Experimental Research on Behavior of Composite Beams of Steel-Reinforced Recycled Concrete

Abstract:

The recycled aggregate is dealt with in three ways, the first way is to keep the recycled aggregate intact; the second way is to wrap the recycled aggregate in cement slurry of Water-cement ratio 0.55 for 30 minutes, and then place it at room temperature for 7 days; the third way is to immerse the recycled aggregate in water for 24 hours. Three kinds of different recycled aggregate is separately used for mixing of recycled concrete. The strength and slump of recycled concrete with different recycled coarse aggregate contents are tested. Experiments show that the recycled concrete produced by using the recycled aggregate immersed in water and selecting a suitable mix has the higher strength and slump，which can be industrialized. And then, the recycled concrete with 40% recycled coarse aggregate contents is used in the steel-reinforced recycled concrete beams, which are tested, the failure process of steel-reinforced recycled concrete beams,section strains and maximum load are acquired. Research shows the steel-reinforced recycled concrete beams conform to plane hypothesis before the load reachs 80% the limit load, the flexural bearing capacity of the steel-reinforced recycled concrete beams can meet the demand of Technichal Specification of Steel-Reinforced Concrete Structures. The use of recycled concrete in the composite structures is proposed.
