Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the effect of RCP from a precast concrete plant on rheological and mechanical properties of cementitious pastes. In the study, Portland cement was replaced by RCP in 10, 20, and 30% (in mass). The hydration kinects of cement with RCP was studied through isothermal calorimetry. The fresh properties were assessed using mini-slump test and rotational rheometry. The mechanical properties were evaluated through compression tests and the microstruture was studied using Scanning Electron Microscopy. RCP reduces fluidity of the pastes, by increasing both yield stress and plastic viscosity. The addition of RCP accelerates the hydration of cement, while reducing the released heat. RCP also reduces the compressive strength and elastic modulus of the pastes. The use of RCP as partial substitute for cement is viable, due to its size distribution and specific surface area.
期刊介绍:
Materiales de Construcción is a quarterly, scientific Journal published in English, intended for researchers, plant technicians and other professionals engaged in the area of Construction, Materials Science and Technology. Scientific articles focus mainly on:
- Physics and chemistry of the formation of cement and other binders.
- Cement and concrete. Components (aggregate, admixtures, additions and similar). Behaviour and properties.
- Durability and corrosion of other construction materials.
- Restoration and conservation of the materials in heritage monuments.
- Weathering and the deterioration of construction materials.
- Use of industrial waste and by-products in construction.
- Manufacture and properties of other construction materials, such as: gypsum/plaster, lime%2
