Abstract:
In this paper, the base force element method (BFEM) on damage mechanics is used to analyze the fracture properties of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) on meso-level. The recycled aggregate concrete is taken as five-phase composites consisting of natural coarse aggregate, new mortar, new interfacial transition zone(ITZ), old mortar and old ITZ on meso-level. The random aggregate model is used to simulate the meso-structure of recycled aggregate concrete. The size effects of mechanics properties of RAC under uniaxial tension loading are simulated using the BFEM on damage mechanics. The simulation results agree with the test results. This analysis method is the new way for investigating fracture mechanism and numerical simulation of mechanical properties for recycled aggregate concrete.
