Abstract: Mineral carbonation provides a way to increase the recycling of concrete waste in added-value products, and contributes to the principles of the circular economy. At present, most concrete waste is still downcycled. The high water absorption of recycled concrete aggregates, among other factors, impedes their recycling in the concrete ...
This paper uses waste glass fiber in self compacting recycled concrete (SCRC), forming a kind of waste glass fiber reinforced self-compacting recycled concrete (RGF-SCRC). ... RCA has a lower density and a higher water absorption rate (about 5–8 times) than that of natural coarse ... The typical failure modes of the cube compression tests are ...
High water absorption is a typical characteristic of recycled coarse aggregate and is often used to explain the loss of performance of concrete when replacing natural coarse aggregate with …
SUSTAINABLE CONSTRUCTION | A Guide on the Use of Recycled Materials 4 DEFINITION OF TERMS The following terms and definitions are used in this guidebook: • Eco-concrete Eco-concrete is defined as concrete with at least 50% by mass of total aggregate content replaced by recycled materials, used for non-structural applications. Typical
Porosity and water absorption are related aggregate characteristics, also attributed to residual mortar. NA generally has low water absorption due to low porosity, but …
Cement-based materials as the most extensively employed building material require low-carbon and sustainable development [1].Meanwhile, the challenges posed by the scarcity of sand and stone and the proliferation of construction wastes (mostly waste concrete) are becoming increasingly prominent [2].The existing studies and engineering practice have …
Recycled aggregates include coarse recycled aggregates (CRA) with a typical particle size range of 4.75–31.5 mm and fine recycled aggregates (FRA) between 0.16 and 4.75 mm [27]. Since RA obtained from CDW contains hardened cement paste or mortar and the surface of RA is rough, many micro-cracks will be generated during the crushing process.
Following the CCUS approach, the re-utilization of cement-based concrete waste through a process known as 'mineral carbonation' has become a promising and widely implemented strategy [17, 19].It has been reported that >3 billion tons of recycled aggregates (RAs) from construction and demolition wastes are produced annually [20, 21], with an expected increase …
The recycling of construction waste into recycled aggregates for concrete production is highly important for saving resources, protecting the environment, reducing carbon dioxide emissions, and achieving sustainable development of the construction industry [6].However, recycled aggregates have problems such as high porosity [7], [8], high water …
Table 1 shows the typical chemical properties of crushed glass. Table 1. Chemical properties of crushed ... The water absorption capability of the control concrete sample was compared with other samples with addition of RPW and RCG aggregates. ... the research suggests that incorporating waste plastic and recycled glass in concrete can be a ...
This article discusses the findings of a feasibility study on the partial replacement of natural coarse aggregate with a poor quality recycled aggregate from construction and demolition waste in the manufacture of concrete of 30 MPa strength grade. The mixed recycled aggregate used had a high asphalt and floating material content. Workability, density, compressive and …
Recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) have received the attention of several researchers over the last few decades to overcome aggregate shortages and to push towards sustainable and environmental-friendly concrete. ... In a typical concrete mixture, aggregates constitute 60% to 75% by volume. ... The reduction in the water absorption by concrete ...
This monograph addresses the use of recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) as a replacement for natural aggregates (NA) in concrete applications.
The application of carbonated recycled concrete fines (CRCF) as supplementary cementitious material has emerged as a solution that offers efficient use of construction waste and excellent CO 2 capture potential. This study explores the effect of CRCF (up to 40 % replacement of cement) on early-age engineering properties, hydration and microstructure of cement paste …
A huge number of research works have been conducted on the utilization of RCA in both structural and non-structural concrete production and those studies indicated that RAC can show enough performance and the researchers have recommended the using of recycled aggregates to a certain amount in replacement of aggregates in concrete [11, 12].At …
