An Experimental Study on the Recycled! Concrete Durability

재생 콘크리트의 내구성에 관한 실험적 연구

In this study, various tests are performed for the durability of the concrete using domestic recycled coarse aggregate including drying shrinkage, permeability, freezing-thawing resistance and $CO_2$ diffusivity. Tests of freezing-thawing resistance, chloride ion permeability and $CO_2$ diffusivity of recycled concrete show favorable results. But, the maximum drying shrinkage ratio to normal concrete is increased 24% with increasing substitution ratio of recycled aggregate. Therefore, for the use of recycled concrete in structures, the preventive measures of drying shrinkage is necessary in mix design and the adequate substitution ratio of recycled aggregate should be proposed.
