The Effect of Recycled Sand on the Tensile Properties of Engineered Cementitious Composites
This research aims to investigate the feasibility of replacing natural sand (NS) with recycled sand (RS) to enhance the mechanical property of engineered cementitious composites (ECC). For a comparative study, ECCs incorporating natural sands (NS) and recycled sands with different sieve sizes were taken as experimental subjects. The results demonstrated that RS-ECC possessed better tensile properties featuring saturated cracks and superior strain-hardening behavior than that of NS-ECC. The highest tensile strain capacity of RS-ECC was up to 7%. Meanwhile, the compressive and flexural strengths of RS-ECC were over 50 and 20 MPa. The pseudo-strain-hardening (PSH) index of the RS-ECC-20 grid and RS-ECC-12 grid were 141 and 201, which increased by 46% and 70% than that of NS-ECC. Furthermore, the thicker weak ITZ and comparatively aggregate/ITZ ratio were found in the RE-ECC by a microstructure test, which revealed and explained the mechanism for the lower matrix fracture toughness of RS-ECC.
