Influence of Recycled Aggregate Defects on the Durability of Recycled Aggregate Concrete

Abstract:

An experimental investigation was conducted on the durability of recycled aggregate concretes with the water to binder ratios of 0.26 and 0.60, including chloride ion penetration resistance test, freezing-thawing resistance test and water penetration resistance. Natural aggregate, recycled aggregate untreated and recycled aggregate treated by sulfuric acid solution, were employed. Results indicated that, 3 mol/L acid concentration and the 7 days soaking duration was the optimum to remove the attached mortars in recycled aggregate, and its removal rate could reach to 90.8%. Water penetration resistance, chloride ion penetration resistance and freezing-thawing resistance of concrete with 0.26 W/B was superior to that of concrete with 0.60 W/B. The more pores in the internal of concrete with 0.60 W/B could be attributed to that. Durability of recycled aggregate concrete, incorporating recycled aggregate treated by sulfuric acid solution, was improved. In particular, the improvement in recycled high strength concrete was significant.
