Abstract
The utilization of recycled aggregate can significantly mitigate the extraction of natural sand and gravel. However, the practical application of recycled aggregate in engineering is impeded by its inherent characteristics, encompassing high water absorption, high crushing, and low apparent density. This study employed a soaking and air-drying method to enhance the strength of three types of aggregates with varying initial strengths by utilizing permeated crystalline materials. The durability of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) was studied with three different aggregate replacement rates (0%, 50%, and 100%). The test results demonstrate that the slump, compressive strength, freeze resistance, and carbonation resistance of RAC exhibit a decreasing trend as the aggregate replacement rate increases. The freeze resistance and carbonation resistance of RAC are notably enhanced after incorporating permeated crystalline material. This study contributes to a sustainable and efficient solution for the treatment of construction waste, thereby enhancing the utilization rate of recycled concrete.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
