Composite effect between steel and recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) in steel reinforced-RAC (SRRAC) structures can effectively improve RAC's adverse mechanical properties due to the natural defects of recycled coarse aggregate (RCA). However, the performance of SRRAC after thermal exposure will have a great impact on the safety of the structure. In this paper, firstly, the mechanical properties of SRRAC structures after high temperatures exposure were tested, including 24 SRRAC columns and 32 SRRAC beams. Then, the change rules of beams and columns performance with the maximum temperature and replacement percentage were compared. Finally, the formulas to evaluate the residual bearing capacity of SRRAC beams and columns after exposure to high temperatures were established. The experimental results show that the maximum exposure temperature can be judged by the apparent phenomenon and mass loss ratio of RAC. After high temperatures exposure, the mechanical properties of SRRAC beams and columns change significantly, where the degradation of bearing capacity and stiffness is the most obvious. Moreover, it is found that the degradation degree of compression member is more serious than that of flexural member. The formulas of residual bearing capacity established by introducing influence coefficient of material strength agree well with the experimental results.

Today, the booming construction in Ethiopia is leading to an increased demolition of concrete structures whereby these demolished structures are disposed at landfills. The current practice is creating a huge amount of waste which is environmentally unfriendly and is becoming the main source of pollution in communities. This paper discusses the potential use of demolished concrete from site tested specimens as a recycled aggregate material for new structural concrete. The mechanical, physical and chemical properties of RCA are studied to understand the suitability in the production of recycled concrete. Tests including gradation, unit weight, soundness, density, and abrasion will be conducted to assess RCA properties. Since the percentage of RCA govern the strength of concrete, a C25 concrete is mixed by the ratio of 25%, 50% & 100% RCA with and without water reducing admixture and a control mixture composed of natural aggregate. The output of this study will highly impact the growing construction industry and communities in Ethiopia thereby reducing waste, saving cost, conserving natural aggregates, building capacity and setting quality standards.

This paper presents the effect of different micro-silica (MS) contents of 5, 10 and 15 wt.% as partial replacement of cement on mechanical and durability properties of high volume fly ash - recycled aggregate concretes (HVFA-RAC) containing 50% class F fly ash (FA) and 35% recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) as partial replacement of cement and natural coarse aggregate (NCA), respectively. The measured mechanical and durability properties are compressive strength, indirect tensile strength, elastic modulus, drying shrinkage, water sorptivity and chloride permeability. The effects of different curing ages of 7, 28, 56 and 91 days on above properties are also considered in this study. The results show that the addition of MS up to 10% improved the early age (7 days) strength properties of HVFA-RAC, however, at later ages (e.g. 28-91 days) the above mechanical properties are improved for all MS contents. The 5% MS exhibited the best performance among all MS contents for all mechanical properties of HVFA-RAC. In the case of measured durability properties, mix results are obtained, where 10% and 5% MS exhibited the lowest sorptivity and drying shrinkage, respectively at all ages. However, in the case of chloride ion permeability a decreasing trend is observed with increase in MS contents and curing ages. Strong correlations of indirect tensile strength and modulus of elasticity with square root of compressive strength are also observed in HVFA-RAC. Nevertheless, it is established in this study that MS contributes to the sustainability of HVFA-RAC significantly by improving the mechanical and durability properties of concrete containing 50%less cement and 35% less natural coarse aggregates.

In the past decades, recycling use of demolished concrete was almost limited to the types of recycled coarse aggregate with a size of about 5-40 mm and recycled fine aggregate with a size of about 0-5 mm for concrete structures, and reuse of demolished concrete lumps (DCLs) with a size much larger than that of recycled aggregate, e.g., 50-300 mm, has been limited to roadbed, backfilling materials, or discarded to landfills. Treatment processes of DCLs are much simpler than those of recycled aggregate, leading to less cost and more energy-saving. In the future, the amount of demolished concrete is estimated to be much higher, so reuse of DCLs for concrete structures will become necessary. The objectives of this paper are to document the process of making reinforced concrete beams with DCLs, and to discuss the flexural and shear behaviors of those reinforced DCL beams through an experimental program, which includes three beams filled with DCLs and one conventional beam for investigating the flexural strengths and deformations, and 12 beams filled with DCLs and two conventional beams for investigating the shear strengths and deformations. The authors hope that the proposed concept offers another sustainable solution to the concrete industry.

콘크리트용 천연골재의 공급이 어려워지고 건설폐기물은 발생량이 지속적으로 증가하고 있는 추세이다. 따라서 건설폐기물을 골재로 만든 순환골재 사용의 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 이에 순환골재를 사용한 콘크리트의 특성에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있으나 대부분의 연구들이 부정적인 결과를 나타내고 있다. 하지만 최근 연구들을 중심으로 긍정적인 연구결과들이 보고되고 있으며 그 중 순환굵은골재의 부착 모르타르의 염화물고정효과에 관한 연구도 보고되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 순환굵은골재에 비해 모르타르 함량이 많아 염화물고정에 유리하다고 예상되는 순환잔골재를 사용한 모르타르의 역학적 특성과 염화물확산을 평가한 결과 순환잔골재의 염화물고정효과를 확인했다.

순환골재를 사용한 콘크리트의 재료 및 역학 특성에 관한 대부분의 연구는 압축강도 40 MPa 이하의 콘크리트에 대하여 수행되었으며, 40 MPa 이상의 순환골재 콘크리트에 대한 역학적 특성에 대한 연구결과는 미비하다. 따라서, 이 연구에서는 순환골재 사용의 확대를 위해 40 MPa 이상의 순환골재 콘크리트의 압축강도 및 역학 특성을 파악하였다. 순환골재 콘크리트의 역학 특성을 파악하기 위하여 콘크리트 압축강도 및 순환굵은골재 치환율을 실험변수로 고려하였다. 실험변수로서 콘크리트의 압축강도는 45 및 60 MPa이고, 순환골재 치환율은 30, 50, 70 및 100%이다. 실험변수에 따른 순환골재 콘크리트의 압축강도, 탄성계수, 인장강도 및 파괴계수 특성을 분석하였다. 실험결과는 고강도 콘크리트일수록 순환골재 치환율에 따른 압축강도 감소량이 작은 것을 나타낸다. 탄성계수 실험결과와 기존설계코드에 의한 탄성계수 예측결과를 비교하였으며, 설계코드에 의한 예측결과는 실험결과를 과다평가하고 있다. 반면에 설계코드에 의한 파괴계수 예측결과와 실험결과는 잘 일치한다.

Thermal insulation performance of new insulation packaging made of recycled PET nonwoven (thickness : 10 mm) was verified by conducting comparative experiment with an EPS box (thickness : 25 mm) and a double wall corrugated box (thickness : 7 mm). Three ice packs (300 g) were positioned 200 mm above the bottom inside each box, all of which are placed side by side and temperature change of 2 points (5mm under middle icepack and 130 mm under middle icepack) was recorded by data logger (GL-840, Graphtec) for 16 hours under the environment of 29℃. The new packaging box showed 75% higher insulation performance than the EPS box and 180% higher than the corrugated box. In order to figure out the reason for insulation performance difference among boxes, thermal conductivities of each box material were measured using heat flow meter (HFM436 lamda, Netzsch). U-value (thermal conductivity divided by thickness) of EPS was lower than recycled pet nonwoven by 57%, which seemed to be opposite to the result of insulation test of boxes. This was explained by high water vapor transmission rate of EPS (6 times higher than PET insulation) and air pocket effect of PET insulation.

This paper simulates the hysteretic behavior of steel reinforced recycled concrete (SRRC) columns under cyclic loads using OpenSees software. The effective fiber model and displacement-based beam-column element in OpenSees is applied to each SRRC columns. The Concrete01 material model for recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) and Steel02 material model is proposed to perform the numerical simulation of columns. The constitutive models of RAC, profile steel and rebars in columns were assigned to each fiber element. Based on the modelling method, the analytical models of SRRC columns are established. It shows that the calculated hysteresis loops of most SRRC columns agree well with the test curves. In addition, the parameter studies (i.e., strength grade of RAC, stirrups strength, steel strength and steel ratio) on seismic performance of SRRC columns were also investigated in detail by OpenSees. The calculation results of parameter analysis show that SRRC columns suffered from flexural failure has good seismic performance through the reasonable design. The ductility and bearing capacity of columns increases as the increasing magnitude of steel strength, steel ratio and stirrups strength. Although the bearing capacity of columns increases as the strength grade of RAC increases, the ductility and energy dissipation capacity decreases gradually. Based on the test and numerical results, the flexural failure mechanism of SRRC columns were analysed in detail. The computing theories of the normal section of bearing capacity for the eccentrically loaded columns were adopted to calculate the nominal bending strength of SRRC columns subjected to vertical axial force under lateral cyclic loads. The calculation formulas of horizontal bearing capacity for SRRC columns were proposed based on their nominal bending strength.

본 논문은 콘크리트 배합 방식(NMA, TSMA1, TSMA2)에 따른 순환 굵은골재 치환량에 따른 콘크리트의 기계적 성능을 비교 평가하였다. 실험은 순환 굵은골재를 0%, 50%, 100%로 3수준으로 콘크리트의 배합 방식에 따라 실험을 진행하였다. 굳지 않은 콘크리트에서는 공기량, 슬럼프, 단위용적질량 실험을 진행하였으며, 경화 콘크리트에서는 압축강도 및 휨강도 시험을 진행하였다. 본 연구의 실험결과 NMA 방식과 비교하여 TSMA 방식에서 강도 저하가 나타나고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 하지만, 이는 순환 굵은골재가 다량 치환됨에 따른 것으로 사료된다. 순환 굵은골재가 다량 치환됨에 따라 슬럼프 증진, 공기량 증진, 강도 저하가 나타남을 확인하였다.
