Recently recycled coarse aggregate concrete tends to be developed by using waste concrete considering environmental issues and conserving natural resources. However, performances of recycled coarse aggregate concrete are relative low compared with ordinary concrete due to the differences between recycled coarse aggregates and natural ones. In this research, developed mill is used to shuck the cement paste adhering on the surface of coarse aggregates to obtain shucking recycled coarse aggregates. Experimental results demonstrate that the performances of shucking recycled aggregates and concerned concrete are both improved.

The properties of recycled coarsee aggregates from repeatedly recycling waste concrete were determined. In this study, five series of concrete mixtures using coarse and fine natural aggregates were prepared, which have the same objective slump value from 35mm to 50mm and different compressive strengths ranging from 25MPa to 60 MPa. These five concretes were crushed, sieved, washed with water, hot treatmented at 300°C before they were used as recycled aggregates. After that, recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) was produced with an objectively compressive strength of 30MPa, in which the recycled coarse aggregate was used as 30%, 70% and 90% replacements of natural coarse aggregate and recycled fine aggregate as 10%, 20%, and 30% replacements of natural fine aggregate. After that, these recycled concretes were used as second recycled aggregates to produce RAC with the same objectively compressive strength of 30MPa. The physical properties of coarse aggregates including apparent density, water absorption, attached mortar content and crushing value were tested and their mineral characteristics were analyzed. The results showed that the quality of recycled coarse aggregates from twicely recycling waste concrete reached the requirements from structural concrete.

Recently reutilization of waste concrete becomes one of the hottest issues in civil engineering field throughout the world. However, most of the concerned research focuses on the RCA (recycled coarse aggregate) by simply crushing waste concrete. In this paper shucking technique is developed to secondary process the simply crushing waste concrete for improving the performance of RCA concrete. Test has been done to demonstrate that performances such as strength, elastic modulus et al. of shucking RCA concrete is better than those of common recycled concrete. Simultaneously, beam specimens are made to test the flexural behavior of shucking RCA concrete. Results showed that the deflection of shucking RCA concrete beam is approximately same with that of natural coarse aggregate concrete beam, which solves current problem that recycled aggregate concrete beam has bigger deflection than common concrete beam. The new shucking technique developed in this paper has many advantages to be applied in practical engineering and it has obvious economic benefits and social effect.

Construction is the one the fast growing field in the worldwide. There are many environmental issues connected with the manufacture of OPC, at the same time availability of natural coarse aggregate is getting reduced. Geopolymer binder and recycled aggregates are promising alternatives for OPC and natural coarse aggregates. It is produced by the chemical action of inorganic molecules and made up of Fly Ash, GGBS, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate and an alkaline solution of sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate. 10 M sodium hydroxide and sodium silicate alkali activators are used to synthesis the geopolymer in this study. Recycled aggregates are obtained from the construction demolished waste. The main focus of this work is to find out the mechanical properties of geopolymer concrete of grade G40 when natural coarse aggregate(NCA) is replaced by recycled coarse aggregate in various proportions such as 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%,40% and 50% and also to compare the results of geopolymer concrete made with recycled coarse aggregates(RAGPC) with geopolymer concrete of natural coarse aggregate(GPC) and controlled concrete manufactured with recycled aggregates(RAC) and controlled concrete of natural coarse aggregates(CC) of respective grade. It has been observed that the mechanical properties are enhanced in geopolymer concrete, both in natural coarse aggregate and recycled coarse aggregate up to 30% replacement when it is compared with the same grade of controlled concrete.

Recycled aggregates (RA) are obtained from construction and demolished waste, laboratory crushed concrete and concrete waste at RMC plants. The concrete made from recycled aggregate is known as recycled aggregate concrete. The use of recycled aggregate is very beneficial to the environment in civil works. Its usage also helps in financial saving as the cost of transportation and production energy cost of natural coarse aggregate (NCA) is reduced. In India, the recycled aggregate application in lower grade concrete work is observed. However, the effect of recycled aggregate on the strength and durability of concrete restricts its use in higher-grade work. This paper presents a series of tests carried out on recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) and recycled coarse aggregate concrete (RCAC) and test results are compared with the NCA and parent concrete made from NCA. Tests were carried out as per IS code and concrete was prepared using a two-stage mixing approach in the concrete mix design. M30 concrete mix of four RCAC samples was tested at 28 days of curing and in comparison with parent concrete, it is found that on an average compressive strength is decreased by 12.89% at 28 days curing. Adhered mortar increases the porosity of the recycled aggregate and forms a weak zone between aggregate surface and mortar. In addition, test results showed the defects in recycled aggregate and helped to identify the area where concentration is necessary to improve the quality of recycled aggregate using six sigma DMAIC methodology. Total of 12 defects were found in the process and raw material. Statistical analysis was used to evaluate the performance of all the mix made with RCA.

Recycled Coarse Aggregate

National effort to recycle construction waste as structural concrete usage of high economic value is ongoing, but performance rate of recycling is a low-level due to a lack of awareness on the recycled aggregates. Accordingly, the goal of this study was to verify the structural applicability of recycled aggregates. This study compared a compressive strength based on the replacement ratio of natural aggregate and recycled aggregate, and analyzed a correlation of wave velocity due to the increase in compressive strength under the same condition. The 『design standard strength – replacement ratio of recycled coarse aggregate』 was set to total 12 combinations by applying 0, 30, 50, 100[%] replacement ratio of recycled coarse aggregate to 21, 27, 35[MPa] to the design standard strength. During the experiment of fracture strength, strength degradation due to the replacement rate of recycled coarse aggregate did not occur, and it was found that the wave velocity also increased along with an increase in strength due to the age of recycled coarse aggregate concrete.

A large amount of waste concrete generates an environmental problem due to demolition of old concrete structures. To solve this problem, it is necessary to collect recycled aggregate from waste concrete. The conventional recycling technique of recycled aggregate from waste concrete does not indicate a significant quality to be re-used for making a new concrete. We proposed new techniques to produce high grade recycled aggregate by heating-grinding (H-G) method and heating-grinding-acid (H-G-A) method. To ensure the quality of the concrete made from recycled coarse aggregate concrete, the non-destructive evaluation was conducted in this research. High grade recycled aggregate concrete were prepared in advanced using two methods mentioned earlier. Then, new concrete specimens were produced using those types of recycled aggregate concrete. After 28 days curing time, rebound hammer test and ultrasonic pulse velocity test were performed on recycled coarse aggregate concrete to examine the surface hardness and ultrasonic wave velocity of the concrete. Almost similar quality to natural coarse aggregate in terms of density, water absorption, sieve analysis achieved by both H-G recycled coarse aggregate and H-G-A recycled coarse aggregate. However, the surface hardness and ultrasonic wave velocity of H-G-A recycled coarse aggregate concrete is better than those of H-G recycled coarse aggregate concrete. That acid solvent enables to dismantle the cement paste from aggregate surface more effectively, so this types of recycled aggregate shows a better performance than the other one. Continued delamination reduces pores in the interfacial transition zone resulting better bonding mechanism between new cement paste and recycled aggregate surface.

This paper presents the analysis of the mechanical and durable properties of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) for using in concrete. The porosity of recycled coarse aggregates is known to influence the fresh and hardened concrete properties and these properties are related to the specific mass of the recycled coarse aggregates, which directly influences the mechanical properties of the concrete. The recycled aggregates were obtained from construction and demolition wastes (CDW), which were divided into recycled sand (fine) and coarse aggregates. Besides this, a recycled coarse aggregate of a specific mass with a greater density was obtained by mixing the recycled aggregates of the CDW with the recycled aggregates of concrete wastes (CW). The concrete was produced in laboratory by combining three water-cement ratios, the ratios were used in agreement with NBR 6118 for structural concretes, with each recycled coarse aggregates and recycled sand or river sand, and the reference concrete was produced with natural aggregates. It was observed that recycled aggregates can be used in concrete with properties for structural concrete. In general, the use of recycled coarse aggregate in combination with recycled sand did not provide good results; but when the less porous was used, or the recycled coarse aggregate of a specific mass with a greater density, the properties of the concrete showed better results. Some RAC reached bigger strengths than the reference concrete.

Compared with natural aggregate, the content of hardening cement in recycled aggregate is larger, which leads that the water absorption of recycled aggregate is larger and its performance such as robustness is poorer. And the engineering field pays much attention to the problem of the recycled fine aggregate which can be used in the durability requirements of recycled concrete or not. Using the method of fast freezing and thawing the influence of quality and replacement ratio of recycled coarse aggregate on the frost resistance of recycled concrete was researched basing on ordinary concrete frost resistance performance. The results showed that, in terms of the frost resistance capacity, the order is in: ordinary concrete>high-quality recycled coarse aggregate concrete>normal quality recycled coarse aggregate concrete. After 250 freeze-thaw cycles, the mass loss rate of general quality recycled coarse aggregate concrete is 5%, relative dynamic elastic modulus is 60% when replace rate was 100%.
