Research on the Influencing Factors and Measurements of Freeze-thawing Resistance of Recycled Concrete

Abstract

With the introduction of green building, solid waste utilization has become a key research focus in civil engineering. Recycled concrete technology plays a crucial role in the sustainable development of the concrete industry. However, its durability in cold regions remains a pressing challenge for engineers. This paper reviews domestic and international studies to summarize the performance and degradation mechanisms of recycled concrete under freeze-thaw cycles, focusing on four factors: recycled aggregate proportion, freeze-thaw cycle conditions, water-to-cement ratio, and admixtures. Evaluation systems for frost resistance of recycled concrete are also summarized. Finally, improvement measures for enhancing the frost resistance of recycled concrete are proposed, providing a theoretical basis for further research and engineering applications in this field.
