Properties of Environmental Friendly Concrete Containing Recycled Coarse Aggregate and Fly Ash

Abstract:

Six mixtures with different ratios (0%, 50% and 100%) were designed to investigate the compressive strength, elastic modulus and Poissons ratio of geopolymeric recycled concrete (GRC). The mechanical properties and failure mechanism of recycled concrete (RAC) and GRC were tested and discussed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The results show that, GRC concretes are stronger than RAC concretes due to different reaction products and better microstructure in interfacial transition zones (ITZs). The EDX results show that the higher compressive strength with higher Si/Al ratio.
