Aug 18, 2020 History. Recycled concrete aggregates or Crushed concrete aggregates has been in use since the ancient times, only to be integrated with gravel, sand, and cement to ensure durability. The practice was first recorded in the 1860s. US construction companies were reluctant to use the technique at first since crushing cured concrete proved to be much more cost-intensive in terms of labor.
Sep 02, 2020 The optimal soaking time and nanosilica concentration were chosen by the physical properties of the nanosilica-modified recycled aggregate. Recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) and nanosilica recycled aggregate concrete (SRAC) were fabricated by using ordinary recycled aggregate and nanosilica-modified recycled aggregate. Based on the comparative experimental study of basic mechanical properties ...
The concrete is manufactured using cement, sand, gravel and water as the main components materials. The active material in concrete is cement which binds other materials physically and chemically with water and solidifies. Sometimes admixtures are used in concrete to enhance its properties. 1. Cement There are various types of cements used for manufacture of
construction, mechanical properties and durability of concrete. When the nano materials was applied in modified concrete, due to its large surface area and surface energy characteristics, nanomaterials would absorb a large amount of free water, resulting in too little water in the concrete, which cant be fully
Once processed, the aggregates are handled and stored to minimize segregation and degradation and prevent contamination. Aggregates strongly influence concretes freshly mixed and hardened properties, mixture proportions, and economy. Consequently, selection of aggregates is an important process. Although some variation in aggregate properties ...

In the last decade within concrete research, alkali-activated concrete is reported to be the hot topic. Many research projects are being carried out world-wide on aspects like reaction and chemistry of alkali-acted materials, mechanical properties and durability.
Additionally, concrete may also contain cement extenders (as part of the cementitious material) as well as concrete admixtures, which are typically added to the concrete during the mixing stage. All these materials play certain roles in the concrete mix and have an impact on the fresh and hardened properties of the concrete. Altering any of the characteristics of the constituents therefore ...
Mar 20, 2018 2.2. Mixture Proportion and Experiment Specimen. As shown in Table 2, the water to cement ratios of 0.47 and 0.53 are determined depending on the mixture proportions of control concrete.Mixture proportion of recycled aggregate concrete is obtained by using recycled coarse aggregate as the same weight to replace the natural aggregate of the control concrete at 16.7%, 33.3%, 50%, 66.7%, and 100%.
Aggregates are generally thought of as inert filler within a concrete mix. But a closer look reveals the major role and influence aggregate plays in the properties of both fresh and hardened concrete. Changes in gradation, maximum size, unit weight, and moisture content can all alter
Coarse aggregates have properties such as size, shape, moisture contents, specific gravity, density etc. which affects concrete strength and durability in many ways. These effect of aggregate properties on concrete are discussed in detail. Concrete is a mixture of cementitious material, aggregate and water.
May 02, 2017 Strength of concrete is also affected by the properties of coarse aggregates besides water-cement ratio and other properties. The lower the water to cement ratio, the more the effect of coarse aggregates on the strength of concrete. Undesired properties of coarse aggregate may affect the strength, durability, and performance of concrete negatively.
