A comparative analysis of elasticity modulus of recycled aggregate concrete with silica fume
Abstract
Recycling
of waste materials has significant influence on the concept of sustainability
in construction industry due to the conservation of natural resources and
minimizing the environmental impacts which leads to habitable future.
Construction activities, in general, result in huge amount of construction and
demolition waste (C&DW) and C&DW has a great potential for possible
disposal as recycled aggregate (RA) in civil engineering applications,
especially in recycled aggregate concrete (RAC), after recycling processes. In
this concept, concrete mixtures including RA and silica fume (SF) at various
ratios (0-30-40-70-100%) and (0-5-10%), respectively, are produced in order to
determine the elasticity modulus of RAC. This work aims to examine elasticity
modulus of RAC determined according to the formulas of standards and studies.
Analytical and statistical assessments are performed and experimental and
theoretical results are compared. When RA content increases, the elasticity
modulus decreases. SF utilization in RAC improves the mechanical parameters
(elasticity modulus and compressive strength). The American standard (ACI
318-05) predicts the elasticity modulus approximately to the experimental
results although it has the highest relative standard deviations in comparison
to the regarded standards. Moreover, proposed equations for RAC by researchers
estimate the elasticity modulus values greater than those of standards and the
experimental results. An elasticity modulus equation is also proposed for RAC
with and without SF.
