Abstract:
Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC) is referred to as Recycled Concrete (RC). In this paper, the compression performance of recycled concrete was researched using the micromechanics. The recycled concrete was taken as a five-phase composite material consisting of recycled coarse aggregate, old hardened cement paste, new hardened cement paste, the old interfacial transition zone (Old ITZ) and the new interfacial transition zone (New ITZ) on meso-level. A random aggregate model was used to simulate the meso-structure of recycled concrete. The propagation process of cracks and the mechanical properties of uniaxial compression specimens of recycled concrete were simulated using finite element method (FEM) with damage model. The numerical simulation results agree well with the corresponding experimental results. The results show that the specimen usually damaged along the old interfacial transition zone and the new interfacial transition zone.
