Effect of Loading on Permeability of Recycled Aggregate Concrete

Abstract:

In this paper, permeability of concrete after loading at various stress levels, including recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) and natural aggregate concrete (NAC) (at W/B ratio of 0.586 and 0.250), is measured by means of surface infiltration experiment and chloride penetrating test to study the effect of loading size on permeability of recycled aggregate concrete. The results show that there exists a critical stress ratio value of around 0.65 to 0.75 for NAC at W/B ratio of 0.586, and among the four types of RAC, the critical stress ratio exists only in 60R50, while the water permeability coefficient increases linearly with the stress ratio for the other 3 types of RAC. The charge passed of RAC increases with the W/B ratio, and the more the recycled aggregates mixed, the higher the charge passed. As the stress ratio increases, the charge passed increases slightly in samples at W/B ratio of 0.25, while the charge passed of samples at W/B ratio of 0.586, whether NAC or RAC, increases almost linearly.
