Intensifying Test of Recycled Aggregate Made with Crushed Concrete

Article Preview

Abstract:

Compared with natural aggregates (NA), recycled aggregates (RA) have higher porosity and water absorption rates due to the presence of the porous cement mortar. This paper attempts to report several treatment approaches to improve the properties of RA by their impregnation with kinds of chemical solutions. Effects on compressive and tensile splitting strengths of RAC were investigated. The results show that not only the behavior of RA has improved with reduction in water absorption but also a marked improvement in the mechanical properties of RAC.
