Total Shrinkage

In this study, the shrinkage performance of recycled aggregate thermal insulation concrete (RATIC) with added glazed hollow beads (GHB) was investigated and a time-dependent shrinkage model was proposed. Two types of recycled fine aggregate (RFA) were used to replace natural fine aggregate in RATIC: RFA from waste concrete (RFA1) and waste clay brick (RFA2). Besides, the mechanical properties and thermal insulation performance of RATIC were also studied. Results showed that the pozzolanic reaction caused by RFA2 effectively improved the mechanical properties of RATIC; 75% was the optimal replacement ratio of RATIC prepared by RFA2. Added RFA decreased the thermal conductivity of thermal insulation concrete (TIC). The total shrinkage strain of RATIC increased with the increase of the replacement ratio of RFA. The 150d total shrinkage of RATIC prepared by RFA1 was 1.46 times that of TIC and the 150d total shrinkage of RATIC prepared by RFA2 was 1.23 times. The addition of GHBs led to the increase of early total shrinkage strain of concrete. Under the combined action of the higher elastic modulus of RFA2 and the pozzolanic components contained in RFA2, the total shrinkage strain of RATIC prepared by RFA2 with the same replacement ratio was smaller than that of RATIC prepared by RFA1. For example, the final total shrinkage strain of RATIC prepared by RFA2 at 100% replacement ratio was about 18.6% less than that of RATIC prepared by RFA1. A time-dependent shrinkage model considering the influence of the elastic modulus of RFA and the addition of GHB on the total shrinkage of RATIC was proposed and validated by the experimental results.

AbstractNowadays, the recycled fine aggregate sourced from construction and demolition waste is not frequently used in manufacturing of epoxy resin coatings. Therefore, the main novelty of the article is to prepare green epoxy resin coatings modified with recycled fine aggregate in a replacement ratio of natural fine aggregate ranged from 20 to 100%. The microstructural properties of the aggregates and epoxy resin were analyzed using micro-computed tomography, scanning electron microscopy and nanoindentation. The macroscopic mechanical properties were examined using pull-off strength tests. The highest improvement of the mechanical properties was observed for epoxy resin coatings modified with 20% of natural fine aggregate and 80% of recycled fine aggregate. It has been found that even 100% of natural fine aggregate can be successfully replaced using the recycled fine aggregate with consequent improvement of the pull-off strength of analyzed epoxy resin coatings. In order to confirm the assumptions resulting from the conducted research, an original analytical and numerical failure model proved the superior behavior of modified coating was developed.

Mechanical Characters

In this article, the basic mechanical characters of recycled fine aggregate concrete (RFAC) are studied, and the relationships of recycled fine aggregate (RFA) content, minimum particle size and water content with them are also discussed according to results of cubic compressive strength （f¬¬cu）, flexural strength （ff）, splitting tensile strength（fts）, axial compressive strength（fc）and Yang’s modulus （Ec）. The results indicate that the use of RFA will induce mechanical properties of RFAC to deteriorate, and the deteriorated trend of it become more obviously with RFA content increased and minimum particle size reduced, in addition to, the early compressive strength of RFA develop slowly. The RFAC elastic modulus is significantly lower than ordinary concrete, besides, RFA on elastic modulus was significantly affected than other mechanical properties.

This study deals with determination of the properties of the fine recycled aggregate (FRA) concrete with partial replacement of natural sand in concrete mixtures. The FRA was obtained from concrete waste and crushed on fraction 0 – 4 mm by laboratory jaw crusher. The geometrical and physical properties of natural sand and the FRA were tested. The main goal of this study is evaluation of the basic physical and mechanical properties of the concrete with partial natural sand replacement by the FRA such as workability, water absorption capacity, compressive strength and flexural strength. A total four concrete mixtures were prepared. The first concrete mixture was prepared only with natural sand, did not include the FRA. In other concrete mixtures, natural sand was replaced by the FRA in various replacement ratios (40 %, 50 %, and 60 %). All concrete mixtures were designated with the same parameters for clear comparison. The workability of fresh concrete mixtures and physical and mechanical properties of hardened concrete were tested.

The validity of the wet-sieving concrete technique for building the reinforced composite concrete wall are demonstrated in the paper. The fine aggregate concrete made by ordinary concrete passing the sieve with square mash of 15 mm was cast for the surface layer, the recomposed concrete mixed by the residual concrete stayed on the sieve with the ordinary concrete was cast for the reinforced concrete structural wall. The mechanical properties such as the cubic and compressive strengths, the elastic modulus and the splitting and flexural tensile strengths of the fine aggregate concrete, the recomposed concrete and the ordinary concrete were tested and analyzed. The results show that the elastic modulus and splitting tensile strength of fine aggregate concrete reduce in some extent compared with that of ordinary concrete, the mechanical properties of recomposed concrete are almost the same as that of ordinary concrete.

Extensive studies have been performed on the mechanical and durability properties of the concrete prepared with recycled coarse aggregates (RCA), however, only modest consideration has been given to the studies on the behaviour of RAC prepared by alternative mixing approach techniques. This study presents the mechanical properties of the recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) with different percentages of RCA prepared by normal mixing approach (NMA), two-stage mixing approach (TSMA) and sand enveloped mixing approach (SEMA) techniques. The manufactured concrete mixtures were tested for compression, tension, flexure and elastic modulus at 7, 28 and 90 days. The results indicate that the mechanical properties of the RAC (with 100% of RCA) prepared through TSMA and SEMA were improved by 9.36 and 12.14% at 28 days. Perhaps, prolonged curing to TSMA and SEMA mixtures improved the mechanical properties of the RAC that is nearly equal to normal aggregate concrete (NAC) prepared by NMA.

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.

This paper addresses durability and shrinkage performance of the self-compacting concretes (SCCs) in which natural coarse aggregate (NCA) and/or natural fine aggregate (NFA) were replaced by recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) and/or recycled fine aggregate (RFA), respectively. A total of 16 SCCs were produced and classified into four series, each of which included four mixes designed with two water to binder (w/b) ratios of 0.3 and 0.43 and two silica fume replacement levels of 0 and 10%. Durability properties of SCCs were tested for rapid chloride penetration, water sorptivity, gas permeability, and water permeability at 56 days. Also, drying shrinkage accompanied by the water loss and restrained shrinkage of SCCs were monitored over 56 days of drying period. Test results revealed that incorporating recycled coarse and/or fine aggregates aggravated the durability properties of SCCs tested in this study. The drying shrinkage and restrained shrinkage cracking of recycled aggregate (RA) concretes had significantly poorer performance than natural aggregate (NA) concretes. The time of cracking greatly prolonged as the RAs were used along with the increase in water/binder ratio.
