This book describes how, given the global challenge of a shortage
of natural resources in the 21st century, the recycling of waste
concrete is one of the most important means of implementing
sustainable construction development strategies. Firstly, the book
presents key findings on the micro- and meso-structure of recycled
aggregate concrete (RAC), while the second part focuses on the
mechanical properties of RAC: the strength, elastic modulus,
Poisson's ratio, stress-strain curve, etc. The third part of the
book explores research on the durability of RAC: carbonization,
chloride penetration, shrinkage and creep. It then presents key
information on the mechanical behavior and seismic performance of
RAC elements and structures: beams, columns, slabs, beam-column
joints, and frames. Lastly, the book puts forward design guidelines
for recycled aggregate concrete structures. Taken as a whole, the
research results - based on a series of investigations the author
has condu cted on the mechanical properties, durability and
structural performance of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) over
the past 10 years - demonstrate that, with proper design and
construction, it is safe and feasible to utilize RAC structures in
civil engineering applications. The book will greatly benefit
researchers, postgraduates, and engineers in civil engineering with
an interest in this field.
