Abstract
In the field of green building materials, the development of high-toughness recycled aggregate concrete (HTRAC) is crucial for sustainable construction. This study employs in-situ 4D CT technology to observe the meso-structural changes in HTRAC under uniaxial loading, with a focus on the spatial distribution of pores and fibers, as well as the formation and evolution of cracks. Additionally, digital volume correlation (DVC) is utilized to visually analyze the internal strain environment. The results demonstrate the material's heterogeneity and its localized effects on stress/strain distribution, revealing significant differences in crack morphology and strain distribution between recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) interfaces and fiber regions. The inclusion of microsteel fibers enhances crack resistance and toughness, resulting in an increase of the toughness index by 114 %, effectively dispersing stress and impeding crack propagation, thereby improving the material's overall structural performance. A damage evolution model, derived from strain statistical analysis during the HTRAC failure process, offers theoretical and technical support for the design and application of HTRAC in construction.
期刊介绍:
Construction and Building Materials offers an international platform for sharing innovative and original research and development in the realm of construction and building materials, along with their practical applications in new projects and repair practices. The journal publishes a diverse array of pioneering research and application papers, detailing laboratory investigations and, to a limited extent, numerical analyses or reports on full-scale projects. Multi-part papers are discouraged.
Additionally, Construction and Building Materials features comprehensive case studies and insightful review articles that contribute to new insights in the field. Our focus is on papers related to construction materials, excluding those on structural engineering, geotechnics, and unbound highway layers. Covered materials and technologies encompass cement, concrete reinforcement, bricks and mortars, additives, corrosion technology, ceramics, timber, steel, polymers, glass fibers, recycled materials, bamboo, rammed earth, non-conventional building materials, bituminous materials, and applications in railway materials.
