In this study, the steel fiber and the polypropylene fiber were used to enhance the mechanical properties of fully recycled coarse aggregate concrete. Natural crushed stone was replaced with recycled coarse aggregate at 100% by volume. The steel fiber and polypropylene fiber were used as additive material by incorporating into the mixture. In this test two parameters were considered: (a) steel fiber volume ratio (i.e., 0%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%), (b) polypropylene fiber volume ratio (i.e., 0%, 0.1%, 0.15%, 0.2%). The results showed that compared with no fiber, the integrity of cubes or cylinders mixed with fibers after failure was better. When the volume ratio of steel fiber was 1~2%, the width of mid-span crack after flexural failure was 5~8 mm. In addition, when the volume ratio of polypropylene fiber was 0.15%, with the increase of steel fiber content, the static elastic modulus and toughness of axial compression first increased and then decreased, and the flexural strength increased, with a range of 6.5%~20.3%. Besides, when the volume ratio of steel fiber was 1.5%, with the increase of polypropylene fiber content, the static elastic modulus decreased, with a range of 7.0%~10.5%. The ratio of axial compression toughness first increased and then decreased, with a range of 2.2%~8.7%. The flexural strength decreased, with a range of 2.7%~12.6%. On the other hand, the calculation formula of static elastic modulus and cube compressive strength of fully recycled coarse aggregate with steel-polypropylene fiber was fitted, and the optimal fiber content within the scope of the test were put forward.

Environmental load reduction and sustainable development one of the study's research into the available material is discharged, remove the coarse aggregate and fine aggregate from waste concrete and utilizing the remaining cement fine powder as an alternative raw material for limestone is the main raw material of cement developing playback cement that was the purpose. Physical over existing research and chemical quality was confirmed was evaluated for durability by promoting carbonation test, research studies on the durability evaluation insignificant. As honipyul within the aggregate differential lung fine powder increases carbonation resistance performance've found that increased sharply and, S0 showed fairly similar to the OPC. Therefore, the development within the technology research to separate fine aggregate discharge fully differential and waste fine powder is determined to be the development and use of the playback durability of the cement with the carbonation levels corresponding to the OPC if made.

This study investigated the bond behavior between recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) concrete and deformed reinforcing bars. The position (i.e., vertical, horizontal) and the location (i.e., 375mm, 225mm and 75 mm) of deformed bar were considered as a main test parameter in this paper. From the test results, it was found that maximum bond strength of top reinforcement was decreased compared with that of bottom reinforcement. Also bar embedded horizontally 225mm above from base could not satisfy bond strength requirement provided in CEB-FIP code. It was caused by the fact that bonded area at the bottom of horizontal reinforcement was significantly reduced by the poring water and laitance. In this specimen, the bond strength provided by bearing stress and wedging action of concrete was not fully observed.
