▼ Reuse and recycling of
concrete is essential for construction purposes. There has been progressive development in construction projects but at the same time it has an inverse effect on the environment.
Concrete structures are built and demolished continuously all over the world, generating tons of waste materials which are actually reusable in
concrete production itself. This paper emphasis on
recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and many characteristics of RCA. This paper studies RCA’s different properties. RCA’s replacement in the place of natural
aggregate is discussed. The proper amount and researches done on RCA improvement have also been discussed for further in depth study on RCA. RCA is a convenient option for sustainability because demolishing old structures, environmental hazards on different structural etc. are a common phenomenon. They always leave the world with more waste materials that cannot be taken care of naturally. Using these waste materials to create useful structures is one responsible step towards a sustainable world.

▼ Construction and demolition (C&D) or debris
concrete is an underutilized resource often landfilled or
recycled as a non-structural fill material. This study’s main objective is to examine the potential to expand reuse options for recycling
concrete, specifically for use in structural applications. In 2014, the United States landfilled approximately 375 million tons of
concrete, some of which could have been diverted to offset the 1 billion tons of stone
aggregate produced that same year. Thus, expanding productive reuse options for debris
concrete can be an important contribution to sustainability. This study will address the knowledge gaps surrounding expanding utilization of
recycled concrete in structural
concrete by focusing on two main aspects: (1) use of
recycled concrete aggregate as replacement of coarse
aggregate in structural
concrete, and (2) use of
recycled concrete fines as partial replacement of cement. On the structural scale, locally sourced
recycled concrete was used as 100% of the coarse
aggregate in the
recycled aggregate concrete, and the influence of maximum size
aggregate was assessed in shear and flexure. The durability of
recycled aggregate concrete was assessed through measures of permeability, resistance to alkali–silica reaction, and service life modeling of structural elements in chloride-rich environments, all in comparison to companion
concrete using natural coarse
aggregate. The potential use of
recycled concrete fines, smaller than 74μm, as a supplementary cementitious material or as filler at 20% by replacement of cement was explored. To increase the reactivity of
recycled concrete fines, several techniques were used to activate the fines, including calcining and ball milling. The
recycled aggregate concretes produced exhibited comparable strength and durability comparable to natural
aggregate concrete at 100% replacement of coarse
aggregate.
Recycled aggregate concrete in comparison to natural
aggregate concrete at the same maximum size
aggregate had -9% to 3%, -0.5 to 2.5%, -15% to 6.9% difference in compressive strength of 6 ksi at 28 days, flexural strength of 780 psi at 28 days, and shear strength of 800 psi at 28 days, respectively. Both natural
aggregate concrete and
recycled aggregate concrete had high to moderate permeability level. Maximum
aggregate had negotiable effect on the performance of
recycled concrete aggregate. Nevertheless, of the three maximum size aggregates tested in general 0.75-inch best structural performance. Thermogravimetric analysis show that
recycled concrete fines do not exhibit pozzolanic reactivity and instead act as filler in cement systems. Activation techniques did enhance the reactivity of
recycled concrete fines, as assessed through examination cement hydration kinetics and these improvements were linked to increases in surface area, reductions in impurities, and modified chemical composition. Of the methods explored calcining at 750°C produced the most reactive fines. This work demonstrates that, with proper mix design,
recycled concrete can be…

▼ Concrete is the most commonly used building material in the construction industry, and contributes to 52% of construction and demolition waste in Canada. Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) is one way to reduce this impact. To evaluate the performance of coarse and granular (fine and coarse) RCA in structural concrete applications, four studies were performed: an environmental assessment, a material testing program, a shear performance study, and a flexural performance study.
To determine the environmental benefits of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC), three case studies were investigated using different populations and proximities to city centres. Environmental modelling suggested that RCA replacement could result in energy savings and greenhouse gas emission reductions, especially in remote areas.
Tests were performed to determine if the volumetric replacement of up to 30% coarse RCA and 20% granular RCA is suitable for structural concrete applications in Canada. Fresh, hardened, and durability properties were evaluated. All five (5) of the RCA mixes showed equivalent material performance to the control mixes and met the requirements for a structural concrete mix.
The five (5) RAC mixes were also used in structural testing. One-way reinforced concrete slab specimens were tested to failure to evaluate the shear and flexural performance of the RAC members. Peak capacities of and crack formation within each member were analyzed to evaluate the performance of RAC compared to conventional concrete. The shear capacity of specimens made from four (4) of the five (5) RAC mixtures was higher or equivalent to the control specimens. Specimens of the concrete mixture containing the highest content of recycled aggregate, 20% volumetric replacement of granular RCA, had shear capacities 14.1% lower, and exhibited cracking at lower loads than the control. The average flexural capacities of all RAC specimens were within 3.7% of the control specimens.
Results from this research provide evidence that up to 30% coarse recycled concrete aggregate and 10% granular recycled aggregate may be incorporated into structural concrete mixtures without altering the behaviour of the structure. Concrete containing 20% volumetric replacement of the natural aggregate with granular RCA should be designed with special consideration of the shear performance.

▼ Large quantity of construction and demolition waste has been produced due to the
economic growth of the world. However, the most common way to dispose of such waste
is by landfill. Without proper sorting and handling of it, as time passes, landfills will cause
many environmental issues. Furthermore, the continuous utilization of natural aggregates
will cause resource scarcity. The potential solution for these problems is the recycling of
aggregates. Still, due to strength reduction associated with
recycled aggregates, its usage
is restricted for low strength
concrete.
On the other hand, incorporation of metakaolin as a cement replacement in
recycled
aggregate concretes could pave a path towards a sustainable future. In addition, kaolin, the
original material from which metakaolin is produced, is found in large quantities in
Ethiopia which makes it an attractive option.
This research presents the effect of metakaolin as a cement replacement on the properties
of fresh and hardened
recycled coarse
aggregate concrete as well as natural coarse
aggregate concrete. The
recycled coarse
aggregate is extracted from first-hand cast
laboratory cubes with known average compressive strength. Different types of
concrete
mixtures are tested:
concrete made with natural coarse
aggregate as a control
concrete,
concrete made with
recycled coarse
aggregate (0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%
replacement of natural coarse
aggregate),
concrete made with metakaolin as cement
replacement (0%, 6%, 12%, 18%, and 24% replacement of cement), and
concrete made
with
recycled coarse
aggregate (0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% replacement of natural
coarse
aggregate) with metakaolin as cement replacement (6%, 12%, and 18%
replacement of cement). Additionally, a separate experiment has been conducted to check
the production of metakaolin from locally found kaolin samples.
The outcomes of this research show that the use of metakaolin as a cement replacement
improved the compressive strength of
recycled coarse
aggregate concrete and even
resulted in a compressive strength almost equal to natural coarse
aggregate concrete. In
addition, this thesis has shown that metakaolin can be produced from locally occurring
kaolin by thermal activation.

▼ The purpose of this research is to investigate the influence of recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) on the long-term behaviour of composite steel-concrete slabs. Several types of tests were conducted to fulfil the research, including material tests on recycled aggregate concrete (RAC), non-uniform shrinkage tests on small-scale slabs, and long-term tests on full-scale slabs. In the materials tests, the influence of service time of RCA and mixing methods on the mechanical properties of RAC were first investigated. The model to predict the RAC elastic modulus was developed accounting for the influence of residual mortar content. The shrinkage tests were then conducted on RAC using RCA obtained from parent concrete having different service time and compressive strengths. The models to predict the autogenous and drying shrinkage behaviour of RAC were developed accounting for the combined effects of parent concrete quality and residual mortar content. In the shrinkage tests on the small-scale slabs, the relative humidity (RH) and strain distributions through the thickness of seventeen slabs were monitored over time. Test parameters consisted of RCA replacement ratios, slab depths and sealing conditions of the slab surfaces. The mechanism of non-uniform shrinkage in composite slabs was revealed by the measured RH distributions through the thickness of slabs. In the long-term tests on the full-scale slabs, seven slabs were prepared and measured, including three steel-bars truss slabs and four composite slabs. A nonlinear finite element model was developed to account for the time-dependent behaviour of composite slabs to include the effects of non-uniform shrinkage, creep and concrete cracking. Based on the experimental investigations and numerical simulations, a design approach to be used for routine design of RAC composite slabs was proposed and validated.

▼ With ever-increasing emphasis on sustainability, recycling
concrete as
aggregate has continued to be an important topic. While the use of the coarse fraction of
recycled concrete has become commonplace, the fine fraction is largely regarded as a waste material with few outlets for its use. In this thesis, the use of
recycled fine
concrete aggregate is investigated for use as a source of internal curing in new
concrete and as the
aggregate in controlled low-strength materials. Characterization of the
recycled fine
concrete aggregate did not indicate the presence of appreciable quantities of reactive materials, but the
recycled aggregates do possess high absorption capacities, which indicates a potential for internal curing. The ability to provide internal curing is tested using autogenous shrinkage measurements. The mixture design method previously develop for controlled low-strength materials is further validated using alternative material combinations. In addition, dynamic cone penetrometer testing and accelerated curing methods are applied to the controlled low-strength material in order to better characterize the strength of the material. The internal curing tests indicated a potential for
recycled aggregates to be used for internal curing. The results from the mixture design validation support the previous conclusions that slump flow is highly reliant on the paste volume. The subsidence and strength are both tied to the cement content and the water to cementitious ratio. The findings of the dynamic cone penetrometer tests suggest that it is a viable in situ test for controlled low-strength material. The in situ testing are then correlated with the unconfined compressive strength. Using elevated temperatures to cure controlled low-strength materials did result in significant strength increases over room temperature curing. The higher early strengths from the accelerated curing provides valuable information on the maximum strength that can be achieved from a mixture. The strength gain as a function of time and temperature is modeled for controlled low-strength materials using virgin fine aggregates.

▼ Owing to its properties and cost benefit,
concrete is the most widely used construction material globally. The rapid increase in industrialization and urbanization because of the global economy and population growth has increased environmental awareness and attracted attention to new methods and innovations in
concrete technology. To respond to these needs, three novel
concrete technologies are investigated in this thesis: eco-binder
concrete,
concrete produced with
recycled concrete, and the use of external and internal reinforcements in conventional high-strength
concrete (HSC). Gaps in the current literature were identified and addressed by performing new tests at the University of Adelaide. The investigations have resulted in five journal papers, which are parts of this thesis. First, the mechanical and durability-related properties of geopolymer
concrete (GPC) are reported. GPC is currently investigated as an environmentally friendly alternative to
concrete based on ordinary Portland cement (OPC). Because of the lack of literature data regarding the behaviour of coal ash-based geopolymer
concrete cured under ambient conditions, this study uses ambiently-cured GPCs to identify the key parameters that affect the properties of fresh and hardened
concrete. Second, the mechanical and durability-related properties of
recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) was experimentally investigated in this research. In addition to this, confinement of RAC with fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) has shown great potential as
concrete for high-performance structural elements. Moreover, its use can reduce the environmental impact of natural resources depletion. This thesis also discusses the experimental results that aim to fill in the knowledge gap in the key parameters of the axial compressive behaviour of RAC-filled FRP tubes (RACFFTs) manufactured with carbon FRP (CFRP) or basalt FRP (BFRP) tubes. Finally, owing to the inherently brittle nature of HSC, even well-confined columns often exhibit temporary postpeak axial strength-softening behaviour, which negatively affects their overall performance. In this study, steel fibres, which effectively delay and stop crack propagation, were used as internal reinforcement to address the aforementioned shortcomings of conventional FRP-confined HSC. To date, this is the first experimental investigation of the effect of key parameters on the axial compressive behaviour of steel fibre-reinforced HSC (SFRHSC)-filled FRP tubes (SFRHSCFFTs).

▼ The use of
recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) in
concrete construction is a practice that is increasing in use with a general movement toward more sustainable and environmentally responsible construction practices. The environmental benefits include reducing landfill use from building construction and reducing effects of mining for new aggregates. The surface characteristics of RCA differ from natural aggregates due to the remaining cement paste adhered to the original
aggregate which result in lower
aggregate density and higher absorption. An experimental study was carried out to determine the effects on
concrete of various RCA surface treatments, which included a silica-cement mixture, acrylic coating, surfactant solution, and water saturation, intended to alter RCA surface characteristics. The effects on
aggregate properties, fresh
concrete properties, and hardened
concrete properties were examined. The use of RCA at a 25% substitution rate for natural
aggregate appears effective at reducing drying shrinkage and increasing compressive strength using untreated, acrylic treated, and water saturated RCA, depending on the intended use of the final
concrete product.

▼ Globally the utilization of concrete particularly
highstrength concrete has been increasing day by day due to rapid
industrialization and infrastructural developments An enormous
quantity of natural coarse aggregate is required for making
concrete to meet the huge demand The natural resources of coarse
aggregate are depleting rapidly all over the world and urgently
need to be conserved On the other hand millions of tonnes of
construction and demolition wastes are being generated from
different sources The disposal of these huge quantities of C and D
waste is posing a big problem to the local administration and
environment Further there are areas where the natural coarse
aggregates are scarcely available and are hauled from long
distances These issues have to be addressed urgently A review of
the literature suggests that obtaining the coarse aggregates from C
and D waste is a possible solution to these issues Therefore in the
present work an experimental attempt has been made to utilize the
recycled coarse aggregate from C and D waste to the maximum
possible extent for producing the high strength
concrete

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Due to a rise in population and industrialisation, the demand on infrastructure in developing countries have increased significantly. The world has been moving towards a more environmentally friendly and sustainable approach to provide the necessary infrastructure to sustain the economy. High quality natural
aggregate is a finite resource with declining supply. It is therefore imperative that materials previously regarded as waste, should be
recycled and reused. Large amounts of
Concrete Demolition Waste (CDW) is created when old infrastructure is destroyed and this material placed in already constrained landfill sites. There has been a shift in perceptions of this material from being a waste to being a valued road construction material in recent years.
Recycled Concrete and Masonry
Aggregate are widely used in some developed countries, where good quality natural resources are scarce. However, in developing countries that have an abundance of good quality
aggregate, but limited knowledge in the field of recycling, this material is often disregarded.
Builders’ rubble that have been
recycled, such as
Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA), has shown to be an effective alternative material in structural pavement layers in other countries. In the South African industry, standards and guidelines towards the use of this material has not yet been developed and implemented.
The experimental design developed for this study, incorporated two different types of RCA material, the Unexposed material used from the crushing process, and Exposed material that has been treated with the aim to promote rapid self-cementation. In this study, laboratory triaxial tests, which included monotonic and permanent deformation tests were performed. The self-cementing potential of the material was investigated by using two different types of material. These materials were tested at different curing times to investigate the effect on the durability of the material.
It was found that RCA material, both Exposed and Unexposed, had large amounts of variability in terms of behaviour. The Exposed RCA more so than the Unexposed RCA. This can be attributed to the reduction in self-cementation potential and the variable dispersion of the cement particles left in the material after processing of the Exposed material. Both materials had very high shear strength parameter values (cohesion and friction angle). Results revealed that the shear parameters are not an indication of the material’s ability to withstand permanent deformation, as was shown for the Exposed RCA material. The Exposed material exhibited similar shear parameters to the Unexposed material. However, the Deviator Stress Ratio for the Exposed material, where stable behaviour in the permanent deformation tests was observed, was much lower than that of the Unexposed material. This suggests that the material relies not only on the matrix of
aggregate interlock, but possibly also on the cementitious bonds for shear strength and resistance to permanent deformation.
Using the results…

▼ The effects of using alkali-silica reaction (ASR) affected
recycled concrete
aggregate (ASR-RCA) in hot mix asphalt (HMA) were investigated in this study.
Dilatometer and modified beam tests were performed to determine the possibility of new
ASR occurring in reactive aggregates within the HMA or re-expansion of existing gel.
The Lottman test and micro-calorimeter were used to determine the moisture
susceptibility of HMA made with ASR-RCA. A differential scanning calorimeter
(DSC) with thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was used to evaluate the drying of an
artificial gel and x-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to check for the potential presence of
gel in the filler fraction of the ASR-RCAs. Micro-deval and freeze-thaw tests were
evaluated for their potential to indicate the presence of excess micro-cracks or ASR gel.
Expansion testing indicated that both ASR-RCAs were still reactive with 0.5 N
NaOH solution saturated with calcium hydroxide (CH) at 60 degrees C. Dilatometer testing of
HMA specimens in NaOH CH solution at 60 degrees C indicated a reaction between the asphalt
binder and the solution, but little, if any, ASR. The lack of expansion in the modified
beam test supports the binder-solution interaction. However, dilatometer testing in
deicer solution at the same temperature indicated that some ASR may have occurred
along with the primary binder-solution interaction. The volume change characteristics
associated with the binder-solution interaction with and without ASR was supported by
the change in pH and alkali concentration of the test solution.
DSC/TGA testing indicated that the artificial gel dehydrated at approximately
100 degrees C. XRD analysis of the filler indicated that some gel may have accumulated in this
fraction. Moisture damage testing indicated good resistance to moisture damage by
HMA mixtures made with ASR-RCA especially compared to a virgin siliceous
aggregate. Micro-deval and freeze-thaw tests can detect the presence of micro-cracks
due to ASR in ASR-RCAs as higher mass loss than the virgin
aggregate.
The potential distress mechanisms that may occur when using ASR-RCA in an
HMA pavement were identified. Results obtained using accelerated laboratory
conditions were extrapolated based on anticipated field conditions. Guidelines for the
mitigation of potential distresses in HMA made with ASR-RCA are presented.

▼ Pervious
concrete has been widely used in pavement applications to help alleviate environmental issues related to urban stormwater runoff and pollution. While horizontal infrastructure (e.g., pavements) represent the majority of applications over the past few decades, pervious
concrete is now being considered for other building infrastructure applications, such as sound barriers, insulation, and vertical garden walls. These new applications necessitate different physical and mechanical properties (e.g., ultra-high porosities) than pervious pavements. In response to this need, this research defines macroporous pervious
concrete (MPC) as a pervious
concrete with a minimum porosity of 30% and proposes it as a possible material solution for these new applications. The objective of this work was to characterize the mechanical and physical properties of the MPC under simulated field conditions. Due to the anticipated low strength of ultra-high porosity
concrete, the impact of two binder additives, namely sand and titanium dioxide (TiO2), on the compressive strength of MPC was investigated. In addition, the effect of
recycled aggregates on the mechanical and physical properties was assessed herein. To compare permeability of MPC to normal (< 30% porosity) pervious
concrete, a modified Carman-Kozeny equation was proposed to predict permeability. Results demonstrate that MPC has a lower compressive strength and higher permeability than normal pervious
concrete. Additionally, the use of
recycled aggregates in lieu of virgin aggregates in MPC does not compromise its mechanical properties, but does impact MPC physical properties. Rather than being controlled by the parameters of unit weight, porosity, and
aggregate type that usually govern the mechanical properties of normal pervious
concrete, the strength of the MPC binder solely governs its mechanical performance. Furthermore, the data show that cement-binder additions of 7% sand or 2.5% TiO2 improve compressive strengths of
recycled-
aggregate MPC by 19% and 7%, respectively and that simultaneous use of both additives increase MPC compressive strength by 28%.

▼ Concrete waste is presently recycled and used as a road base material or, alternatively, landfilled, while it has the potential to be recycled to produce recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) to replace natural coarse aggregate (NA) in structural concrete. This initiative not only conserves natural aggregate and addresses its increasing scarcity, but also enables recycling and reuse of concrete in a closed loop by the construction industry.
Despite its numerous advantages, the industry uptake of manufacturing recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) has been considerably low. Material characterisation of RAC suggests that it has comparable properties to natural aggregate concrete (NAC). The question whether incorporating RCA into concrete as a waste derived product, outweigh its benefits, is yet unanswered, and RAC production currently remains at laboratory and trial scale testing in Australia.
With the requirement to have a multi-criteria approach to evaluate whether the diversion of RCA to structural concrete is feasible, the research in this thesis proposes the use of cost-benefit analysis (CBA) to monetise the implications associated with the production of RAC. The proposed framework firstly conducts a technical evaluation to simulate the industrial scale manufacturing environment of RAC and its product composition, assuming incremental changes in the present industrial set-up to commence its production. Ready-mix concrete (RMC) manufacturing plants and waste concrete recycling plants based in Victoria, Australia are utilised for the validation of the proposed set up.
Based on the technical evaluation, CBA evaluates manufacturing RAC (Project case) as opposed to NAC (Base case), considering multiple dimensions. The outcome of the evaluation is consolidated to derive the net present value (NPV) as a representative indicator to compare the two alternatives. As the first step, considering industrial scale manufacturing of RAC the incremental price of RAC is estimated, to represent the private operators’ perspective. Next, to estimate the external costs and benefits to parties who do not take part in production or consumption of RAC, the direct and indirect environmental and social impacts are evaluated. The direct environmental impact evaluation refers to the incremental embodied energy of RAC and converts it to a monetary value, incorporating the CO2 reabsorption occurring with concrete waste. The indirect environmental impact evaluation considers the benefits associated with the avoidance of disposal of waste concrete through landfills, and quarrying of NA, which are determined using economic evaluation methods. Relevant social implications are qualitatively assessed.
In consolidating the outcomes, the net direct environmental, indirect environmental and social benefits are integrated first to estimate the next external benefit to society. This represents the value in terms of preserving environmental quality with the use of a recycled product replacing an extracted product. The NPV of manufacturing RAC as…

▼ An ICAR rheometer was used in this study to measure the rheological behaviors of high-workability mortar (Self-Consolidating
Concrete - SCC mortar). A mortar slump test and a mortar funnel test were also performed to evaluate the workability of SCC mortar. Fine
recycled-
concrete aggregate (FRCA) was used in this study in mixtures to replace natural
aggregate at different degrees. Fine aggregates, both natural and
recycled aggregates, were used to prepared SCC mortar in two moisture conditions, wet condition and dry condition. The change of workability and rheology of SCC mortar over time was investigated. It has been found that the fine
recycled-
concrete aggregate can be used to replace the natural
aggregate in producing SCC mortar. The use of FRCA reduced both the unit weight and the compressive strength of SCC mortar. It has also been found rheological parameters can be used to indicate the workability of SCC mortar.

▼ Despite extensive research studies, construction
demolition waste (CDW) and worn-out tyres of motor vehicles are
still not fully reused and are hence disposed of in ways that are
damaging to the environment. . There have been a number of
investigations into manufacturing
concrete using
recycled
aggregates from CDW and crumb rubber. However, it has not been
possible to make
recycled aggregate concrete with the-same
performance as standard natural
aggregate concrete (NAC) without
incurring extra costs. Production of natural coarse aggregates is
environmentally damaging and also costly. With surging demand for
concrete worldwide, and to respond to the call of sustainable
development, it is vital that the enormous quantities of CDW and
tyres with high embodied carbon content are used in structural
applications without compromising cost and performance. This thesis
focuses on two ways of doing so: by finding alternative ways of
improving the mechanical properties of
recycled aggregate concrete
to achieve those of
concrete using natural aggregates, and to find
new ways of using
recycled aggregate concrete where the demand on
the mechanical properties of
concrete can be easily met by
recycled
aggregate concrete. Regarding the former, the research investigates
the feasibility of adding a tiny amount of graphene (109g) to a
cubic metre of
recycled aggregate concrete. The 109g of graphene is
equivalent to 0.01% (optimized concentration) of the combined
weight of cement and sand of the design
concrete mix. Regarding the
latter, this research considers using
recycled aggregate concrete
in the tension zone of reinforced
concrete beams. Mechanical
property tests have been carried out on
recycled aggregate and
crumb rubber
concrete, with or without graphene. In the first part
of this research, comparisons were made between
concrete using 10mm
size uncrushed quartzite stones (NAC mix, C40),
recycled aggregate
concrete (RAC) and rubber
recycled aggregate concrete mix (RRAC).
The slump test results show RAC suffered a 73% reduction in slump
value compared to the NAC mix. However, the slump value of RAC was
increased by 72% by introducing an additional amount of water
(4.21% of
recycled aggregate weight measured from a water
absorption test) or by 75% using DARACEM 215 superplasticizers (1%
of cement weight). As expected, the compressive and tensile
strengths, elastic modulus and ultrasonic pulse velocity of the
recycled aggregate concrete were lower than those of the NAC mix,
by 14.9%, 14.8% , 4.3% and 7.4% respectively. Introducing crumb
rubber (by 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% of
recycled aggregate weight) into
the
recycled aggregate concrete further decreased its workability
and mechanical properties with or without superplasticizers. In the
interest of workability, this research recommends limiting the
weight of rubber to not more than 10% of the

weight. With 5% and 10% rubber, the compressive strengths of RRAC
were 32.8% and 47.1% of the NAC mix using uncrushed 10mm quartzite
aggregates. Inclusion of rubber crumb seemed…

▼ Despite extensive research studies, construction demolition waste (CDW) and worn-out tyres of motor vehicles are still not fully reused and are hence disposed of in ways that are damaging to the environment. . There have been a number of investigations into manufacturing concrete using recycled aggregates from CDW and crumb rubber. However, it has not been possible to make recycled aggregate concrete with the-same performance as standard natural aggregate concrete (NAC) without incurring extra costs. Production of natural coarse aggregates is environmentally damaging and also costly. With surging demand for concrete worldwide, and to respond to the call of sustainable development, it is vital that the enormous quantities of CDW and tyres with high embodied carbon content are used in structural applications without compromising cost and performance. This thesis focuses on two ways of doing so: by finding alternative ways of improving the mechanical properties of recycled aggregate concrete to achieve those of concrete using natural aggregates, and to find new ways of using recycled aggregate concrete where the demand on the mechanical properties of concrete can be easily met by recycled aggregate concrete. Regarding the former, the research investigates the feasibility of adding a tiny amount of graphene (109g) to a cubic metre of recycled aggregate concrete. The 109g of graphene is equivalent to 0.01% (optimized concentration) of the combined weight of cement and sand of the design concrete mix. Regarding the latter, this research considers using recycled aggregate concrete in the tension zone of reinforced concrete beams. Mechanical property tests have been carried out on recycled aggregate and crumb rubber concrete, with or without graphene. In the first part of this research, comparisons were made between concrete using 10mm size uncrushed quartzite stones (NAC mix, C40), recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) and rubber recycled aggregate concrete mix (RRAC). The slump test results show RAC suffered a 73% reduction in slump value compared to the NAC mix. However, the slump value of RAC was increased by 72% by introducing an additional amount of water (4.21% of recycled aggregate weight measured from a water absorption test) or by 75% using DARACEM 215 superplasticizers (1% of cement weight). As expected, the compressive and tensile strengths, elastic modulus and ultrasonic pulse velocity of the recycled aggregate concrete were lower than those of the NAC mix, by 14.9%, 14.8% , 4.3% and 7.4% respectively. Introducing crumb rubber (by 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% of recycled aggregate weight) into the recycled aggregate concrete further decreased its workability and mechanical properties with or without superplasticizers. In the interest of workability, this research recommends limiting the weight of rubber to not more than 10% of the recycled aggregate weight. With 5% and 10% rubber, the compressive strengths of RRAC were 32.8% and 47.1% of the NAC mix using uncrushed 10mm quartzite aggregates. Inclusion of rubber crumb seemed…

▼ A presente dissertação foi elaborada no âmbito da unidade curricular de DIPRE (Dissertação/Projeto/Estágio), que se encontra no plano de estudos do 2º semestre do 2º ano do Mestrado em Engenharia Civil, no ramo de Estruturas do Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto.
Responsável pelo grande consumo de recursos naturais e pela grande quantidade de resíduos gerados, a indústria da construção civil busca alternativas para minimizar esse impacto. A reciclagem destes resíduos surge nesta busca como a melhor alternativa, retornando ao sector uma nova matéria prima, o agregado reciclado. Deste modo, nem o meio ambiente e nem a demanda são prejudicadas.
Apenas os resíduos oriundos da construção, demolição, reabilitações e reparos podem ser reutilizáveis como agregados. E entre os vários resíduos da construção civil (RCC), os resíduos de betão são os que apresentam maior potencial de utilização, devido ao baixo grau de contaminação por outros materiais.
Apesar das inúmeras pesquisas desenvolvidas com o objetivo de viabilizar o aproveitamento desses resíduos, não há um consenso na sua utilização. A legislação brasileira, NBR 15116, permite a aplicação do agregado reciclado apenas em betãos sem fins estruturais, enquanto a legislação portuguesa, E471:2009, pemite a aplicação da classe dos agregados reciclados de betão (ARB) em betãos com fins estruturais.
Em busca de avaliar o potencial do agregado reciclado de betão (ARB), no fabrico de betão com fim estrutural; foi realizado um estudo experimental inicialmente de caracterização do material e posteriormente de produção de betão produzido com as percentagens de ARB permitidas na especificação portuguesa E 471:2009. Com o presente estudo procurou-se avaliar a viabilidade de utilização de agregados reciclados actualmente existentes no Brasil na execução de betões com fins estruturais.
Os resultados encontrados permitiram concluir que a fração graúda do ARB, apresenta grande potencial, porém a falta de controlo no seu beneficiamento impossibilita ampliar sua utilização.
This dissertation was prepared in the context of curricular unit of DIPRE (Dissertation/Project/Internship), which is the 2nd semester of the 2nd year of the master’s degree in Civil Engineering, in the structures field of the Instituto Superior de Engenharia do Porto.
Responsible for the large consumption of natural resources and the large amount of waste generated, the construction industry seeks alternatives to minimize this impact. The recycling of this waste comes this search as the best alternative, returning to a new raw material sector, the recycled aggregate. Accordingly, neither the environment nor the demand is hampered.
Only waste from construction, demolition, restoration and repairs can be reusable as aggregates. And among the various construction waste (RCC), the waste concrete are those with the greatest potential for use due to the low degree of contamination by other materials.
Despite numerous research developed in order to facilitate the use of this waste, there is no consensus on its use.…

▼ Građevinarstvo-betonske konstrukcije / Civil
Engineering-Concrete structures
Recikliranje betonskog otpada je jedno od održivih
rešenja za rastuće probleme sa deponijama građevinskog otpada i
nekontrolisano iskorišćavanje prirodnih resursa. Rezultat procesa
je agregat od recikliranog betona koji se trenutno dominantno
koristi za podloge puteva i nekonstruktivne betonske elemente. Sa
stanovišta zaštite resursa, smanjenja energije i razvoja ekološke
svesti, važno je istražiti da li se beton na bazi recikliranog
agregata može koristiti za elemente armiranobetonskih konstrukcija.
Predmet istraživanja u ovoj disertaciji su elementi konstrukcije,
tačnije gredni nosači napravljeni od betona na bazi recikliranog
agregata (RAC) i njihovo ponašanje pod dejstvom kratkotrajnog
opterećenja do loma savijanjem ili smicanjem. Formirana je baza
podataka i obavljena statistička analiza o mehaničkim svojstvima
RAC betona u odnosu na uporedne betone sa prirodnim agregatom
(NAC). Eksperimentalni rad obuhvatio je ispitivanje recikliranog
agregata, betona na bazi recikliranog agregata i grednih nosača
napravljenih od takvog betona. Rezultati ispitivanja svojstava
agregata i probna ispitivanja fizičko-mehaničkih svojstava serija
RAC i NAC betona poslužili su kao ulazni parametar za projektovanje
sastava 3 betonske mešavine sa 0%, 50% i 100% recikliranog agregata
krupne frakcije, iste projektovane čvrstoće pri pritisku. Ukupno je
do loma ispitano 18 greda, statičkog sistema prosta greda, raspona
3.0 m. Od toga, napravljene su 3 serije od po 3 grede sa različitom
količinom podužne armature (0.28%, 1.46% i 2.54%). Koncept
ispitivanja postavljen je tako da se faznim povećanjem opterećenja
dođe do loma nosača usled savijanja u sredini raspona. Takođe,
napravljene su 3 serije od po 3 grede od betona sa 0%, 50% i 100%
krupnog RAC i sa različitom količinom poprečne armature (0%, 0.14%
i 0.19%), predviđenih za ispitivanje smičuće nosivosti. Izvršeno je
poređenje zavisnosti sila-pomeranje, slika prslina, ugiba,
dilatacija u betonu i armaturi, oblika loma i graničnih nosivosti
greda od klasičnog i RAC betona, bazirano na sopstvenim i drugim
rezultatima ispitivanja. Testirana je mogućnost primene savremenih
propisa koji se odnose na NAC betone na gredne RAC elemente, kroz
poređenje analitičkih predikcija i eksperimentalnih vrednosti
momenta savijanja pri pojavi prve prsline, ugiba, graničnih
momenata savijanja i granične smičuće sile. Takođe, izvršeno je
poređenje sopstvenih i drugih rezultata eksperimentalnih
ispitivanja osnovnih parametara nosivosti greda koje su dominantno
izložene savijanju ili smicanju...

▼ There are significant environmental benefits of recycling waste
concrete and reusing it as
aggregate for structural
concrete, but the use of
Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC) is yet limited to non-structural applications such as road sub-base. Widespread application of RAC in areas such as seismic design requires an improved knowledge of RAC behavior under multiaxial state of stresses.
The main objective of this research is the characterization of seismic properties of RAC by developing a stress-strain model which can reasonably describe the behavior under both unconfined and confined conditions. An extensive experimental program, including testing of several plain RAC cylinders as well as reinforced RAC columns, was conducted. There are numerous variables influencing the behavior of confined RAC, creating unlimited experimental possibilities, so the tests parameters were chosen to be limited to square columns with normal strength RAC and rectilinear tie configurations.
Stress-strain curves were obtained for several 4 inches by 8 inches RAC cylinders with compressive strength from 2.5 ksi to 7.5 ksi. Based on the experimental results, a new model for stress-strain behavior of plain RAC was developed. Up to an axial strain of 0.0025, a nonlinear equation is considered for the ascending branch, which is primarily a function of compressive strength and elastic modulus, while the descending branch is a straight line and is a function of compressive strength. A sustaining branch was proposed where the plain RAC is capable of sustaining 10% of the compressive strength.
44 reinforced RAC columns, 10 inches by 10 inches in section and 32 inches in height with nine different combination of tie patterns and spacings were tested under quasi-static (1.6 10-5 per in.) and dynamic (1.6 10-2 per in.) axial straining rates. The columns with a volumetric ratio of ties of 1.5% more were capable of sustaining the load than the columns with lower volumetric ratios. Under the fast straining rate, the columns showed about 27% increase in strength. The columns with sufficient and well-distributed lateral confinement did not also show any stiffness degradation under cyclic loading.
Special attention was paid to recording the axial strains at which vertical cracks were developing, as well as the strains at which the cover was no longer effective. These strains were indicative of the gradual transition of axial stresses from cover to the core. Based on these strains and contributions of
concrete and longitudinal steel in for each column, a new one-of-a-kind stress-strain model for confined RAC was proposed. The model is comprised of an ascending-transition-descending structure would be suitable to define the behavior. The ascending branch proposed for plain RAC is applicable for confined RAC as well. The transition zone starts at a strain of 0.0020 and ends at a strain where the cover is completely ineffective. The descending branch is a straight line and primarily a function of the lateral reinforcement. The…

▼ The use of
recycled concrete aggregate (RCA)
in the U.S. has mostly been limited to non-structural applications
such as roadway sub-base. To advance this sustainable material as
replacement for coarse natural aggregates (e.g., gravel) in
structural applications, a fundamental understanding of the
behavior of RCA
concrete is needed while also incorporating the
variability in RCA properties. To this end, this dissertation
investigates the short-term and long-term structural behavior of
RCA
concrete through material and member level experiments,
accompanying analytical models, and statistical investigations.
Three RCA
concrete mix design methods utilizing up to 100% (i.e.,
full) direct volume
aggregate replacement, direct weight
replacement, and equivalent mortar replacement are compared. To
represent the variability in material properties, sixteen RCA
sources from the midwestern U.S are used. The
research vision is to use RCA with minimal deviation or additional
processing from current practice for conventional reinforced
concrete structures. The material level tests show that direct
volume replacement is the best method to design RCA
concrete mixes
because this simple method results in a consistent volumetric yield
and workability as conventional
concrete. While there is a decrease
in the
concrete strength and stiffness as a result of RCA, the
dissertation proposes design relationships to pre-qualify the RCA
(using the
aggregate water absorption and deleterious material
content) to achieve specific
concrete strength and stiffness
performance criteria. RCA has a much greater
effect on
concrete stiffness than strength; and thus, increased
deflections may be a greater limitation. Based on creep and
shrinkage experiments, the dissertation develops adjustment factors
for conventional
concrete creep and shrinkage models to predict the
deformations of RCA
concrete. These models are validated using the
long-term deflections from eighteen reinforced
concrete beam test
specimens. The beams are subsequently tested under ultimate loads
to experimentally and analytically investigate the flexural, shear,
and bond failure in RCA
concrete. The measured long-term beam
deflections are also used to validate a new time-dependent
concrete
material model for the OpenSees structural analysis program. This
model is then extended to parametric Monte Carlo investigations to
determine the service-load behavior of beams and columns
incorporating the variability in RCA
properties.

▼ Građevinarstvo - Betonske konstrukcije / Civil
Engineering - Concrete Structures
Trajnost betona definisana je njegovom otpornošću
na dejstvo štetnih agenasa iz okolne sredine koji dovode do
različitih vrsta oštećenja (mehanizmi deterioracije). U ovoj tezi,
kroz pregled literature, izvršena je analiza postojećih rezultata
istraživanja i znanja o glavnim mehanizmima deterioracije koji
predstavljaju najveću opasnost za objekte u različitim klimatskim
sredinama. Mehanizmi deterioracije mogu uticati na strukturu betona
(mraz i soli za odmrzavanje) ili na pojavu korozije armature unutar
betona (karbonatizacija i penetracija hlorida). Na deterioracione
mehanizme i koroziju koja nastaje njihovim dejstvom u velikoj meri
utiče prisustvo prslina. Prsline koje nastaju kao posledica
savijanja presecaju armaturu i znatno olakšavaju prodor kiseonika i
vode. Shodno tome, uloga prslina prouzrokovanih opterećenjem ne
sme se zanemariti u sagledavanju upotrebnog veka armiranobetonskih
(AB) konstrukcija. Korozija izazvana hloridima bila je predmet
mnogih istraživanja proteklih godina. Za razliku od nje, u
literaturi postoji vrlo malo podataka o uticaju prslina na koroziju
armature izazvanu karbonatizacijom, pogotovo na razvoj korozije
tokom vremena. Došlo se do zaključka da deterioracija AB
konstrukcija usled korozije armature izazvane karbonatizacijom
predstavlja jedan od glavnih problema trajnosti širom sveta,
imajući u vidu da je veliki broj infrastrukturnih objekata izložen
okruženju bogatom ugljen–dioksidom (CO2). Zbog toga je
karbonatizacija postala važno pitanje u analizi trajnosti AB
konstrukcija. Da bi se generisalo novo znanje i doprinelo poboljs
anju postojećih standarda i inz enjerske prakse, razvijena je
odgovarajuća eksperimentalna postavka kako bi se ispitao uticaj
prslina na dubinu karbonatizacije i trajnost AB elemenata
napravljenih od različitih vrsta betona...

▼ Pavements are one of the most important components of a city’s infrastructure covering significant portions of urban land while simultaneously generating negative impacts such as the increase of urban temperature, lack of clear surface for rainwater percolation and traffic noise. In order to minimize the negative impact of pavements, several agencies have increased requirements for pavement sustainability, with pervious
concrete being proposed as one of the leading materials to achieve this goal. The main characteristic of pervious
concrete is its interconnected network of pores around the
aggregate, which allows rainwater to percolate directly to the soil, potentially lowering pavement temperatures, improving skid resistance and reducing noise generation due to acoustic absorption. The purpose of this research is to further optimize the performance and enhance sustainability of pervious
concrete by using waste materials, particularly Ground Granulated Blast Slag (GGBS), to partially replace cement, and
Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) to replace virgin coarse
aggregate. The proposed methodology will have two steps, focusing on each of the aforementioned materials. Each
concrete mixture will be tested for compressive strength, permeability, unit weight and durability. The successful completion of this project would promote the use of pervious
concrete in pavements by developing
concrete mixtures with optimized properties, lower cost, reduced CO2 footprint and high
recycled material content.

▼ A significant portion of municipal solid waste has traditionally been addressed through recycling; however, the recycling market has become unreliable due to the stringent contamination regulations imposed by China’s new recycling policy. Solid waste can be addressed through incineration which reduces the volume of the waste. Waste-to-Energy facilities provide an efficient means to carry out the incineration process by generating electricity through steam generation. Although it is not completely waste free, this process leaves a by-product known as municipal solid waste incinerator ash that can be further refined into a lightweight sand material known as reclaimed sands. This work investigates the use of reclaimed sands from the York County Solid Waste Authority in York, PA as a partial replacement for fine aggregates to make internally cured
concrete. In internally cured
concrete, interior particles release water during the cement hydration process and effectively help the mix cure from the inside out. This leads to a less permeable
concrete that increases the freeze-thaw resistance, reduces chloride permeability, and improves the shrinkage resistance of the material. Reclaimed sands are effective internal curing aggregates, since they have a high absorption capacity and the ability to desorb water at a high relative humidity. The testing performed in this work explores the durability of internally cured
concrete manufactured with reclaimed sands by assessing the freeze thaw resistance, rapid chloride permeability, and compressive strength of the
concrete. As is discussed in later chapters of this work, it was found that reclaimed sands are a suitable replacement for lightweight
aggregate in internal curing
concrete applications.

Betong med återvunnen betong som ballast : En experimentell studie om de mekaniska egenskaperna.

▼ Det pågår just nu ett arbete inom byggindustrin att allt mer gå över till en cirkulär ekonomi för att hushålla på världens naturliga resurser. För betongtillverkningen innebär det att försöka ersätta naturballast med återvunnen betong som ballast. Men för tillfället finns det lagkrav som förhindrar att naturballast helt ska kunna ersättas av återvunnen betong som ballast. Det är för att det finns vissa fysikaliska egenskaper, så som att porositeten ökar, som gör att de mekaniska egenskaperna blir sämre när naturballast ersätts med återvunnen betong som ballast. Detta examensarbete utfördes genom experimentella studier. Undersökningen utfördes i mekanik- och betonglaboratorium på Högskolan i Borås. Det utfördes en storskalig gjutningsserie där betongavfall från Ulricehamns Betong AB (UBAB) och Hedareds Sand & Betong AB (HEDA) prövades som ballastersättare till 50 och 100 %. För samtliga försök uppmättes både sättmått och betongens mekaniska egenskaper. Resultaten från betong med återvunnen betong som ballast (RAC) jämfördes med referensbetongen. Referensbetongen är baserad på ett känt- och beprövat originalrecept från UBAB respektive HEDA. Betongen med återvunnen betong som ballast är baserad på modifieringar som gjorts på referensrecept. Målet med studien var att undersöka hur återvunnen betong som ballast i betongblandningen påverkar betongens mekaniska egenskaper så som tryckhållfasthet, spräckhållfasthet och elasticitetsmodul. De testerna utfördes på gjutna cylindrar efter 28 dygn, tryckhållfastheten var också testad efter 7 dygn. Böjdraghållfasthet testades på balkar efter 28 dagar. Sedan utvärderades dessa resultat för att se hur de mekaniska egenskaperna förändras när en större del återvunnen betong som ballast används i recepten. Resultaten varierar litegrann för de olika provningarna. Denna studie styrker tesen att minskningen av tryckhållfastheten, efter 28 dagars härdning, som sker när återvunnen betong som ballast (RCA) används är inom intervallet 5–24 %. Provningarna av elasticitetsmodulen uppvisar liknande tendenser som tidigare forskning då betongen blir lite mindre styv när naturballast (NA) ersätts av RCA. Den styrker även tidigare forskning där böjdraghållfastheten är större vid ökade RCA-mängder. Då det för HEDA-recepten uppvisades en ökning med 9 procentenheter när all NA ersattes med RCA. Spräckhållfastheten uppvisade samma tendenser som böjdraghållfastheten. Det resultatet är däremot inte i linje med vad som har visats i tidigare forskning, då spräckhållfastheten har i de studierna minskat vid högre ersättningsandelar.
Work in the construction industry is currently underway to move to a circular economy to preserve the world’s natural resources. For concrete production this means trying to replace natural aggregate with recycled concrete aggregate. But for the time being there are standard allows that prevent natural aggregate from being completely replaced by recycled concrete aggregate. This is because there are certain physical properties, such as an increase…

▼ As the construction industry is rapidly growing, the importance given to sustainable construction techniques has increased, to protect the environment and the limited reserves of natural resources. In order to reduce the negative environmental impact of the construction industry and to meet the increasing global demand for raw materials, the significance of recycling and reusing construction waste has increased over the years. Considering the wide applications of
concrete and the large consumption of coarse aggregates used in
concrete on a global scale, using
Recycled Aggregate (RA) in
concrete is an environment-friendly and sustainable construction alternative. However,
Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC) does not exhibit adequate structural performance due to its inferior material properties compared to those of Natural
Aggregate Concrete (NAC). At present, RAC is restricted to limited structural use and is extensively used only in pavements and as shotcrete in tunnels. Some previous studies have shown that RAC with adequate structural performance can be produced using various techniques. In this study, the particular technique of adding another material, Steel Fibre (SF), is investigated. SF improves the mechanical performance of RAC and makes it suitable for structural applications, especially under flexural load. This research aims to replace NAC with RAC that incorporates SF. The use of the new material, Steel Fibre Reinforced
Recycled Aggregate Concrete (SFRRAC), in fabricating structural members subjected to flexure is proposed to gain advantages in terms of environmental effects, production costs and structural properties. Structural members fabricated using a new material such as SFRRAC should be designed according to proper design models and guidelines. The current design guidelines are limited to NAC and cannot be directly applied to SFRRAC due to the change in the material properties. This research proposes a design model for SFRRAC beam cross-sections under flexure, developed using a reliability based framework consisting of the following four parts: (i) a new theoretical model development for predicting the moment-capacities of SFRRAC beam cross-sections; (ii) experimental investigation of SFRRAC specimens at material-level and member level; (iii) numerical investigation on SFRRAC beams using Finite Element Analysis (FEA); and (iv) capacity factor calibration for a SFRRAC flexural capacity prediction model using the theoretical predictions and the adaptively combined database of experimental and FEA results.

▼ Recycled materials replacing part of virgin materials in highway applications has shown great benefits to the society and environment. Beneficial use of
recycled materials can save landfill places, sparse natural resources, and energy consumed in milling and hauling virgin materials. Low price of
recycled materials is favorable to cost-saving in pavement projects. Considering the availability of
recycled materials in the State of Maryland (MD), four abundant
recycled materials,
recycled concrete aggregate (RCA),
recycled asphalt pavement (RAP), foundry sand (FS), and dredged materials (DM), were studied. A survey was conducted to collect the information of current usage of the four
recycled materials in States’ Department of Transportation (DOTs). Based on literature review, mechanical and environmental properties, recommendations, and suggested test standards were investigated separately for the four
recycled materials in different applications. Constrains in using these materials were further studied in order to provide recommendations for the development of related MD specifications. To measure social and environmental benefits from using
recycled materials, life-cycle assessment was carried out with life-cycle analysis (LCA) program, PaLATE, and green highway rating system, BEST-in-Highway.
The survey results indicated the wide use of RAP and RCA in hot mix asphalt (HMA) and graded
aggregate base (GAB) respectively, while FS and DM are less used in field. Environmental concerns are less, but the possibly low quality and some adverse mechanical characteristics may hinder the widely use of these
recycled materials. Technical documents and current specifications provided by State DOTs are good references to the usage of these materials in MD. Literature review showed consistent results with the survey. Studies from experimental research or site tests showed satisfactory performance of these materials in highway applications, when the substitution rate, gradation, temperature, moisture, or usage of additives, etc. meet some requirements. The results from LCA revealed significant cost savings in using
recycled materials. Energy and water consumption, gas emission, and hazardous waste generation generally showed reductions to some degree. Use of new
recycled technologies will contribute to more sustainable highways.

▼ A indústria da construção civil é grande consumidora de recursos naturais através da extração de matérias-primas não renováveis. Além disso, é responsável pela geração de Resíduos de Construção e Demolição (RCD), comumente descartados de forma inapropriada, resultando em grandes impactos ambientais. Por isso, torna-se necessária a busca de alternativas que diminuam esse impacto, visando à prática da sustentabilidade. Estudos vêm sendo realizados com o objetivo de viabilizar a reciclagem deste resíduo através da sua utilização como agregados na produção de novos concretos. Porém, suas elevadas porosidade e heterogeneidade provocam uma grande variação nas propriedades do agregado, agindo como restrições ao seu potencial aproveitamento, uma vez que os concretos produzidos com RCD apresentam características mecânicas também variáveis. Assim, a fim de melhorar a qualidade destes agregados, esse estudo se propôs a aprimorar a utilização do jigue a ar,
equipamento utilizado na mineração que realiza separação densitária dos grãos, eliminando a variável do tamanho do grão na eficácia da separação por meio do peneiramento do material em pequenas faixas granulométricas, e testando o material gerado como agregado graúdo na produção de novos concretos. Para isso, foram moldados corpos de prova de concretos com três tipos de agregados graúdos reciclados (não jigado, jigado na granulometria completa e jigado em faixas granulométricas reduzidas), além de um concreto referência produzido com agregado graúdo natural (AGN). Com o objetivo de avaliar a relação entre o processamento do RCD e o desempenho dos concretos, foi realizada a caracterização dos agregados, ensaios mecânicos de resistência à compressão, módulo de elasticidade e absorção de água por capilaridade, buscando uma estimativa de durabilidade. Para uma maior confiabilidade, foi realizada uma análise estatística e comparativa dos resultados obtidos. Os ensaios de caracterização
dos agregados mostraram que a jigagem é um método eficaz para a seleção dos agregados reciclados, aumentando valores de massa específica e reduzindo sua lamelaridade, resultados que foram ainda mais acentuados nos materiais jigados em faixas granulométricas menores. Ainda, o processamento dos materiais na granulometria completa apresentou uma melhora nas características mecânicas dos concretos em relação aos que foram produzidos com agregados não jigados, mas o peneiramento do RCD antes da jigagem apresentou vantagens do ponto de vista de sustentabilidade apenas para a produção de concretos com resistências até 20 MPa, sendo capaz de reduzir o consumo de cimento em relação aos concretos de mesma resistência produzidos com AGN. Para resistências acima dos 20 MPa, o peneiramento do RCD só se mostrou efetivo nos ensaios de absorção, reduzindo os valores e chegando mais perto dos resultados dos concretos produzidos com agregado natural, enquanto os acréscimos na resistência à compressão
e no módulo de elasticidade em geral não se mostraram significativos.

▼ Grande parte das pesquisas com agregados provenientes da britagem de resíduos de construção e demolição (RCD) tem como foco principal o comportamento mecânico de concretos compostos com estes agregados. Este trabalho tem por objetivo o estudo das propriedades de concretos com agregados reciclados de concreto (ARC), abordando além das propriedades mecânicas de resistência à compressão e tração, questões relacionadas à durabilidade com ênfase na carbonatação. Para controlar as características do concreto reciclado, estes foram produzidos em laboratório com as seguintes resistências 18, 37 e 50 MPa, com o intuito de resultar em três agregados com porosidades distintas. Após 63 dias de cura submersa, este concreto foi britado e empregado como substituição parcial do agregado natural (AN) em um novo concreto que, por sua vez, foi moldado com uma relação água/aglomerante de 0,64. O ARC foi empregado em substituição ao AN em diversos teores (0, 25, 50, 75 e 100%). Previamente ao emprego, o ARC foi pré-molhado com teores de 0, 25, 50, 75 e 100% da água relativa à absorção total do resíduo. Para a verificação da durabilidade deste novo concreto quando exposto ao CO2, empregou-se o ensaio acelerado de carbonatação, realizado em câmara de alimentação contínua com atmosfera de 1% de concentração de CO2 e umidade relativa de 70% 5%, na qual os concretos permaneceram durante 147 dias. Os resultados obtidos a partir da leitura da profundidade carbonatada nas idades estudadas apresentam um comportamento semelhante tanto para os concretos de referência, quanto para os concretos que incorporam ARC. Somente para concretos que incorporam um alto percentual de substituição nota-se um ligeiro aumento da profundidade de carbonatação em relação aos concretos de referência. Com base nestes resultados pode-se inferir que até um percentual de 50% de substituição do AN por ARC com qualquer teor de pré-molhagem, a profundidade de carbonatação observada é a mesma para concretos com ARC e concretos de referência.
Much of the research with aggregates from crushing of construction and demolition waste (CDW) has focused primarily on the mechanical behavior of concrete made with these aggregates. This research aims at to study the properties of concrete made with recycled concrete aggregates (RCA), besides addressing the mechanical properties, the durability issues will be focused on the carbonation. To control the characteristics of recycled aggregate, they were produced in the laboratory with the water/cement ratios: 0,85, 0,56 and 0,43, in order to result in three types of aggregates with different porosities. After 63 days of curing under water, the concrete was crushed and used as partial replacement of natural aggregate (NA) in a new concrete which was made with a water/cement ratio of 0,64. The RCA was used to replace the NA at various levels of 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%. Prior to employ the RCA, it has been pre-wetted with levels of 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% of water absorption on the total residue. To check the durability of the new concrete…

▼ A utilização do concreto reciclado oriundo do beneficiamento do resíduo de construção e demolição (RCD), em substituição a agregados naturais pode ser transformado em um co-produto, além de permitir a preservação de fontes naturais de extração e redução de locais de disposição do resíduo. Dentre os diversos materiais que constituem os RCD, uma forte opção para a reciclagem é a utilização do resíduo de concreto oriundo da demolição de construções, rejeitos de concreteiras e indústrias de pré-fabricados, pois estes materiais apresentam homogeneidade e presença insignificante de contaminantes quando comparados aos demais resíduos de construção e demolição. Com o objetivo de avaliar a implementação de uso de agregado reciclado de concreto (ARC) na fabricação de peças em uma empresa de pré-fabricados de concreto, foi realizado um diagnóstico da geração de resíduos na empresa; a caracterização das propriedades dos resíduos de concreto com maior potencial de reciclagem; e a produção de concretos com ARC, em um estudo de caso. Dois tipos de resíduos, RCC - oriundo de cura convencional (ao ar) e RCT - oriundo de cura a vapor, foram coletados e cominuídos na forma de agregado graúdo a fim de se verificar as eventuais alterações em suas propriedades. Os concretos com ARC foram produzidos, tanto no laboratório quanto na indústria, com CPV-ARI, aditivo superplastificante, cinza volante, substituição de 50% dos agregados naturais graúdos pelo ARC; adição de água de compensação à mistura e relação a/agl 0,49; e determinadas a consistência, a resistência à compressão e a absorção de água por capilaridade. O estudo desenvolvido na empresa de pré-fabricados demonstrou que, de maneira geral, os agregados gerados a partir do RCC e do RCT apresentam diferenças entre si, devido ao tipo de cura realizada nos concretos de origem; que os concretos produzidos com ARCC apresentam características iguais ou superiores em relação ao concreto de referência, enquanto os produzidos com ARCT possuem desempenho inferior ao mesmo, e que a reciclagem dos resíduos na própria empresa geradora, se não for encarada como uma ação estratégica para a empresa, possivelmente será descartada, em função das dificuldades relacionadas com a implementação do processo de reciclagem
The use of recycled concrete coming from the processing of construction and demolition waste (CDW) in replacement of natural aggregates makes it a co-product, and allows the preservation of natural sources of extraction and reduces the need for waste disposal . Among several materials that constitute the CDW, a strong option for recycling is the use of waste arising from demolition of concrete buildings, concrete mixe producers and precast industrial waste, This option that is because these materials have negligible homogeneity and presence of contaminants compared to the other construction and demolition waste. In order to evaluate the possibility of using recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) for the manufacture of parts in a company of precast concrete, was made a diagnosis of waste…
