This study demonstrates an integrated thermomechanical treatment process to produce high quality recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) for structural concrete. RCA is mechanically treated after 90 min of heating at 250 °C in this process. The material properties of RCA produced through 15 combinations of charges and drum revolutions are compared using a statistical method. The highest ranking of an RCA identifies it as a high-quality class. Concrete composed of 100% RCA (recycled aggregate concrete, RAC) has 1.7% higher compressive strength than natural aggregate concrete (NAC). RAC has tensile and flexural strengths of 0.95 and 1.03 in fraction of NAC. RAC meets durability criteria such as UPV greater than 4.4 km/s, rapid chloride ion penetration test (RCPT) less than 1000 C, electrical resistivity greater than 208 Ohm-m, and sorptivity closer to NAC. Water absorption and abrasion resistance are similar to or superior to those of NAC. Coherent and uniform surface morphology of RCA enhances the ITZ microstructure in RAC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
