Test Research on Elastic Modulus and Poisson’s Ratios of Long Age Recycled Aggregate Concrete

Abstract:

In order to reveal the constitutive behavior of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) which is related to time effect, 33 prismatic specimens were designed to have uniaxial compression tests. The changing variation of elastic modulus and Poisson’s ratios of RAC specimens which were placed two years in the lab were inspected, and a related correction formula was put forward to describe the elastic modulus. The results show that with the aggregate replacement rate growing, the RAC brittleness was relatively obvious. Since time effect played a great role, the axial compressive strength and elastic modulus were larger than those of normal concrete and the standard age concrete which is calculated. Poisson's ratio did not change significantly and the values were relatively stable, while the higher replacement rate is, the lower values are.
