This research focused on the modification effects on recycled concrete (RC) prepared with nano-SiO2 and CO2 cured recycled coarse aggregates (RCA) subjected to an aggressive ions environment. For this purpose, RCA was first simply crushed and modified by nano-SiO2 and CO2, respectively, and the compressive strength, ions permeability as well as the macro properties and features of the interface transition zone (ITZ) of RC were investigated after soaking in 3.5% NaCl solution and 5% Na2SO4 solution for 30 days, respectively. The results show that nano-SiO2 modified RC displays higher compressive strength and ions penetration resistance than that treated by carbonation. Besides, we find that ions attack has a significant influence on the microcracks width and micro-hardness of the ITZ between old aggregate and old mortar. The surface topography, elemental distribution and micro-hardness demonstrate that nano-SiO2 curing can significantly decrease the microcracks width as well as Cl− and SO42− penetration in ITZ, thus increasing the micro-hardness, compared with CO2 treatment.

This paper investigates durability of no fine concrete containing demolished concrete as coarse aggregate after crushing to different sizes. Different no fine concrete mixes were considered using Portland cement type I with two types of coarse aggregates, crushed demolished concrete and crushed natural gravel were used with two ratios by weight (1:5 and 1:7) C/Agg. Graded aggregate and single size were used with a maximum size of 20 mm. W /C ratio was kept as 0.4 for all mixes and super-plasticizer was required to keep the same flow and compaction factor value for all mixes. Cube specimens with 150mm were cured and divided to two parts, the first part was exposed to 60 cycles of freezing- thawing; the second part of the sample was immersed in Nitric Acids solution with pH of 3.5 for (7, 28, 90 and 180 days) and then tested for compressive strength. The results indicated that it is possible to produce homogenous and workable mixes by using demolished crushed concrete as coarse aggregate. The compressive strength after cycles of freezing- thawing and immersing in Nitric acid (HNO3) at (7, 28, 90 and 180) days was decreased for samples made with crushed demolished concrete. Also it is found that the performance of concrete mixes containing graded coarse aggregate and 1:5 cement/aggregate ratios was better than other mixes.

Utilization of recycled concrete waste as an alternative to natural coarse aggregates in this experiment is in accordance with the concept of sustainable construction, with the self compacting concrete method. The concept of making test specimens is in accordance with real conditions in the field, where aggregates do not go through a cleaning process. Reinforcement of concrete elements using fibers that have been axially loaded has been widely implemented both as a fully wrapped and partially wrapped. There are three variants of mix design with an average compressive strength of 28 days required of 24, 28 and 32 MPa, respectively. There are three variants of CFRP as restraints on concrete cylinders, respectively 50, 75 and 100%. This experimental test shows that the SCC-RCA concept using ACI 211.1 meets the requirements. The effect of CFRP restraint on the compressive strength of SCC-RCA concrete restrained by one layer of CFRP produces the following equation fcc '= fc' + 3,7fl.

Utilization of recycled concrete waste as an alternative to natural coarse aggregates in this experiment is in accordance with the concept of sustainable construction. Concrete is the main material of structural elements most commonly used in general construction and has properties that are difficult to recycle by themselves naturally. Nowdays concrete innovation with the concept of self compacting (SCC) is widely used especially in high rise building and buildings with special specification. SCC has high flowability properties so that it can flow and compact themselves, but in SCC with normal quality still need compactor. The concept of making test specimens is in accordance with real conditions in the field, where aggregates do not go through a cleaning process. There are four different mix design with the required specified compressive strength of 20 MPa. Mix design 1A (natural coarse) and 1B (recycled coarse aggregates) has a maximum aggregate size 12.50 mm, and mix design 2A (natural coarse) and 2B (recycled coarse aggregates) has a maximum aggregate size 19.00 mm. This experimental results in specified compressive strength concrete for mix design 1A, 1B, 2A, and 2B as follows: 30.93 MPa, 26.21 MPa, 30.82 MPa and 27.60 MPa. Therefore, recycled concrete aggregates can be alternative to natural coarse aggregates and can also be made into concrete with the SCC concept.

The Relationship

Demolition waste increasing day by day. The old damaged building materials can be used in present buildings or other construction works. Especially the recycled aggregates are useful to the concrete structures. The experimental studies on the use of recycled coarse aggregate has been going on for many countries. This publication focuses on the relationship between the shear capacity and the flexural cracking load of reinforced recycled concrete beams with stirrups, this experimental Inspection with partial replacement of natural coarse aggregates (NAC) with recycled coarse aggregates (RAC) at different ages as 10, 20 and 30 years in various proportions as 20 per cent, 30 per cent, 40 per cent. For this, M30 grade of concrete is consider. Curing of specimens were done for 7 day and 28 days to conclude the maximum strengths. The obtained results of concrete with partial replacement of recycled aggregates of 10,20and 30 years age group conclude maximum compressive strength of 35.84 N/mm2 at 40% replacement of NCA with RCA of age group (10 years) and 34.12 N/mm2 at 30% replacement of NCA whit RCA of (20 years) age group and 36.14 N/mm2 20% replacement of NCA with RCA of age group (30 years). After the compressive strength, beam specimens were casted for 7day and 28 days. Based on test results of 8 beams, the relationship between the cracking load that causes a beam to crack in the middle of the shear span and the beam's shear capacity is confident. All beams are reinforced in the longitudinal direction only and only tested under two-point loading conditions. The average analytical cracking load ratio is 0.60.the mid-shear span at cracking load (Vcr-a/2) in comparison with the observed shear capacity (Vexp). The analytical cracking load ratio. The analytical cracking’s load was used in this exploration as it is more reliable than the observed cracking load. At mid-span, the shear capacity of most of the beams was shown to be 50%. The average shear capacity ratio to the related test crack load in the center of the shear span 0.43. The analysis showed that cracking loads are strongly related to the shear capacity of the members. This relationship can be used to develop recycled reinforced beam members ' shear design process.

The compressive strength of recycled concrete with coarse aggregates with and without fly ash was studied in this paper. The recycled concrete was designed to have a compressive strength of Rn=15Mpa. The ratio of conventional aggregates and recycled coarse aggregates was 50-50. Fifteen samples for each recycled concrete aggregate had been cast and were tested 7, 14, and 28 days after curing. The experimental results indicate that the strength development of the two recycled concrete mixes is relatively uniform. Fly ash increased the compressive strength of recycled concrete by 11% for 7-day aged samples. The recycled concrete with fly ash had 7% less compressive strength than the concrete consisting of natural aggregates.

In recent years, because of rising consciousness on environmental protection and the lacking of construction waste dumping yards, recycling of construction wastes has been promoted extensively. The purpose of this study is to ascertain the effect on properties of the fresh and harden concrete replacing coarse aggregates by construction wastes under ambient and enhanced temperatures exposure. This research mainly concentrates on high performance recycled concrete (HPRC); by adding different amount of superplasticizer into the HPRC and to test and compare its mechanical and thermal properties with general high performance concrete (HPC). Thereafter, tests are carried out determine its compressive strength, residual strength after high temperature and the loss on ignition of the HPRC mixed with two water-to-cement ratios and different replacement proportions of recycled aggregates. Similar tests, such as the slump test and slump flow test, are carried out both on the HPRC and HPC. When the water-to-cement ratio is 0.3 and the amount of superplasticizer added is 1.2%, HPRC has the best performance. The specimens with 100% recycled aggregates were 31% below the control concrete sample in compressive strength at age of 28 days. By the way of adding admixture, the recycled concrete could reach the demand strength of the HPC. The results show that it is feasible to allow a higher replacement percentage of construction wastes for producing concrete products.

This paper discusses the effects of recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) on compressive strength and permeability of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) by using recycled concrete aggregates as a replacement of natural coarse aggregates (NCA). Four replacement percentages were used to study the effect of replacement. Replacement percentages used were 30%, 50%, 70% and 100% with 0% replacement was used as control. Mix design of 1:1.24:2.6 was used in the study with water to cement ratio of 0.43. Influence of RCA on compressive strength was determined for all the mixes as per ASTM C39 standard. The permeability of all the mixes was determined by measuring absorption, sorptivity and Darcy’s coefficient. Results of compressive strength indicated that concrete with 30% replacement of NCA can be successfully used in structural concrete without compromising too much on strength. Whereas, the replacement of natural aggregates with RCA has a negative impact on the permeability of concrete at all replacement levels. Absorption, sorptivity and permeability of natural aggregate concrete is lower as compared to RAC with 30% replacement showing the better performance as compared to other replacement ratios.
