Recycled Aggregate Concretes for Structural Applications: From Investigation to Design
In this paper an investigation of mechanical behaviour and, in particular, elastic properties of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) is presented. RACs were prepared by using a coarse aggregate made of old concrete particles coming from a recycling plant in which rubble from demolition of reinforced concrete structures is collected and suitably treated. Several concrete mixtures were prepared by using either the only virgin aggregates (as reference) or 30% recycled concrete aggregates replacing gravel, and by using two different kinds of cement. Different water to cement ratios were adopted ranging from 0.40 to 0.60, while concrete workability was always maintained at the same rate by adding different amounts of water-reducing admixture. Concrete compressive strength, elastic modulus and drying shrinkage were evaluated. Results obtained showed that structural concrete up to C32/40 strength class can be manufactured with RAC. Moreover, results obtained were discussed in order to obtain useful information for RAC structure design, particularly in terms of elastic modulus and drying shrinkage prediction.
