The State-of-the-Art Study on Long-Term Property of Recycled Aggregate Concrete

Abstract:

This paper presents a review of the literature on long-term property of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC), which includes the long-term strength, shrinkage, creep, durability and fatigue behavior. Based on many investigations carried out at home and abroad, it can be apparently observed that there are many differences in long-term property between the normal concrete and the RAC. However the long-term property of RAC can be improved and guaranteed by selecting the recycled aggregates replacement percentage, optimizing the mix proportion design, appending fiber or to restrict the environmental conditions. This paper can be helpful to the comprehensive understanding and further research of recycled aggregate concrete.
