Compressive Behaviour of Recycle Concrete Cubes after Freeze-Thaw Cycles

Article Preview

Abstract:

It is widely considered that crushed construction aggregate waste creates a lower compressive strength kind of concrete. This paper presents experimental investigation on axial compression strength of 18 recycled aggregate concrete cubes under the freeze-thaw test. The research has focused on the effect of the freezing-thawing test on the ultimate carrying capacity of recycled concrete cubes with different coarse aggregate replacement ratio. This study confirms that freezing-thawing cycles have a greater effect on the ultimate bearing capacity of recycled concrete cubes. Some measures should be taken to prevent the recycle concrete from the freeze-thaw damage, for example add air entraining agent to concrete.
