recycled concrete aggregates, compressive strength, abrasion resistance, chloride ion penetrationAbstract
This study examines the effect of the original strength of RCA recycled concrete aggregates and the level of coarse aggregate substitution to the mechanical properties and durability of concrete. Using RCA from 2 sources: 1RCA with a compressive strength of 20-25 N/mm2 and 2RCA with compressive strength of 40-45 N/mm2. Concrete was evaluated compressive strength BS EN 12390, abrasion resistance ASTM C 944 and chloride ion penetration ASTM C 1202. The test results showed that the mortar texture adhering to the RCA aggregate surface caused high porosity and water absorption. The compressive strength of 2RCA concrete provides a compressive strength value higher than 1RCA by 1-7%, indicating the influence of the quality of the recycled concrete at the source. Under a constant water-cement ratio. Compression tends to increase as RCA substitution levels increase. Abrasion resistance is better when RCA is used. Concrete based on 2RCA provides a loss value due to abrasion that is 5-27% lower than 1RCA. Chloride ion penetration resistance performs better according to RCA substitution levels and is in the moderate to low range. All studies show that the performance of RCA-based concrete is determined by the quality of the source concrete and the level of substitution. At least 50% of the concrete aggregates can be recycled without adversely affecting compressive strength, abrasion resistance, and chloride ion penetration.
