Mechanical Properties and Permeability of Recycled Aggregate Concrete at Low Water/Binder Ratio

Abstract: This paper presents an experimental research on mechanical properties and permeability of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). Concretes at a water/binder ratio of 0.255 were broken into recycled aggregates (RA). A type of thermal treatment was employed to remove mortar in RA. Tests were conducted on aggregate to measure water absorption and crushed values, and on RAC and natural aggregate concrete (NAC) to measure compressive strength, tensile splitting strength, and fracture energy. The results revealed that b… Show more

“…Analysis indicated that the 3rd layer of unmodified RAC specimens of RO had a chloride content slightly higher than the optimum limit specified in BS 8110. This is consistent with those of previous studies [ 1,4,6,14] in which the chloride ion level of the concrete is strongly influenced by its permeability for water absorption and its function of porosity. The air void and the pores structure will increase, thereby decreasing the resistance to chloride penetration.…”

“…The RAC increases with the RCA ratio, according to Evangelista and de Brito [4] and Kou and Poon [5], due to RAC deteriorations due to chloride penetration. Peng et al [6] have reported the reduction in chloride resistance, due mainly to the porosity and high permeability factors of RAC due to the lower performance of RCA compared to the natural aggregate. Gomes and de Brito [2] and Ann et al [1] have confirmed that penetration of chloride is largely dependent on its porosity and permeability.…”

“…Based on the permeability results of the proposed concrete, the authors concluded that recycled aggregates partially replacing fine and coarse aggregates give almost similar properties as conventional concrete. The test results of concrete made with various alternative materials [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17] regarding suitability [18], strength and durability [19], root cause of waste generation [20], sustained loading for 9 and 12 months [21,22], fire resistance at 1000C for 18 and 24 hours [23,24] show the promising effects of recycled aggregates as replacement materials suitable to be used in new concrete. Demolishing waste has also been tested as replacement of fine aggregates.…”
