Abstract
The utilization of recycled aggregates and various industrial by-products is considered a sustainable strategy in the concrete industry. In this study, the effect of the maximum size of recycled coarse aggregate and the cementitious binder content on fresh and hardened properties of self-compacting concrete was investigated. Self-compacting concretes with maximum aggregate sizes of 9.5 mm, 12.5 mm, and 19 mm were prepared at water-to-binder ratios of 0.39, 0.42, and 0.45, respectively. For all mixtures, 100% recycled aggregate was used as coarse aggregate and 60% of cement was replaced by industrial by-products, i.e., fly ash and ground granulated blast furnace slag. The tests included slump flow, air content, hardened density, compressive strength, elastic modulus, and splitting tensile strength. The results showed that the increase in maximum aggregate size and binder content tended to improve both fresh and hardened properties of self-compacting concrete.
期刊介绍:
Periodica Polytechnica Civil Engineering is a peer reviewed scientific journal published by the Faculty of Civil Engineering of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. It was founded in 1957. Publication frequency: quarterly.
Periodica Polytechnica Civil Engineering publishes both research and application oriented papers, in the area of civil engineering.
The main scope of the journal is to publish original research articles in the wide field of civil engineering, including geodesy and surveying, construction materials and engineering geology, photogrammetry and geoinformatics, geotechnics, structural engineering, architectural engineering, structural mechanics, highway and railway engineering, hydraulic and water resources engineering, sanitary and environmental engineering, engineering optimisation and history of civil engineering. The journal is abstracted by several international databases, see the main page.
