Stress–Strain Relationship Model of Recycled Concrete Based on Strength and Replacement Rate of Recycled Coarse Aggregate
Publication: Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering
Volume 31, Issue 9
Abstract
The use of recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) can reduce the consumption of natural coarse aggregate (NCA) and preserve the natural environment. The accurate calculation of the compressive stress-strain relationship of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) is very important in designing the recycled concrete structure. In this paper, experiments on compressive stress-strain based on five strength grades and six replacement rates of RCA from 0 to 60% were designed. The prism specimens of a height-to-width ratio of 3 were used to conduct the experiments under uniaxial compression load. The complete stress-strain curves were obtained by the experiments, and the ascending and descending branches of the experimental stress-strain curves are discussed separately. Based on the experimental results and by introducing the shape parameter of the stress-strain curve, a theoretical model of the stress-strain relationship considering the strength and replacement rate of recycled coarse aggregate was established. Through comparison and analysis, the stress-strain curve of RAC obtained by the suggested model has good fitting accuracy.
