  17. Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) Objectives Determine the fracture properties of concrete • virgin and recycled coarse aggregate • w/ and w/o structural fibers • Effects of concrete drying shrinkage with recycled coarse aggregate

  18. Results – Virgin vs RCA • Similar peak loads • Virgin GF is 1.6 times larger than RCA GF

  19. Results – Virgin FRC vs RCA FRC • Similar peak loads • Similar softening curves • Similar GF

  20. RCA Shrinkage

  21. Concrete Slab Behavior • Curling stresses • temperature • moisture • Joint Opening • Load transfer • Dowel vs. no dowel

  39. Curling Questions • How does shrinkage effect slab size? • What are the combined effect of moisture/temperature profile? • What is the role concrete creep? • How do other concrete materials behave – FRC & SRA?

  41. Field vs Lab Lab Field

  42. Ground Granulated Blast Furnace SlagGGBFS

  43. Introduction • By product of the steel industry • Produced in blast furnaces • Highly cementitious • Hydrates similarly to Portland cement

  44. Production Iron blast furnace slag is quenched… it is then ground to a fine power

  45. Pros and Cons Improves workability Lower water demand Higher paste volume Higher strength potential Using 120 grade Longer setting time Decreased permeability Performs well in freeze thaw tests Reduces the effects of ASR Reduced heat of hydration* More susceptible to drying shrinkage Slower strength gain* Cons Pros

  46. Slag Activity Index ASTM C989 • Higher grade GGBFS can be used in larger percentages • Improves early and ultimate performance
