再生骨料掺配比对再生透水混凝土性能的影响

为研究再生骨料在透水混凝土（RPC）中的应用,选用废弃路面素混凝土块为再生骨料来源,设计2种系列,研究再生骨料透水混凝土中再生骨料掺配问题,即分别以粒径9.5~19.0 mm,再生骨料按0%、25%、50%、75%和100%（基准）质量替代同粒径天然骨料碎石（系列1）和以4.75~9.5 mm、9.5~19.0 mm两种粒径,再生骨料按0∶1、1∶1、1∶2、2∶1、2∶3和3∶2掺比（系列2）制备RPC,并分析其物理、力学、透水性能及其相互关系,得到了合理的再生骨料替代率和双粒级掺比,在1∶1和2∶1掺配下能够得到较好的强度及透水性能。通过切割试块的图像化处理,分析其孔隙分布特征和趋势,并将平面孔隙率、等效孔径和透水系数联系起来。结果表明,再生透水混凝土的透水能力主要取决于截面孔隙个数和面积。     

Effect of recycled coarse aggregate on damage of recycled concrete

This study evaluates the possibility of measuring the damage of the recycled concrete. In this way, two conventional concretes with a w/c ratio of 0.55 and 0.65 were designed. Based on them, six recycled concretes with different percentages of replacement of natural coarse aggregates with recycled coarse aggregate (20, 50 and 100%) were obtained. To take into account the high absorption capacity of the recycled aggregates, before using them they were pre-wetted for 10 min. The results concluded that scalar damage mechanics (based on the variations of the elastic modulus) and volumetric strains curves can be use to quantify the damage of the recycled concrete. The results from both approaches indicated that the damage to concrete depended on the percentage of replacement, increasing with higher replacement percentages. Additionally, values of the damage, that are quantified using the critical stress and according to the scalar damage mechanics, are given.

采用再生粗骨料配制强度在50MPa或更大的高强再生骨料混凝土,并对其变形能力和耐久性进行测定,为高强再生骨料混凝土在工程上的应用提供理论和实验基础。通过一系列的抗压实验确定再生粗骨料的强度极限,并通过对水灰比的调整,使配制的高强再生骨料混凝土在强度上达到设计值,并以再生粗骨料取代率为0、30%、50%、80%和100%的高强再生骨料混凝土为研究对象进行实验。当再生粗骨料取代率为30%时,对再生混凝土的强度影响不大;之后混凝土强度随再生骨料的增加而降低。高强再生骨料混凝土与天然混凝土在耐久性上具有相似的性能,可以将高强再生混凝土应用于工程中。

Effect of carbonation of modeled recycled coarse aggregate on the mechanical properties of modeled recycled aggregate concrete

The modeled recycled aggregate concrete (MRAC) which is an idealized model for the real recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) was used in this study. The MRCAs prepared with two types of old mortars were modified by an accelerated carbonation process. The effects of carbonation of MRCA on the micro-hardness of MRCA and the mechanical properties of MRAC were investigated. The results indicated that the micro-hardness of the old interfacial transition zone (ITZ) and the old mortar in the carbonated MRCAs was higher than that in the uncarbonated MRCAs, and the enhancement of the old ITZ was more significant than that of the old mortar. The compressive strength and modulus of MRACs increased when the carbonated MRCAs were utilized, and the improvement was more significant for MRAC prepared with a higher w/c. In addition, a numerical study was carried out and it showed that the improvement in strength by carbonation treatment was less obvious when the difference between the new and old mortar was larger.

Durability of recycled aggregate concrete prepared with carbonated recycled concrete aggregates

The mechanical properties of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) incorporating carbonated recycled concrete aggregates (RCAs) have previously been reported. However, the durability of RAC prepared with carbonated RCAs remains to be accessed. In this study, the durability properties of RAC prepared with non-carbonated RCAs and carbonated RCAs, in terms of deformation (drying shrinkage), water absorption and permeability (bulk electrical conductivity, gas and chloride ion permeability), are presented. The experimental results indicated that: (i) the incorporation of the carbonated RCAs in RAC not only helped to reduce the water absorption of RAC, but also reduced its permeability; (ii) when 100% carbonated NRCAs was used, the improvement extent of impermeability was 15.1%, 36.4% and 42.4% for bulk electrical conductivity, chloride ion permeability and gas permeability, respectively. Comparing the results of the mechanical and durability properties, the CO₂ curing treatment of RCAs had a greater beneficial impact on the durability properties of the RAC; and (iii) there was a good correlation between the water absorption of RAC and its permeability indicators. The water absorption value of RAC may be used as a criterion of the durability of RAC.     

Creep and drying shrinkage characteristics of concrete produced with coarse recycled concrete aggregate

Laboratory tests are performed to investigate the effects of a new method of mixture proportioning on the creep and shrinkage characteristics of concrete made with recycled concrete aggregate (RCA). In this method, RCA is treated as a two component composite material consisting of residual mortar and natural aggregate; accordingly, when proportioning the concrete mixture, the relative amount and properties of each component are individually considered. The test variables include the mixture proportioning method, and the aggregate type. The results show that the amounts of creep and shrinkage in concretes made with coarse RCA, and proportioned by the new method, are comparable to, or even lower than, those in similar concretes made entirely with natural aggregates. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that by applying the proposed “residual mortar factor” to the existing ACI and CEB methods for calculating creep or shrinkage of conventional concrete, these methods could be also applied to predict the creep and shrinkage of RCA-concrete.     

全再生细骨料的制备及其对混凝土性能影响的试验研究

传统再生细骨料的需水量大、强度低,较难利用。将废弃混凝土全部破碎成细骨料的全再生细骨料技术能够有效提高再生细骨料的性能。在前期研究的基础上,进行了全再生细骨料的制备及其对混凝土性能影响的研究。研究结果表明,全再生细骨料的制备应包括破碎、筛分和整形工艺;全再生细骨料中小于0.075和0.15mm的细粉对其强度性能有利,不宜去除;考虑到其细粉组成包括石粉,其微粉含量限值可较现有标准有所提高。全再生细骨料相对于传统再生细骨料在性能上有很大改善,胶砂需水量小且强度高,以其配制的C30和C50混凝土性能明显优于传统再生细骨料。全再生细骨料的胶砂需水量等性能仍不如机制砂和河砂,但其胶砂强度却高于机制砂和河砂;以其配制的混凝土抗压强度(特别是高水胶比时)明显高于河砂和机制砂混凝土,但工作性能略低。综合来看,全再生细骨料能够全取代河砂和机制砂用于制备C30和C50混凝土。     

Carbonation behaviour of recycled aggregate concrete

This paper reviews the effect of incorporating recycled aggregates, sourced from construction and demolition waste, on the carbonation behaviour of concrete. It identifies various influencing aspects related to the use of recycled aggregates, such as replacement level, size and origin, as well as the influence of curing conditions, use of chemical admixtures and additions, on carbonation over a long period of time. A statistical analysis on the effect of introducing increasing amounts of recycled aggregates on the carbonation depth and coefficient of accelerated carbonation is presented. This paper also presents the use of existing methodologies to estimate the required accelerated carbonation resistance of a reinforced recycled aggregate concrete exposed to natural carbonation conditions with the use of accelerated carbonation tests. Results show clear increasing carbonation depths with increasing replacement levels when recycled aggregate concrete mixes are made with a similar mix design to that of the control natural aggregate concrete. The relationship between the compressive strength and coefficients of accelerated carbonation is similar between the control concrete and the recycled aggregate concrete mixes.     

Use of recycled concrete aggregate in high-strength concrete

The results of a test programme to study the use of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) in high-strength, 50 N/mm² or greater, concrete are described. The effects of coarse RCA content on the ceiling strength, bulk engineering and durability properties of such concretes have been established. The results showed that up to 30% coarse RCA had no effect on concrete strength, but therafter there was a gradual reduction as the RCA content increased. A method of accommodating the effects of high RCA content, involving simple adjustment to water/cement ratio of the mix is given. It is shown that high-strength RCA concrete will have equivalent engineering and durability performance to concrete made with natural aggregates, for corresponding 28-day design strengths. The practical implications of the study for concrete construction are discussed.

Résumé Sont décrits ici les résultats d’une série d’essais destinés à étudier l’utilisation de granulats provenant du recyclage d’éléments en béton (RCA) dans des bétons de haute résistance (50 MPa et plus). Les effets de la teneur en gros granulats recyclés sur la résistance des plafonds et des batiments, ainsi que les propriétés de tels bétons ont été établis. Les résultats ont montré qu’une teneur allant jusqu’à 30% en gros granulats recyclés n’a pas d’effet sur la résistance du béton, mais qu’au dessus de 30%, la résistance diminue progressivement à mesure que la teneur en gros granulats recyclés augmente. Une méthode visant à accommoder les effets dus à une forte proportion de RCA, nécessitant un simple ajustement du rapport eau/ciment dans le mélange, est proposée. Il est prouvé que le béton RCA de haute résistance aura des qualités de résistance et de durabilité équivalentes à celles de bétons constitués de granulats naturels, pour les résistances mécaniques à 28 jours prévues. Les implications pratiques de l’étude sur la réalisation d’ouvrages en béton sont présentées.

     

Assessing relationships among properties of demolished concrete, recycled aggregate and recycled aggregate concrete using regression analysis

Recycled demolished concrete (DC) as recycled aggregate (RA) and recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) is generally suitable for most construction applications. Low-grade applications, including sub-base and roadwork, have been implemented in many countries; however, higher-grade activities are rarely considered. This paper examines relationships among DC characteristics, properties of their RA and strength of their RAC using regression analysis. Ten samples collected from demolition sites are examined. The results show strong correlation among the DC samples, properties of RA and RAC. It should be highlighted that inferior quality of DC will lower the quality of RA and thus their RAC. Prediction of RAC strength is also formulated from the DC characteristics and the RA properties. From that, the RAC performance from DC and RA can be estimated. In addition, RAC design requirements can also be developed at the initial stage of concrete demolition. Recommendations are also given to improve the future concreting practice.     

再生粗骨料硅烷浸渍处理对混凝土介质传输性能的影响

由于残余砂浆的存在,再生粗骨料的物理力学指标远不及天然骨料,致使再生混凝土力学和耐久性能较差;此外,水分及有害离子侵入混凝土内部是引起混凝土材料性能劣化的主要原因。本试验用质量分数为8wt%的硅烷乳液浸渍强化再生粗骨料,通过抗压强度、毛细吸水和抗氯离子侵蚀试验对硅烷浸渍前后不同骨料质量取代率(0%、30%、50%)的再生混凝土介质传输性能进行了研究,最后利用SEM对再生混凝土内部的微观结构进行分析。试验结果表明,硅烷浸渍处理再生粗骨料的吸水率显著降低,由其制备的混凝土强度稍有所下降;再生混凝土毛细累积吸水量明显减少,且抗氯盐侵蚀性能显著提高,其中骨料质量取代率为50%的再生混凝土浸渍处理后氯离子扩散系数降低了37.5%。研究表明,硅烷浸渍处理再生粗骨料是提高再生混凝土耐久性的有效途径。      

Restrained shrinkage cracking of recycled aggregate concrete

The increase in drying shrinkage and decrease in tensile properties of concrete proportioned with recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) can result in a high risk of cracking under restrained conditions. However, the reduction of the modulus of elasticity of such concrete, can lead to greater stress relaxation and reduction in cracking potential. An experimental program was undertaken to evaluate the effect of using RCA at high substitution rates of 50 and 100% (by vol.) on the cracking potential under restrained conditions. Four different types of coarse RCA, two binder types, and water-to-cementitious materials ratio (w/cm) of 0.37 and 0.40 were considered in the study. Mechanical properties, drying shrinkage, and cracking potential using the ring test were investigated. Test results indicated no cracking up to 35 days in the case of the reference mixture and the concrete prepared with 50% RCA replacement. The 28-day stress rate of such mixtures were limited to 0.12 MPa/day. Depending on the RCA type, the incorporation of 100% coarse RCA in a binary system made with 0.40 w/cm increased the 35-day cracking potential to up to 74%, with values of stress rate ranging from 0.25 to 0.34 MPa/day. The mixtures proportioned with 100% RCA developed tensile creep coefficient of 0.34–0.78 at the time of cracking compared to 0.34–0.36 for the reference concrete at the same age. However, greater elastic concrete strain and lower tensile strength resulted in reduced time to cracking at 100% RCA replacement, which was 9.0–11.0 days.     

Properties of recycled aggregate concrete made with recycled aggregates with different amounts of old adhered mortars

This paper presents the experimental results of a study on comparing the difference in properties of recycled aggregates (RAs) with varying amounts of old adhered mortar obtained from different sources and evaluating the influence of the different RAs on the mechanical and durability properties of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). Four concrete mixes (one with natural aggregate and three others with recycled aggregates) with 28 day target compressive strength varying from 30 MPa to 80 MPa are designed by using each RA to fully replace NA. The properties of RAC are also modeled by using the artificial neural networks (ANN) method.The experimental results show that the performance of RAs from different sources varied greatly and RA of good quality can be used to produce high strength concrete with hardened properties comparable to those of the corresponding natural aggregate concrete (NAC). The comparison of the predicted results based on the ANN models and the experimental values indicated that the ANN method could be used to evaluate the properties of RAC made with RAs derived from different sources. This will facilitate the wider application of RA in concrete.     

基于CT图像的再生混凝土细观破坏裂纹分形特征

为深入研究再生混凝土的破坏形态和内部裂纹扩展情况与普通混凝土之间的差异,以不同再生粗骨料(RCA)取代率的再生混凝土为研究对象,利用Phoenix v | tome | x s240微焦点工业CT获取再生混凝土加载到90%预估破坏荷载的二维扫描图像,借助Photoshop CS6图像处理软件,对材料内部破坏裂纹进行提取,进而基于分形几何理论,以分形维数及多重分形谱表征裂纹的分形扩展规律,建立分形维数和多重分形谱特征参数与RCA取代率和再生混凝土抗压强度的关系。结果表明:再生混凝土的细观受力破坏模式与普通混凝土不同,其受力破坏形态不仅取决于粗骨料与水泥浆体的界面黏结强度,还取决于RCA自身性能,当裂纹发展至天然粗骨料或强度较高的RCA时会绕过骨料表面继续发展,发展至强度较低的RCA时会贯穿骨料;分形维数可定量描述混凝土材料内部细观裂纹的整体扩展情况,即裂纹越丰富,分形维数越大;多重分形谱可反映从局部到整体不同层次的细观裂纹特征,裂纹分形维数和多重分形谱特征参数均与RCA取代率呈线性下降关系,与抗压强度呈线性增长关系;本研究可为再生混凝土在大型结构工程中的广泛应用奠定理论和实验基础。
