| Abstract | A huge volume of waste is generated by natural and human-made disasters and by rapid urbanization that leads to the demolition of structures reaching the end of their service life. Using recycled aggregates in concrete producing reduces environmental pollution by decreasing the disposal of this waste material in landfills and preserving unreasonable exploitation of natural resources. This manuscript presents the results of an experimental program aiming to study the effect of recycled aggregates on the physical and the mechanical properties of roller compacted concrete (RCC). A Dreux-Gorisse mix design method together with the modified proctor test were adopted to prepare a reference mixture with natural aggregates with three derived mixtures where coarse aggregates were replaced by 50%, 70%, and 100% of recycled aggregates. The physical properties of RCC were evaluated by means of water absorption and gas permeability tests while the mechanical properties were evaluated using compressive, tensile splitting and 3-point flexural tests. The results of physical tests showed that both water absorption ability and gas permeability increase proportionally with the replacement ratios. The results of the mechanical tests showed that the compressive strength class was approximately constant for all developed mixtures at the age of 28 days. For a substitution ratio of 100%, a drop in the compressive strength of only 6% was recorded. The reduction in the tensile and flexural strength was more pronounced than the compressive strength and was about 10% for the mixture of 100% recycled aggregates. It was found that the strength increases with time, and it can be estimated at any age using the analytical models adopted for conventional hydraulic concretes. Based on the obtained results, it was concluded that recycled aggregates up to 50% don't negatively affect the physical and mechanical properties of RCC. |
