The Durability of Fine Recycled Aggregate Concrete

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper is focused on the durability of recycled aggregate (FRA) concrete. The durability of FRA concrete is connected with many uncertainties and doubts. This paper presents results of long-term of compressive strength, freeze – thaw resistance and carbonation depth of FRA concrete. The FRA was originated from crushed old concrete structures. There were prepared a total four concrete mixture. The first mixture was reference with natural sand. In other concrete mixtures, natural sand was replaced by the FRA in various replacement ratios, specifically 10 %, 20 % and 30 %. All prepared concrete mixtures were designated with the same parameters for clear comparison. It is possible to say that according to the durability, the FRA concrete is possible to used in the same applications as conventional concrete. However it is necessary to verify this results.
