It is an urgent problem that the construction solid waste is difficult to be treated, and its recycling provides a way for its treatment. The quality of construction solid waste recycled aggregate is lower than that of natural aggregate, which limits its extensive application in building materials. In order to provide a new method for engineering application of recycled aggregate concrete, the influence of vibration mixing on the performances of full replacement recycled aggregate concrete were studied. The performance indexes of recycled aggregate concrete under ordinary mixing and vibration mixing were compared and analyzed. The experimental results show that compared with natural aggregate concrete, the slump of full replacement recycled aggregate concrete decreased by 58.8%, and 7d and 28d compressive strength decreased by 12.9% and 16.1%, and the splitting strength decreased by 30.6% and 20.1%, and the carbonation depth decreased by 91.5%; Compared with natural aggregate concrete using ordinary mixing, the slump of full replacement recycled aggregate concrete using vibration mixing decreased by 50.9%, the 7d and 28d compressive strength decreased by 6.9% and 10.9%, and the splitting strength decreased by 16.9% and 12.4%, and the 28d carbonation depth decreased by 34.9%. The results show that compared with ordinary mixing, vibration mixing can improve the performance of recycled aggregate concrete, which provides a reference for engineering application.

The increasing demand, diminishing supplies, and growing pressure on natural resources have necessitated recycling and reusing waste. Several kinds of research have been done on the reuse and recycling of debris from building projects. Thus, with a view to the reuse of waste materials, the elimination of environmental contamination, the reduction of overhead costs of concrete, and the extension of the service life of concrete structures, this research aimed to study the feasibility of utilizing recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) with constant inclusion of waste steel fibre (LWSF) in concrete by evaluating its workability, compressive and splitting tensile strengths. A concrete mix ratio of 1:2:4 by weight of cement, sand, and granite was adopted with a water-cement ratio of 0.45. Five different concrete mixes were prepared in this study; one normal aggregate concrete (NAC) and four (4) other mixes with 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% recycled aggregate content with a constant 1.5% addition of LWSF. The result of workability shows a reduction with an increase in the percentage replacement level. The recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) was characterized by lower compressive strength as compared with the NAC. When the replacement ratio increased from 25% to 50%, a significant reduction of about 14% and 30% were observed in the compressive strength at 7-days, but at 28-days slight increase in the compressive strength was observed. Also, a decrease in splitting tensile strength as the percentage replacement of crushed granite (CG) with RCA is increased was observed. Overall, the findings showed that the RAC-containing LWSF is environmentally sustainable and would significantly reduce the global greenhouse impact and building materials' overall quality.

Today, efforts are underway in a number of areas to conserve the environment and protect natural resource. In the construction industry, many researchers have studied the development of new concrete using recycled aggregate (RA). This research proposes a multiple regression model (MRM) for predicting the compressive strength of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). The compressive strength data of 85 specimens of RAC strengths were used for constructing and evaluating the prediction model. The average error rate of the constructed MRM evaluation is 7.18 percent. This result will be useful for predicting the compressive strength of RAC using multiple regression analysis.

At present, many modification methods have been proposed to improve the performance of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). In this study, tests on the compressive strength and damping properties of modified RAC with the addition of different proportions of recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) (0, 50, 100%), rubber powder (10, 15, 20%), steel fibre (5, 7.5, 10%) and fly ash (15, 20, 5%) are carried out. To elucidate the effect of the modification method on the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) performance of RAC, model ITZ specimens are used for push-out tests. The results show that when the replacement rate of RCA reaches 100%, the loss factor of the RAC is 6.0% higher than that of natural aggregate concrete; however, the compressive strength of the RAC decreases by 22.6%. With the addition of 20% rubber powder, the damping capacity of the modified RAC increases by 213.7%, while the compressive strength of the modified RAC decreases by 47.5%. However, with the addition of steel fibre and fly ash, both the compressive strength and loss factor of the RAC specimens increase. With a steel fibre content of 10 wt%, the compressive strength and loss factor of the RAC increase by 21.9% and 15.2%, respectively. With a fly ash content of 25 wt%, the compressive strength and loss factor of the RAC increase by 8.6% and 6.9%, respectively. This demonstrates that steel fibre and fly ash are effective in improving both the damping properties and compressive strength of RAC, and steel fibre is more effective than fly ash. Two methods were used for modification of the RAC: reinforcing the RCA through impregnation with a 0.5% polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) emulsion and nano-SiO 2 solution, and strengthening the RAC integrally through the addition of fly ash as an admixture. Both of these techniques can improve the ITZ bond strength between the RAC and new mortar. Replacing 10% of the cement with fly ash in the new mortar is shown to be the best method to improve the ITZ strength.

The developments of recycled aggregate concrete pressing hard in construction activities; however, the limitations on their applications had never being ended. The focus of this paper is: i) investigating the waste management strategy in construction; ii) proposing the two-stage mixing approach (TSMA) to improve the quality of RAC; and iii) experimenting the TSMA and assessing the benefits possibly gained. It proposes a new approach in mixing concrete, namely, the two-stage mixing method, to improve compressive strength of RAC and lower its strength variability. The replacement ratio from zero to thirty is under experiment on their compressive strength. Based upon the experimental results, improvements of 31 % in strength at 28 days with 30 % RA substitute was achieved. The effect can be attributably to the porous nature of the RA and the pre-mix process which can make some pores filled up resulting in a denser concrete and thus leading to higher strength when compared with the traditional mixing approach. Therefore, two-stage mixing approach can open up a wider application of recycled aggregate concrete.
