Experimental Investigation on the Properties of a Recycled Aggregate Concrete Based on Waste of the Industrial Mineral Additions
Abstract
This study investigates the possible effects of incorporating different industry wastes during manufacturing of concrete, with percentages ranging from 0% to 30%, and assesses the influence of these combinations (mineral additions and recycled aggregates) on the properties of a recycled concrete comprised of these two main constituents products. Recycled concrete samples with different combinations of mineral additions at various dosages were used to determine these properties in the fresh and hardened states. The ”Design-expert” methodology was used to analyse the results after 7, 14 and 28 days, identifying correlations and the effects of the different variables. The results obtained showed the advantageous effect of incorporating the pozzolana and slag into the concrete mixture at dosages of 15% and 30%, they also demonstrated the low optimal percentage of marble fillers of 5%. These findings suggest that replacing clinker with industrial waste could limit the dust and CO2 emissions into the atmosphere during concrete manufacture, offering environmental advantages as well as conserving the natural resources of aggregate recovery from C&D wastes.
Keywords: environmental concrete, mineral additions, recycled aggregate, design expert method.
