Abstract
To investigate the mechanical properties of recycled aggregate concrete containing brick particles(RACB), compressive strength tests were conducted on RACBs with different water cement ratios and recycled fine aggregate substitution rates. The changes in compressive strength, elastic modulus, and peak strain of RACB with recycled fine aggregate substitution rates were analyzed, and a stress–strain equation was established. A damage model was established using ultrasonic nondestructive testing technology to reveal the damage mechanism of RACB. Results show that the basic mechanical properties of RACB reach the best when the replacement rate of recycled fine aggregate (r) is 30%. The model parameter a of the stress–strain curve equation is consistent with the change rule of elastic modulus with r. The model parameter b has a quadratic function relationship with r, reflecting the brittleness of RACB. The initial damage of RACB is relatively large, and the cracks penetrate the recycled coarse aggregate, and lead to specimen failure.
期刊介绍:
For concrete and other cementitious derivatives to be developed further, we need to understand the use of alternative hydraulically active materials used in combination with plain Portland Cement, sustainability and durability issues. Both fundamental and best practice issues need to be addressed.
Magazine of Concrete Research covers every aspect of concrete manufacture and behaviour from performance and evaluation of constituent materials to mix design, testing, durability, structural analysis and composite construction.
