Recycled concrete aggregate (RA) from pavement demolition was used to make concrete. Ten concrete mixtures with different replacement percentages of RA (coarse and fine) were made. The corrosion rate of steel and the electrical resistivity of concrete were determined on reinforced concrete specimens subjected to wetting-drying cycles (3.5% solution of NaCl). Corrosion rate was determined using the electrochemical technique of linear polarization resistance, while the electrical resistivity was measured by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The results show that the use of RA introduces more interfaces in concrete, which accelerates the steel corrosion process because the porosity increases and the electrical resistivity decreases. However, steel corrosion and the electrical resistivity in concrete are not significantly influenced by replacing a maximum 30% of coarse aggregate or 20% of fine aggregate with RA.

As the amount of waste concrete has been increased and recycling technique advances, this study investigates the applicability of recycled concrete aggregate for concrete structures. In addition fly ash, the industrial by-product, was considered in the concrete mix. Experimental program performed compressive strength and chloride penetration resistance tests with various replacement levels of fine recycled concrete aggregate and fly ash. In most case, the design strength, 40MPa, was obtained. It was known that the replacement of the fine aggregate with fine RCA may have greater influence on the strength development rather than the addition of fly ash. It is recommended that when complete coarse aggregate is replaced with RCA the fine RCA replacement should be less than 60%. The recycled aggregate concrete can achieve sufficient resistance to the chloride ion penetration and the resistance can be more effectively controlled by adding fly ash. It I finally conclude that the recycled concrete aggregate can be successfully used in the construction field and the recycling rate of waste concrete and flay ash should be increased without causing significant engineering problems.

Concrete Mix

An excessive extraction of natural resources for aggregate in concrete mix can caused an environmental degradation.  According to Indonesia ministry of industry in 2017, the use of cement is predicted will reach 84,96 million tons, that can affected the use of aggregate for concrete mix are quadruplet to 250 – 350 million tons. Opimally, the use of recycled material is green method that can reduce an excessive extraction of natural aggregates and keep an environmental sustain. The aim of this study is to obtain recycled aggregate concrete compressive strength and examine recycled aggregate concrete quality in days 3, 7, 28, 35, and 90 along with a proposal of the use of recycled aggregate concrete as a building construction material. This research used experimental method of SNI 03-2834-2002 the standard of normal concrete mix design for f’c 25 MPa then built five types of concrete mix of REC B, REC C, REC D, REC E, and REC F with every types of concrete has four sample are used for compressive strength test. The fine recycled paving block aggregate (RPA) were used partially to substituted a fine recycled brick aggregate (RBA) at 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% by weigth. The result of this study showed the mixed concrete REC D with RCA 100%, RPA 50% and RBA 50% in 28 days is generate highest compressive strength than other recycle aggregates concrete mixes. Compressive strength at 28 days in a mix codes REC B, REC C, REC D, REC E and REC F are 18,12 MPa; 18,36 MPa; 19,35 MPa;16,69 MPa; and 16,39 MPa. The results show that it is feasible to replace a natural aggregate entirely by recycled aggregates. With compressive strength over 17 MPa at 28 days, mix codes REC B, REC C and REC D are recommended to use the recycled aggregate concrete for structure of residential buildings but mix codes REC E and REC F aren’t recommended and only allowed for non-structural concrete such as separate wall (SNI 8140:2016). Based on SNI 03-0691-1996 about solid brick concrete (paving block), recycle aggregate concrete with mix code of REC B, REC C, and REC D are able to use on paving block with B quality such as parking lot. While, recycled aggregate concrete with mix code of REC E and REC F are able to use on paving block with C and D quality which used for pedestrian, garden and other use.

By processing waste into recycled aggregate concrete, and producing recycled concrete aggregate with 50 percent of it replacing natural gravel, we make a study of different curing conditions on the carbonation of recycled concrete as well as the resistance capacity of steel corrosion. The experiment results indicate that the depth of carbonation of recycled concrete increases sharply with the standard curing period lowering. The recycled concrete steel corrosion resistance rate decreases as standard maintenance ages. The recycled concrete steel corrosion rate is much lower than the general concrete steel. The steel corrosion weight loss rate of general concrete is less than 0.3%, with no rusting of the steel. The steel corrosion weight loss rate of recycled concrete is mostly more than 0.3%, with apparent rusting.

In the article the possibility of utilization of two waste materials: Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) fraction 0-2 mm and Class C fly ash (from lignite burning power plant) in Controlled Low-Strength Material (CLSM) was presented. The research covered twelve different mixtures. The mixtures differed in cement and fly ash content as well as content of the fine aggregate. As a fine aggregate 0-2 mm fraction of RCA or river sand were used. The results showed that use the fine fraction RCA instead of sand does not cause technological problems and allows, depending on the needs, obtaining the material with different properties and a wide range of applications.

Experiments on influence of species of aggregate and mixing method on interfacial zone in recycled aggregate concrete were investigated. SEM observations revealed that a recycle normal-strength concrete aggregate consist of loose and porous interfacial structure, whereas a recycled high performance concrete (HPC) aggregate and a triple mixing (TM) consist mainly of dense hydrates. Various admixtures on ITZ was produced that consumed CH in the pore, modified attached cement mortar. Strength of recycled concrete was explained by interaction between cements paste and recycled aggregate. The result verified that the relatively dense pore structure of the recycled concrete benefit to development of mechanical properties.

Free Shrinkage

Cracks can reduce the service life of a concrete structure by allowing aggressive agents to penetrate through it in easy ways. Free shrinkage evaluation alone is not enough to determine if cracking can be expected in a structure since concrete creep behaviour, stiffness and toughness also influence the potential for cracking. Consequently, it is rather interesting to perform restrained shrinkage tests, such as the ring test according to ASTM C 1581–04. The testing procedure involves concrete ring specimens restrained by an inner steel ring on which strain gauges are placed to determine the age of cracking, since abrupt changes in the steel strain occur when concrete is cracked. Both the ring test and free shrinkage test should be carried out in the same exposure conditions, 21°C and 50% relative humidity. Moreover, compressive and tensile strengths of concrete were evaluated on cubic specimens at the time of its cracking and up to 28 days of curing. By means of analytical and numerical models of the ring specimen, some useful information on the stress induced in the material and on the tensile creep behaviour of concrete can be extrapolated thus allowing to better interpret the experimental results. This experimental procedure enables to study the influence of concrete mixture composition on the potential for early-age cracking of concrete. In particular, in this work the influence on early-age cracking of recycled-concrete aggregate partially replacing virgin sand was tested.

Introduction: Freeze-thaw resistance of recycled aggregate concrete with partial or total replacement of recycled aggregate compared with that of natural aggregate concrete was investigated in this paper. Method: Ninety specimens were fabricated to study the influence of different recycled aggregate replacement ratios on the surface scaling, mass loss, and residual compressive strength after 100 freeze-thaw cycles. Results: The experiment results indicate that the type of recycled aggregate and its replacement ratio have significant effects on the freeze-thaw performance. The cubic compressive strength of recycled aggregate concrete is overall slightly lower than that of normal concrete. After 100 freeze-thaw cycles, the compressive strength decreases and the reduction extent increases with increasing replacement rate of recycled aggregate. The surface scaling of reinforced recycled concrete prisms tends to be more severe with the increase of freeze-thaw cycles. Conclusion: Furthermore, a notable rise in mass loss and the bearing capacity loss is also found as the substitution ratio increases. Under the same replacement rate, recycled fine aggregate causes more negative effects on the freeze-thaw resistance than recycled coarse aggregate.

Cft Column

Recycled aggregate is an environmentally self-sustainable solution that can reduce construction waste and replace natural aggregates. However, there is a disadvantage in concrete such as initial strength drop and long-term strength development. Therefore, the interaction effect of the two materials can be expected by filling the cyclic aggregate concrete in the CFT column. In order to develop a concrete with compressive strength of 50 MPa as a recycled aggregate, we carried out a mixing experiment and fabricated 18 specimens to confirm the compressive behavior of a RCFT (Recycled Concrete Filled Tube) column that can be applied to actual buildings. Variable is the shape and thickness of steel pipe, concrete strength and mixing ratio, and coarse aggregate and fine aggregate are all used as recycled aggregate. The optimum mixing ratio for recycled aggregate concrete to be filled in the CFT filled steel pipe was found through three concrete preliminary mixing experiments. In addition, the compression test of the RCFT column was carried out to observe and analyze the buckling shape of the CFT column. Based on the analysis of the buckling configuration and the experimental data, the load-displacement curves of the specimens were drawn and the compressive behavior was analyzed.

Concrete Production

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.
