The Effect of Recycled Coarse Aggregate Replacement Level on the Mechanical Properties of Concrete

순환굵은골재 치환율에 따른 콘크리트의 역학적 특성

This experimental study is to evaluate the effects of recycled coarse aggregate replacement level on the mechanical properties of concrete produced at Batcher plant. The main test parameter was replacement level of recycled coarse aggregate with the ratio of 0, 30, 60 and 100% to the natural coarse aggregate. From the test results, it was found that compressive strength, elastic modulus and splitting strength are decreased with the increased proportion of replacement level. Therefore, some design coefficients or recommendations for elastic modulus and splitting strength of concrete need to be reconsidered with minor reduction factor of '0.85'.
