Experiment on Properties of Recycled Aggregate Concrete

Abstract:

Objective: Measure and study the mechanical properties and abrasion resistance of recycled aggregate concrete in order to provide experimental basis for the application of recycled aggregate concrete in engineering. Method: Use recycled aggregate concrete with replacement ratio of recycled coarse aggregate respectively for 0%, 30%, 50%, 80% and 100% to do the slump, compressive strength, modulus of elasticity and abrasion resistance tests on them. Result: The workability of concrete decreases with the increase of recycled coarse aggregate content. Mechanical properties of concrete change as the replacement ratios of recycled coarse aggregate change. Conclusion: The recycled aggregate concrete and natural aggregate concrete have similar abrasion resistance. The recycled aggregate concrete can be applied in engineering.
