Stiffening Effect

abstract: Concrete with recycled aggregate is a fragile material under tensile stresses. However, like conventional concrete, it is possible that its contribution is relevant in the design of reinforced concrete elements under tension or bending, even after cracking. The objective of this work is to evaluate the application of the analytical models used to predict the effect of tension stiffening on recycled reinforced concrete. Tests of reinforced concrete under tensile were performed using conventional concrete and concrete containing 25% and 50% replacement of the natural aggregate with recycled aggregate. From the experimental results of reinforced concrete, the contribution of the concrete was isolated and a parametric study was carried out to identify which analytical model in the literature may be more appropriate. The models proposed by Carreira and Chu (1986), Vecchio and Collins (1986) and Hsu and Mo (2010) were evaluated. A numerical analysis, based on the finite element method, was implemented to model the mechanical behavior of the reinforced concrete under tensile using the analytical models already adjusted to concrete with recycled aggregate. The stress distribution in steel and concrete and the cracking mode were evaluated numerically. The results indicate that the parameters used in the analytical models for conventional concrete cannot predict the behavior of concrete with recycled aggregate and need to be modified to obtain a more accurate answer.

At the standard calculation of the cracking moment for bending reinforced concrete elements the plasticity coefficient γ is normally used, which according to SP 63.13330.2012 is 35% less than in the old SNiP 2.03.01-84*. The question arises, what is the reason for such a noticeable difference and which of the methods gives more reliable results? This article seeks to answer this question. For this purpose the physical meaning of the coefficient γ was considered in detail, with the usage of a nonlinear deformation model of a normal section. A calculation formula for γ depending on an element’s reinforcement degree was obtained, which is valid for conventional concrete of B15-B35 class. A comparison of the calculated cracking moment according to the proposed method with experiments by the other authors was carried out. A good agreement of results was observed.

Stiffening Effect

Nonlinear inelastic force-displacement response envelopes of full-scale reinforced concrete bridge portal frames are predicted in this paper by representing the frame using strut-and-tie models. The nonlinear strut-and-tie analyses, which included the tension stiffening effect, were performed using the computer program Drain-2DX. Strut-and-tie analytical results were found to correlate satisfactorily with the experimental data and to provide superior prediction to that generated using conventional planar frame models.

Recycled aggregates are those crushed cement concrete or asphalt pavement which comes out from the construction debris which is reused in construction. They are made from the reprocessing of materials which have been used in previous constructions. This paper discusses about the study of properties of recycled aggregates from the sources which has already been published. The results are that 100% replacement of natural aggregate by recycled concrete aggregate effect on chloride ions resistance, it plays negative effects on durability of recycled concrete aggregates, and addition of fiber in recycled aggregate concrete mixture gave more effective in the performance of concrete. On experimental study of recycled aggregate, compressive, flexural and split tensile strength of the recycled aggregate were found to be lower than that of the natural aggregate. Use of recycled aggregate in a new concrete production is still limited. Recommendation of introduction of recycled aggregates standard is required for the materials to be used successfully in future. Gaps in literature reviews are also included in this paper.

Steel Rebars

The operation of reinforced concrete structures is directly associated with the adhesion between the steel bar and the concrete, which allows the internal forces to be transferred to the reinforcement during the process of loading the structural elements. The modification of the concrete composition, with the introduction of recycled aggregate from construction and demolition waste (CDW), affects the steel-concrete interface and can modify the bonding stress, which is also influenced by the type and diameter of the bar used. In this work, the influence of the recycled fine aggregate (RFA) and types of steel bar on the steel-concrete bond was experimentally evaluated using the pullout test. Conventional concrete and recycled concrete, with RFA replacement level of 25%, were produced. Two types of steel rebars (i.e.,plain and deformed) with  diameters of 10.0 and 16.0mm were considered in this paper. The results indicate a reduction in the adhesion stress with the introduction of recycled aggregate, but this trend is influenced by the diameter of the bar used. The use of ribbed bars modifies the stress bon-slip behavior, with an increase in the average bond strength, which is also observed with the reduction of the diameter of the bar.

Porous Pavement

Rainwater harvesting and flood prevention in cities are significant urban hydrological concerns. The use of porous pavement is one of the most effective solutions to handle this matter. Thus, this study aims to develop Porous Interlocking Concrete Pavement (PICP) using recycled aggregate from concrete waste. This porous pavement, then later, can be utilized in low traffic areas and parking lots to harvest water by infiltration and reduce surface runoff. First, the physical properties of the porous concrete blocks, such as density (unit weight), absorption, coefficient of permeability, and porosity, were studied. Also, the mechanical properties of concrete mixtures like compressive strength and flexural strength were tested. This study used two types of PICP, the first one with ordinary coarse aggregate (P1) and the second with recycled crushed concrete coarse aggregate (P2), and then compared their performance to the conventional concrete pavement blocks used the two types of coarse aggregate (R1 and R2). The results show that the unit weight (density) of porous types was reduced by 25% and 26%, and the total porosity increases by around 2.4 times and 18 times respectively, as compared to conventional concrete pavement types. However, the compressive strength and flexural strength of porous concrete types decreased by (55% and 71%), respectively, compared to conventional types. Overall, the infiltration test results showed that the infiltrated water through porous concrete increased by about 83% in comparison to conventional concrete. From the results, utilizing porous concrete pavement can be considered a promising material in terms of water harvesting and decreasing rainwater flooding. Additionally, using recycled concrete can bring economical and environmental benefits.

The linear economy paradigm in place to date has to be seriously challenged to give way to a new school of thought known as the circular economy. In this research work, precast kerbs and paving blocks made with recycled concrete (RACC-mixture) bearing 50 wt% mixed recycled aggregate (masonry content of 33%) and an eco-efficient cementitious material as 25 wt% conventional binder replacement were evaluated to assess their intrinsic potential to replace traditional raw materials, in keeping with circular economy criteria. Therefore, precast products were subjected to mechanical strength, durability and microstructure tests and were compared to conventional concrete units (CC-mixture and commercially available precast elements). Although a class demotion was observed for water absorption and some decreases in flexural strength (26%), splitting tensile strength (12.8%) and electrical resistivity (45%) and a lower class water absorption were registered, and the recycled mixture also exhibited a greater performance in terms of compressive strength (6%), a better abrasion resistance classification and a comparable porosity and microstructure, which ensures a good concrete durability. In any case, the results showed that precast pieces were European standard-compliant, thus supporting the viability of the mixed recycled aggregates and eco-efficient cementitious replacement in footways.
