Abstract
In this study, recycled aggregate and natural aggregate were mixed in advance using an aggregate mixing facility that was developed to improve the quality of recycled aggregate concrete. Then the mixed aggregate was applied and concrete characteristics before and after a mix were considered. Based on the findings extracted, this study aimed to suggest a new direction for quality stabilization and application activation of recycled aggregate. The test results of change rates of mortars and coarse aggregates in fresh concrete mixed by a concrete mixer, before and after mixing aggregates showed that the variations of the mortars and coarse aggregates in the concrete mixed with the aggregates beforehand were decreased than those in the concrete before mixing them. The variation of compressive strength and the mean compressive strength at the ages of 3 and 7 days showed similar results before and after the aggregates were mixed, and the strength at the age of 28 days before and after mixing them showed larger deviation than that at the ages of 3 and 7 days. The use of the mixed aggregates after mixing aggregates beforehand reduced the variation in strength and is believed that it is advantageous for long-age strength development. The above results show that the variations of coarse aggregates and compressive strength in the concrete using the mixed aggregates produced by mixing recycled aggregates and natural aggregates beforehand are reduced so it will be possible to produce the homogeneous concrete by mixing aggregates beforehand.
