— 1. Introduction. Concrete is the most used construction material, with estimated annual production of 10 billion cubic meters [1].Since 60–80% of the concrete volume is taken by aggregates, the overall consumption of natural aggregates (sand and gravel) is very high, generating huge pressure on surrounding ecosystems [2].The environmental …
— The relevant characteristics of aggregates are categorized into physical characteristics and geological characteristics. It is found that shape, texture and …
— Based on source and type, the aggregates are primarily classified into four different categories, namely stone deposit, sand and gravel deposit, industrial byproducts, and manufactured aggregates (Table 2.1).Generally, the stone deposits are the prime source of aggregate for pavement construction, however, there is limited availability of …
— 2.1. Cement and Sand (Fine Aggregate) According to IS 8112-2013 [], 43 grade ordinary Portland cement (OPC) was employed as a binder during the whole investigation.A sieve test was used to assess the cement fineness and observed that the residue on 90 µ sieve was 8%, which is less than 10%, as required for OPC.

— When the recycled coarse aggregate content was , the slump of fresh concrete decreased by 13%. This can be explained by the recycled aggregate having a rough surface. Zega et al. studied fresh structural concretes with different percentages of recycled fine concrete aggregates (0%, 20%, and 30%). The recycled aggregate with a …
However, a systematic microstructural characterization of recycled aggregate concrete has not been reported. This work studies the use of fine recycled aggregate to replace fine natural aggregate in the production of concrete and reports the resulting microstructures.
— This is due to the fact that the tested fine aggregates (0-2 mm) have a higher paste content than the global concrete [35], resulting in a higher C binder of NRCA than that of typical concrete. Thus, within the typical w/c ratio (0.4-0.5), the potential C unhydrated of NRCA (0-2 mm) can be calculated by Equation (6), which is between 6.2% and ...
General PSDs of different types of fine aggre-gates by the sieve test. Optical microscopy is firstly used for the general morphological characterization of two fine aggregates. This observation can give the first impression of the size and shape of two materials. Example images of the two types of fine aggregate are shown in Fig. 2.
T1 - Physical, chemical and mineralogical characterization of Dutch fine recycled concrete aggregates. T2 - A comparative study. AU - Nedeljković, Marija. AU - Visser, Jeanette. AU - Nijland, Timo G. AU - Valcke, Siska. AU - Schlangen, Erik. PY - 2021. Y1 - 2021
In this study, different types of fine aggregate used in concrete, namely river sand and crushed limestone, are selected for morphological characterization. Traditional sieve analysis and laser ...
— Strength and impact resistance properties of concrete having Fine Bone China Ceramic (FBCC) aggregate as fine aggregates was studied by Siddique et al. [6]. They reported that, replacement of natural river sand by FBCC aggregate results in enhanced mechanical strength and impact resistance properties, which was validated by …
— A reference mix with an average compressive strength of around 60 MPa is considered. Recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) powder and recycled mixed plastic [polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE)] granules were adopted to substitute fine and coarse aggregates. Two different substitution strategies were employed.
— The materials used in this study were ordinary Portland cement CEM I 42.5 grade, conforming to British Standards [11], granite of maximum particle size of 12.5 mm and granulometric modulus of 6.95, river sand of maximum particle size of 4 mm and granulometric modulus of 2.24, ceramic waste coarse aggregates of granulometric …
It is used for concrete mix design and if not specified the specific gravity is taken as 2.7 because the specific gravity of most aggregates obtained from different sources falls between 2.6 and 2.8.. 5.Surface Texture of fine aggregates: Generally, round surface aggregates are better for smooth aggregates, this property is also related to coarse …
replacement of concrete crushing aggregate between 15%–60% of the coarse fraction for the manufacture of structural concrete. Not all this waste is recycled, however, for the crushing entailed to produce aggregate of suitable particle size generates fine, <5 mm particle materials, comprising primarily fine aggregates,
Fine aggregate can be found in four different moisture conditions namely: oven-dry (OD), air-dry (AD), saturated-surface dry (SSD) and wet. Only OD and SSD correspond to a specific moisture state and can be used as …
However, a systematic microstructural characterization of recycled aggregate concrete has not been reported. This work studies the use of fine recycled aggregate to replace fine natural aggregate in the production of concrete and reports the resulting microstructures.
