Waste Concrete

Fine aggregate can be extracted from waste concrete by series of processing. The recycled fine aggregate can then be utilized to manufacture recycled fine aggregate mortar (RFAM) or recycled fine aggregate concrete (RFAC). Air entraining agent was added in RFAM to improve its mechanical performance. The influence of the dosage of the air entraining agent on both the compressive and flexural strength of the RFAM was explored after 7 days and 28 days curing. The optimum dosage of the air entraining agent was determined.

Recycled Fine Aggregate

This paper presents research results of recycled fine aggregate concrete testing. The main aim of this contribution is verification of properties of fine aggregate concrete with partial replacement of fine natural aggregate by recycled masonry aggregate originated from construction and demolition waste. The influence of partial replacement of natural sand to mechanical properties and freeze-thaw resistance is described. The compressive strength and flexural strength were tested at the age of 28 and 60 days and after 25, 50, 75 and 100 freeze-thaw cycles. Partial replacement of natural sand was 0, 25 and 50 % for all these tests. Prismatic specimens were examined.

Shear Performance

This paper presents a study of shear behaviour of reinforced concrete beams. The major parameters used were type of shear reinforcement, namely stirrups alone, wire mesh alone and combination of both wire mesh and stirrups as shear reinforcement. The replacement of wire mesh was done on the basis of weight with stirrups. The experimental program includes four beams. All the beams were tested using two point loading system. It is evident from the result that the use of wire mesh enhanced improved shear performance and bearing capacity in the examined beams. Beams with wire mesh as shear reinforcement and combination of both wire mesh and stirrups exhibited some amount of increase in shear capacity with respect to the beams with stirrups alone as shear reinforcement. Furthermore beams with wire mesh and combination of wire mesh and stirrups as reinforcement exhibited less number of crack patterns compared beams with stirrups.

Mechanical Characters

In this article, the basic mechanical characters of recycled fine aggregate concrete (RFAC) are studied, and the relationships of recycled fine aggregate (RFA) content, minimum particle size and water content with them are also discussed according to results of cubic compressive strength （f¬¬cu）, flexural strength （ff）, splitting tensile strength（fts）, axial compressive strength（fc）and Yang’s modulus （Ec）. The results indicate that the use of RFA will induce mechanical properties of RFAC to deteriorate, and the deteriorated trend of it become more obviously with RFA content increased and minimum particle size reduced, in addition to, the early compressive strength of RFA develop slowly. The RFAC elastic modulus is significantly lower than ordinary concrete, besides, RFA on elastic modulus was significantly affected than other mechanical properties.

Shear Cracking

On the basis of experimental results, this paper discusses the shear-crack behaviors such as shear-cracking force and shear-crack width of reinforced full-recycled aggregate concrete beams. The full-recycled aggregate concrete was developed for the sustainable development in civil engineering, in which the coarse aggregate was the recycled aggregate made of abandoned concrete, and the fine aggregate was the machine-made sand. Sixteen beams, six of them without stirrups, were tested with the shear-span ratio varying as 1.5, 2.0 and 3.0, and the ratio of stirrups varying from 0.19% to 0.35%. The results showed that the shear-cracking force of the beam was mainly affected by the shear-span ratio, the width of shear-cracks intersecting stirrups decreased with the increasing ratio of stirrups, but the maximum crack width almost exceeded the limit 0.3mm in the first class environmental condition specified in Chinese code GB50010-2010. Comparing the calculation results by substituting the test parameters of full-recycled aggregate concrete beams into the formula of ordinary reinforced concrete beams, the lower resistance of reinforced recycled concrete beam to shear-cracking, and the larger crack width intersecting stirrups should be noted in the structural design. Based on the test data, the formula for calculating the shear-cracking force and the shear-crack width of reinforced full-recycled aggregate concrete beams are suggested.
