The strength properties of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) using aggregates from repeatedly recycling concrete waste were studied. The relationships between cube compressive strength and splitting tensile strength and between each strength and replacement ratio of recycled aggregate to natural aggregate were established. The results showed that the strength properties of RAC with the design strength of 30MPa can be satisfied when the quality of recycled coarse and fine aggregates met respectively the needs of Grade II in GB/T25177-2010 and Grade III in GB/T25176-2010, with the replacement ratio to natural coarse aggregate and natural fine aggregate no more than 70% and 50%. Both strengths decreased and then increased for a while before descending again with increasing replacement ratio of recycled coarse aggregate, and decreased continuously with the increase of replacement ratio of recycled fine aggregate. The relationship between cube compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of RAC was found to be exponential function.

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.

Mechanical Strengths

This work aims to study the influence of using construction and demolition waste in the replacement of coarse and fine aggregate to produce recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). A moderate compressive strength concrete made with usual fine and coarse aggregate was used as a benchmark material. Compressive and split tensile tests were performed using 120 cylindrical concrete specimens with 150 mm diameter and 300 mm length. Four-point flexural tests in reinforced beams made with conventional concrete and RAC were performed. The results obtained showed that the use of recycled fine aggregates, in both percentages of substitution investigated—50% and 100%— did not generate any deleterious influence on the values of compressive strength and split tensile strength of the RACs produced. Tin fact, the mechanical strengths of RACs produced with recycled fine aggregate were equal or higher than those from the reference concrete. The same behavior was not observed, however, when the recycled coarse aggregate was used. For this case, decreases in concrete mechanical strengths were observed, especially in compressive strength, with values around 35% lower when compared to the reference concrete. Tensile mechanical tests results confirmed the excellent behavior of all RACs made with replacement of usual fine aggregates by recycled. Bending tests performed in reinforced RAC beams had as objective to evaluate the deformation profile of the beams. The obtained results showed that RAC beams with full replacement of usual fine aggregate by the recycled aggregates have presented little changes in the global behavior, an aspect that encourages its use.

This article aims to study the mechanical properties of concrete containing the recycled and crushed aggregate instead of normal aggregate separately, and reinforced with volumetric ratios equal to (0.25,0.5,0.75,1,1.25 and 1.5)% of plastic fibers, which produced by cutting the plastic water bottles as a partial replacement from volume of coarse aggregate. Preliminary results showed that the compressive strength of recycled aggregate concrete(RAC) increased with increasing the waste plastic fibers (PET) more than the observed values of crushed aggregate concrete(CAC), while the results showed that the splitting tensile strength of concrete samples containing recycled aggregate have a higher splitting tensile strength than those containing the crushed aggregate. On the other hand, it was noted that the increasing in the proportions of PET from (0.25-1) % showed an increase in compressive and splitting tensile strength, but after the ratio of PET used equal to (1% ), it was observed a decreasing in both of compressive and splitting tensile strength.

High performance concretes were tested to find an effect of the three different coarse aggregates (basalt, granite and dolomite) on concrete strength properties. All the results were analyzed statistically. Splitting tensile strength of high performance concrete with dolomite aggregate was significantly higher than that of concretes with basalt and granite aggregate. The effect of dolomite aggregate on compressive strength of HPC was much more advantageous than that of granite aggregate.

Furnace Slag

Most of the steel mills in Bangladesh use induction furnace which produces large quantities of slags that have very little use except land filling. Therefore, feasibility of using this slag is examined in concrete with recycled aggregate, which is another waste product that is generated due to removal of old structures. Concrete with three target strengths, 17.23, 20.68, and 24.13 MPa, was prepared using recycled concrete acquired from a recently demolished building in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Recycled coarse aggregate was replaced with induction furnace slag by 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% for each target strength. Samples prepared from these concretes were tested for workability, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, and durability properties e.g., porosity, absorption, and rapid chloride penetration. Review of test results suggests that workability of concrete was not adversely affected by incorporation of induction furnace slag. For up to 50% of induction furnace slag replacement, both compressive strength and splitting tensile strength increased in recycled aggregate concrete. Further, for all ratios of induction furnace slag replacement, modulus of elasticity increased compared to 100% recycled aggregate concrete. Porosity and absorption also decreased in concrete where up to 50% of recycled aggregate was replaced by induction furnace slag. Considering these, it is concluded that 50% of recycled aggregate can be replaced by induction furnace slag that will result in superior mechanical and durability properties in recycled aggregate concrete.

The aim of this paper was to examine the feasibility of using nanoparticles of SiO2 (nanosilica) to improve the performance of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) containing recycled aggregate (RA) derived from processing construction and demolition waste of concrete buildings. The examined properties include compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, and water absorption. The study also includes examining the microstructure of RA and RAC with and without nanoparticles of SiO2. In total, nine mixes were investigated. Two mixes with RA contents of 50% and 100% were investigated and for each RA content; three mixes were prepared with three different nanoparticles dosages 0.4%, 0.8%, and 1.2% (by mass of cement). A control mix with natural aggregate (NA) was also prepared for comparison reasons. The results show that nanoparticles of silica can improve the compressive strength, tensile strength, reduce the water absorption, and modify the microstructure of RAC.

Numerous research studies have been conducted to improve the weak properties of recycled aggregate as a construction material over the last few decades. In two-stage concrete (TSC), coarse aggregates are placed in formwork, and then grout is injected with high pressure to fill up the voids between the coarse aggregates. In this experimental research, TSC was made with 100% recycled coarse aggregate (RCA). Ten percent and twenty percent bagasse ash was used as a fractional substitution of cement along with the RCA. Conventional concrete with 100% natural coarse aggregate (NCA) and 100% RCA was made to determine compressive strength only. Compressive strength reduction in the TSC was 14.36% when 100% RCA was used. Tensile strength in the TSC decreased when 100% RCA was used. The increase in compressive strength was 8.47% when 20% bagasse ash was used compared to the TSC mix that had 100% RCA. The compressive strength of the TSC at 250 °C was also determined to find the reduction in strength at high temperature. Moreover, the compressive and tensile strength of the TSC that had RCA was improved by the addition of bagasse ash.
