Recycled concrete made with different natural coarse aggregates exposed to high temperature
AbstractThe recycled aggregates obtained from crushed waste concretes have different characteristics from those of natural aggregates. For that reason, the mixture proportions and the fresh and hardened properties of recycled concretes are different. The performance of recycled concrete exposed to high temperatures is not a very well-known subject since most studies have been conducted on conventional concretes. Recycled concretes with water/cement (w/c) ratios of 0.40 and 0.70, and made with three different types of natural coarse aggregate were exposed to 500°C for 1h. These concretes were evaluated by the ultrasonic method, resonance frequency, static modulus of elasticity and compressive strength, before and after heating, and compared with those obtained on similar conventional concretes containing the same type of natural coarse aggregate. The conventional and recycled concretes made with quartzitic coarse aggregate performed better after the heat treatment.
