene fibre. Employing Fick’s second law, the durability life of recycled concrete applied in chlorate environment is estimated. As a result, evidences for the practical application of recycled concrete are provided for its use in the northern cold areas and the places along the coast.

By ANSYS finite element analysis we study the impact-span moment and deflection of high strength recycled concrete beam in state of initial cracking and yield with different water-cement ratio and recycled coarse aggregate replacement rate. The results showed that: 1With the increase of water-cement ratio and recycled coarse aggregate replacement rate, the deflection is on the rise. 2With the increase of recycled coarse aggregate replacement rate, the yield moment has a slight upward trend. And with the increase of water-cement ratio and recycled coarse aggregate replacement rate, the span deflection at the state of yield has a growing trend.
