Using recycled aggregate in concrete is one of the best ways to reduce construction pollution and prevent the exploitation of natural resources to provide the needed aggregate. However, recycled aggregates affect the mechanical properties of concrete, but the existing information on the subject is less than what the industry needs. Compressive strength, on the other hand, is the most important mechanical property of concrete. Therefore, having predictive models to provide the required information can be helpful to convince the industry to increase the use of recycled aggregate in concrete. In this research, three different optimization algorithms including genetic algorithm (GA), salp swarm algorithm (SSA), and grasshopper optimization algorithm (GOA) are employed to be hybridized with artificial neural network (ANN) separately to predict the compressive strength of concrete containing recycled aggregate, and a M5P tree model is used to test the efficiency of the ANNs. The results of this study show the superior efficiency of the modified ANN with SSA when compared to other models. However, the statistical indicators of the hybrid ANNs with SSA, GA, and GOA are so close to each other.

Machine learning is the discipline of learning commands in the computer machine to predict and expect the results of real application and is currently the most promising simulation in artificial intelligence. This paper aims at using different algorithms to calculate and predict the compressive strength of extrusion 3DP concrete (cement mortar). The investigation is carried out using multi-objective grasshopper optimization algorithm (MOGOA) and artificial neural network (ANN). Given that the accuracy of a machine learning method depends on the number of data records, and for concrete 3D printing, this number is limited to few years of study, this work develops a new method by combining both methodologies into an ANNMOGOA approach to predict the compressive strength of 3D-printed concrete. Some promising results in the iteration process are achieved.

Marble Industry produces large amount of waste during mining and processing stages. This waste is dumped on to open land which creates a lot of environmental problems We get recycle aggregate from the old dumped structures and buildings. The main objective of this study was utilization of marble, granite and recycled aggregate waste with polypropylene fiber as a replacement for conventional natural coarse aggregates in concrete. Experimental investigations were carried out to examine the feasibility of use of marble, granite and recycled aggregates waste as coarse aggregates in concrete. Conventional natural coarse aggregates was fully replacement by marble in different percentages 0-60% , granite 0-30% and recycle aggregates 0-40% with polypropylene fiber less than 1% by weight. The concrete formulations were prepared with a constant water.

This paper presents a study on the compressive strength of concrete using recycled aggregates. The concrete was designed to have a 25MPa compressive strength and an 8cm slump. The rates of replacing natural aggregates with recycled coarse were 0%, 10%, and 20%. The test samples were compressed to determine their compressive strength value after 7, 14, and 28 days of curing. The results showed that the concrete slump did not change effectively at a 10% replacement rate. When using 20% recycled aggregates, the concrete was too hard and the homogeneity of the concrete mixture could not be guaranteed. The compressive strength slightly decreased using 10% of recycled aggregates and decreased significantly using 20%. Therefore, 20% of recycled aggregate replacement is not suitable. The results showed that using recycled aggregates at a rate of 10% is optimal.

The properties of concrete containing coarse recycled aggregates were investigated. Laboratory trials were conducted to investigate the possibility of using recycled aggregates from the demolition wastes available locally as the replacement of natural coarse aggregates in concrete. A series of tests were carried out to determine the density, compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength and modulus of elasticity of concrete with and without recycled aggregates. The water cement ratio was kept constant for all the mixes. The coarse aggregate in concrete was replaced with 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% recycled coarse aggregates. The test results indicated that the replacement of natural coarse aggregates by recycled aggregates up to 40% had little effect on the compressive strength, but higher levels of replacement reduced the compressive strength. A replacement level of 100% causes a reduction of 28% in compressive strength, 36% in split tensile strength and 50% in flexural strength. For strength characteristics, the results showed a gradual decrease in compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength and modulus of elasticity as the percentage of recycled aggregate used in the specimens increased. 100% replacement of natural coarse aggregate by recycled aggregate resulted in 43% savings in the cost of coarse aggregates and 9% savings in the cost of concrete.

In this study, the effect of using crumb rubber and recycled aggregates on the mechanical properties of concrete has been evaluated as areplacement of fine and coarse aggregates In order to add the admixtures and evaluate their combined effect, 20 different types of concrete mixture ratio were prepared. The results indicated that in those samples containing crumb rubber and recycled aggregates the compressive strength is reduced and adding fiber up to 0.1%. to these concrete samples can improve the compressive strength Also, the tensile strength of the samples mixed with crumb rubber and recycled aggregates were decreased, and with the addition of propylene fiber up to 0.4%. the tensile strength slightly increased Moreover by adding the crumb rubber to the samples the elasticity modulus was reduced but by adding fiber to samples about 0.1% and 0.2.% the modulus of elasticity of concrete in all samples were increased. According to the results, it can be said that using the combination of 5% of crumb rubber as a replacement of fine aggregate, and the combination of 35% of recycled aggregates as a replacement of coarse aggregate, and also by adding 0.1% polypropylene fiber in volumetric percentage of concrete along with adding 7% of micro silica as a replacement of cement led to the best effect on the mechanical properties of concrete.

Compressive strengths of recycled aggregate concrete(RAC) with different recycled aggregates(RA) replacement ratios at 7d, 28d, 60d ages are investigated respectively. Failure process and failure mode of RAC are analyzed, influences on compressive strength with same mix ratio and different RA replacement ratios are analyzed, and the reason is investigated in this paper. The experimental results indicate that compressive strength of recycled concrete at 28d age can reach the standard generally, it is feasible to mix concrete with recycled aggregates, compressive strength with 50% replacement ratio is relatively high.

In order to investigate the internal curing effect of recycled brick aggregate (RBA) in recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) and calculate its contribution to the final compressive strength, two RAC groups with different recycled aggregates and 6 replacement ratios (r) under 4 curing ages were tested. Results show that the compressive strengths of RACI and RACII decrease steadily with the increase of r when below 40%, and that there is a significant drop once the r is higher than 60%. The internal curing effect for RAC with a low RBA ratio is mainly reflected during the curing age of 14–21 days, while for RAC with a high RBA ratio, this internal curing effect appears earlier, during 7–14 days, and becomes very obvious after 14 days. In addition, the actual tested compressive strength of RAC replaced by 100% RBA exceeds around 40% of the expected compressive strength at the age of 28 days. When the age of RAC entirely with RBA is 28 days, the compressive strength caused by the internal curing effect accounts for around 28% of the actual tested compressive strength. The most appropriate r of RBA for RAC production is between 40% to 60%. Finally, the equations for calculating the compressive strength of RAC are presented considering the curing ages, the replacement ratios and the internal curing effect of RBA. Further, a unified equation is suggested for convenience in calculation.
