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%.

The influence of recycled aggregates on the frost resistance of concrete was studied by rapid freezing-thawing test. Results showed that there was an important effect of aggregate gradation on frost resistance of recycled coarse aggregate concrete. Frost resistance of recycled fine aggregate concrete was deteriorated with increasing the content of recycled fine aggregate, and recycled fine aggregate had a greater influence on the frost resistance of recycled aggregate concrete than recycled coarse aggregate when adding both together. Test showed that the mass loss rate and the relative dynamic elastic modulus loss are not consistent as evaluation indexes of the frost resistance for recycled concrete, and whether the mass loss rate is suitable as an indicator of frost resistance durability needs to be further studied.

The complete stress-strain curves of recycled aggregate concrete with different recycled coarse aggregate replacement percentages were tested and investigated. An analysis was made of the influence of varying recycled coarse aggregate contents on the complete stress-strain curve, peak stress, peak strain and elastic modulus etc. The elastic modulus of RC is lower than natural concrete (NC), and with the recycled coarse aggregate contents increase, it reduces. While with the increase of water-cement ratio (W/C), recycled concrete compressive strength and elastic modulus improve significantly. In addition, put forward a new equation on the relationship between Ec and fcu of the RC.

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.

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.

24 100mm × 100mm × 300mm recycled concrete prisms and 96 150mm × 150mm × 150mm cubes are completed in this paper.The relationships of the carbonation depth in each carbonation age with replacement rate of recycled coarse aggregate and fly ash is studied; The SEM is used to observe the interface structure of recycled coarse aggregate concrete and compared with ordinary concrete, and finally,a recycled concrete carbonation model is proposed. The results showed that: the substitution of recycled coarse aggregate and fly ash cut down the recycled concrete carbonation resistance significantly, which are related with the replacement rate; the content of Ca(OH)2 in the recycled aggregate concrete decreased ,also there are obvious interface transition zone between the recycled coarse aggregate and the new cement;obvious cracks and large voids are exist before the recycled aggregate concrete is loaded, which lead directly to lower carbonation resistance of the recycled concrete.

The basic characteristics of recycled coarse aggregate are completely tested. Crushed the waste concrete through artificial crushing, configured recycled concrete by reference to the mix proportion of ordinary concrete . Through experiments, recycled concrete and ordinary concrete basic properties were tested, the performance of recycled concrete with different coarse aggregate were compared, calculated the strength and amount of mold of recycled concrete; results showed that the basic properties of recycled coarse aggregate and natural aggregate existed certain differences. compared to the pebble-based recycled aggregate concrete strength can reach ordinary concrete strength, and when the new coarse aggregate and recycled coarse aggregate were the half, the strength of concrete was not high, the stress - strain curve and the ordinary concrete stress - strain curves were similar, destructive phenomenons of test cubes were close with ordinary concrete .

The eccentric compressive behavior of 18 recycled aggregate concrete columns after freezing and thawing cycles were investigated. The effect of the number of freezing and thawing cycles, the replacement ratio of recycled coarse aggregate, and the eccentricity of axial loading on the eccentric compressive behavior of columns was analyzed. The results show that the strain distribution along the depth of cross section of columns was plane during the eccentric compression test after freezing and thawing cycles. With the increase in the freezing and thawing cycles and the replacement ratio of recycled coarse aggregate, the failure modes of partial specimens turned from ductile tension failure to brittle compression failure. Two existing design methods for calculating the bearing capacity of conventional concrete columns subjected to eccentric compressive loading were verified to be effective for evaluating that of recycled aggregate concrete columns after limited freezing and thawing cycles.

In this paper shucking technique is developed to improve the performance of recycled coarse aggregate concrete. Comparison test has been done to demonstrate the good performance of shucking recycled coarse aggregate concrete than that of common recycled concrete. Simultaneously recycled fine aggregate concrete and recycled finely grinded admixture are extracted and studied too. Results show that this new technique can not only improve the performance of recycled material and enlarge recycled material type, but also make waste concrete to be reused completely.
