Steel fiber reinforced recycled coarse aggregate concrete (SFRCAC) is an impact minimisation building material. Mixture proportion design method of SFRCAC is developed in this paper to obtain concrete with target strength and workability, which can be used in structural members. Four key parameters of mixture proportioning, steel fiber content, water-cement ratio, water content and sand ratio are discussed through the mixture design tests. The formula for calculating the four key parameters of mixture proportions for SFRCAC are established through the statistical analysis of test results, which mainly consider the influences of recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) replacement ratio and steel fiber characteristic coefficient. The detailed procedure by using the new mixture proportion design method is illustrated with examples. The formulas established have the simple form, reflect the properties of RCA and steel fibers, enhance the mixture proportion design accuracy, and provide the reference for the mix proportion design of SFRCAC.

Recycled coarse aggregate solid concrete bricks were produced by QTY4-40 brick machine with strength grades of MU15-MU30. Compression and flexural strength of solid recycled coarse aggregate concrete brick were investigated. The impact of recycled aggregate on the solid concrete brick mechanical properties and physical properties was analyzed. The relationship between physical properties and strength, density was discussed.

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.

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.
