Summary
The shortage of concrete materials has become increasingly prominent in the building industry. Waste concrete recycling is an effective way to overcome this resource shortage, which attracts the most interest from researchers to builders. Therefore, significant researches have been conducted, and some recycling techniques have been successfully applied in engineering projects. However, the high efficiency and full utilization of waste building materials still require significant research and innovation.
This Special Issue “Recycled Concrete Towards a Sustainable Society” mainly focuses on the current research progress of the recycled aggregate and concrete. It will cover the aspects of the experimental and theoretical innovation related to the recycled coarse aggregate concrete, recycled fine aggregate concrete, recycled powder concrete, recycled brick aggregate concrete, spoil recycled material and new-type recycled concrete etc. The scope of interests includes but is not limited to the following topics:
(1) Waste concrete crushing and recycled aggregate production technologies;
(2) The basic performance and degradation mechanism of recycled aggregate;
(3) The strength and constitutive relationship of recycled concrete;
(4) The durability of recycled concrete;
(5) The performance improvement technology and mix proportion design method of recycled concrete;
(6) The seismic performance and design method of recycled concrete;
(7) New-type recycled concrete and structures (full regeneration recycled concrete, 3D printed recycled concrete, composite recycled concrete structure, removable structures, etc.);
(8) Recycled concrete products.
