This study used waste concrete as a recycled coarse aggregate and added an appropriate proportion of groundgranulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS) to formulate recycled concrete. Based on the recycled coarse aggregate and GGBFS content, 24different mixture ratios were formulated, and then an experimental study of the slumpand compressive strength of the mixtures was conducted. The results showed that because slag can improve the physical and mechanical properties and performances of ordinary concreteand can compensate for certain natural deficiencies occurring in recycled coarse aggregate,GGBFS and recycled coarse aggregate can form recycled aggregate green concrete with a slump of 170mm and a 28-day compressive strengthof 50MPa.

Since high quality natural aggregates are becoming scarce, it is important that industrial recycled products and by-products are used as aggregates for concrete. In Japan, the use of recycled aggregate (RG) is encouraged. Since, strength and durability of recycled aggregate concrete is lower than that of normal aggregate concrete, the use of recycled aggregate has not been significant. In order to improve physical properties of concrete using recycled coarse aggregate, blast furnace slag sand has been proposed. Recently, blast furnace slag sand is expected to improve durability, freezing, and thawing damage of concrete in Japan. Properties of fresh and hardened concrete bleeding, compressive strength, and resistance to freezing and thawing which are caused by the rapid freezing and thawing test using liquid nitrogen is a high loader than the JIS A 1148 A method that were investigated. As a result, concrete using treated low-class recycled coarse aggregate and 50% or 30% replacement of crushed sand with blast furnace slag sand showed the best results, in terms of bleeding, resistance to freezing and thawing.

Use of Recycled Coarse Aggregate (RCA) in concrete can be described in terms of environmental protection and economy. This paper deals with the mechanical properties of concrete compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, and modulus of rupture. Three kinds of concrete mixtures were tested, concrete made with Natural Coarse Aggregate (NCA) as a control concrete and two types of concrete made with recycled coarse aggregate (50% and 100% replacement level of coarse recycled aggregate). These kinds of concrete were made with different targets of compressive strength of concrete f ’c (35MPa) and (70 MPa). Fifty specimens were tested of the fresh and hardened properties of concrete. The waste concrete from laboratory test cubes was crushed to produce the Recycled Coarse Aggregate used in recycled concrete. A comparative between the experimental results of the properties for fresh and hardened concrete is presented in the paper. Recycled aggregate concrete (RCA) had a satisfactory performance despite the replacement ratios. It was found using the size of Recycled Coarse Aggregate (RCA) of (5-14) mm has quite similar in performance with the same size of Natural Coarse Aggregate (NCA), it is necessary to use high quality of recycled concrete (with low levels of impurities). Recycled aggregate as an alternative to natural aggregates -seems quite successful.

In conditions of dense urban development and a variety of engineering and geological conditions, the use of concretes with a combined aggregate of a rationally selected composition will solve the existing problem of reducing the mass of reinforced concrete structures of buildings and structures and maintaining the required strength and deformability. In this paper, studies have been carried out on the choice of a rational formulation of lightweight concrete based on expanded clay gravel, natural crushed stone and granulated blast furnace slag by varying the volume content of porous coarse aggregate and the volume content of fine aggregate in relation to the mixture. In total, 9 series of prototypes and 1 series of control samples are manufactured and tested. One series of samples includes three cubes with dimensions of 10x10x10 cm. All samples are tested in terms of density and compressive strength, the coefficient of constructive quality is determined. The results of the study shows that the introduction of expanded clay gravel into the composition of heavy concrete instead of part of the dense coarse aggregate and the replacement of the fine dense aggregate with granular blast furnace slag leads to an increase in the structural quality factor, that is, a decrease in the compressive strength of concrete is compensated for by an even more significant decrease in the density of the material, and means weight reduction. The increase in the coefficient of constructive quality of concrete based on expanded clay gravel, natural crushed stone and granulated blast-furnace slag in comparison with the control composition is 15.6 %.

The paper presents the influence of different curing conditions—wet, dry, and protection against water evaporation (PEV)—on selected properties of concretes with different amounts of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) previously subjected to atmospheric CO2 sequestration. Two types of cement were used, Portland cement and blast-furnace slag cement. The study was performed in laboratory conditions (at the temperature of 20 ± 1 °C and relative humidity of about 60%), according to currently applicable test procedures for most of the measured characteristics of concrete. Additionally, the eco-efficiency indexes (bi and ci) as well as the eco-durability S-CO2 index were calculated. It was found that dry conditions cause the properties of concrete to deteriorate, especially concrete made of blast-furnace slag cement, while PEV allows the achievement of results comparable to wet conditions. Moreover, for series with the highest amounts of coarse recycled aggregate and after longer periods of curing, the difference between the effects of wet curing and protection against water evaporation disappears. The eco-efficiency and eco-durability indexes approach confirms the beneficial effect of blast-furnace slag cement used as a binder, but on the condition of using a proper way of curing.
