Insights into the Triaxial Behaviour of Recycled Aggregate Concrete
Abstract In this chapter, the results of an experimental programme aiming to investigate the incidence of different replacements ratios of natural coarse aggregates by recycled ones on the mechanical behaviour of Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC) under tri-axial compression stress states are presented and discussed. The experimental campaign performed at the University of Buenos Aires considers four concrete mixtures including a reference or parent concrete and RACs with 30, 60 and 100% of coarse aggregate replacements. Besides the aforementioned tri-axial compression tests, the results of splitting tensile and uniaxial compression experimental tests are also presented. It is showed that increasing levels of recycled aggregates lead to concretes more sensitive to confinement.
