Effect of Design Parameters on Compressive and Split Tensile Strength of Self-Compacting Concrete with Recycled Aggregate: An Overview

Abstract

One of the prime objectives of this review is to understand the role of design parameters on the mechanical properties (Compressive and split tensile strength) of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) with recycled aggregates (Recycled Coarse Aggregates (RCA) and Recycled Fine Aggregates (RFA)). The design parameters considered for review are Water to Cement (W/C) ratio, Water to Binder (W/B) ratio, Total Aggregates to Cement (TA/C) ratio, Fine Aggregate to Coarse Aggregate (FA/CA) ratio, Water to Solid (W/S) ratio in percentage, superplasticizer (SP) content (kg/cu.m), replacement percentage of RCA, and replacement percentage of RFA. It is observed that with respect to different grades of SCC, designed parameters affect the mechanical properties of SCC with recycled aggregates.

A Study on the Prediction of Compressive Strength of Self-Compacting Recycled Aggregate Concrete Utilizing Novel Computational Approaches

“…The construction sector in the European Union has experienced an exponential expansion in recent decades, and because of this growth, DCW output has increased. With the building sector’s rapid growth, the demolition rates are growing daily, necessitating the effective reuse of DCW [ 12 , 13 , 14 ]. Fine aggregates (sand) and coarse aggregates (stone) make up most of the concrete, accounting for roughly 75% of the overall volume [ 15 , 16 ].…”

Physicomechanical Behavior of High-Performance Concrete Reinforced with Recycled Steel Fibers from Twisted Cables in the Brittle State—Experimentation and Statistics

“…This improvement can be attributed to the reinforcing effect of steel fibers, which fortify the concrete and enhance its resistance to fracture when it is subjected to pressure. According to Jagadesh et al [81], increasing the amount of binder in concrete involves increasing the proportion of cementitious material in the mixture, which hinders the formation of hydration products. Hydration is a chemical reaction that occurs between water and cement particles, resulting in the formation of calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) gel, which contributes to strength development.…”

Innovative approach for the protection of recycled concrete by biogenic silica biodeposition

“…Other considerations also include the generation of CO 2 emissions and the waste produced in its manufacture [5], all of which contribute to making the concrete industry a significant source of environmental pollution [6]. In this context, recent studies [7][8][9][10], have supported the use of recycled aggregates (RAs) in concrete manufacturing. Nevertheless, the use of RAs is limited, because these materials can reduce the mechanical properties and durability of concrete compared to that made conventionally [11].…”
