    Repair of Second-Generation Recycled Fine Aggregate of Waste Concrete from Freeze-Thaw Environment by Carbonation Treatment

    Jie Huang*, Rongbin Jiang, Xiaobo Sun, Yingyong Shuai

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.12, No.1, pp. 187-201, 2024, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2023.044232

    Abstract The reuse of waste recycled concrete from harsh environments has become a research hotspot in the field of construction. This study investigated the repair effect of carbonation treatment on second-generation recycled fine aggregate (SRFA) obtained from recycled fine aggregate concrete (RFAC) subjected to freeze-thaw (FT) cycles. Before and after carbonation, the properties of SRFA were evaluated. Carbonated second-generation recycled fine aggregate (CSRFA) at five substitution rates (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) to replace SRFA was used to prepare carbonated second-generation recycled fine aggregate concrete (CSRFAC). The water absorption, porosity and mechanical properties of CSRFAC were tested, and its frost-resisting durability… More >

    CO2 and Cost-Based Optimum Design of Sustainable Metakaolin-Modified Concrete

    Xiaoyong Wang*

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.10, No.9, pp. 2431-2450, 2022, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2022.020829

    Abstract Metakaolin is a highly reactive pozzolanic material that is widely utilized for enhancing the performance of concrete. This study offers a framework for the mixture design of sustainable metakaolin-modified concrete with low CO2 emissions and low costs. Different design strengths after 28 days are first formulated, with values such as 30, 40, 50, and 60 MPa. A genetic algorithm is then used to determine the optimal mixtures. Minimized CO2 and cost are set as the aims of the genetic algorithm. The strength of the concrete, its workability (slump), and carbonation service life with climate change are set as constraints of the… More >

    Jun Li1,2,3, Tao Zeng1,2,3,*, Noriyuki Kobayashi4, Rongjun Wu4, Haotai Xu4, Lisheng Deng1,2,3, Zhaohong He1,2,3, Hongyu Huang1,2,3,*

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.9, No.9, pp. 1621-2630, 2021, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2021.015231

    Abstract In order to apply lithium hydroxide (LiOH) as a low temperature chemical heat storage material, the carbonation reaction of LiOH and the prevention method are focused in this research. The carbonation of raw LiOH at storage and hydration condition is experimentally investigated. The results show that the carbonation reaction of LiOH with carbon dioxide (CO2) is confirmed during the hydration reaction. The carbonation of LiOH can be easily carried out with CO2 at room temperature and humidity. LiOH can be carbonated at a humidity range of 10% to 20%, a normal humidity region that air can easily be reached. Furthermore,… More >

    Study on Carbonation Damage Constitutive Curve and Microscopic Damage Mechanism of Tailing Recycled Concrete

    Tao Li1,2,*, Sheliang Wang2, Fan Xu2,*, Binbin Li3, Bin Dang1, Meng Zhan4, Zhiqi Wang5

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.9, No.8, pp. 1413-1432, 2021, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2021.012744

    Abstract To improve the resource utilization of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) and make use of the unique pozzolanic activation characteristics of iron ore tailing (IOT), the constitutive curves of tailing recycled concrete (TRC) before and after carbonization were analyzed theoretically, experimentally and microscopically. Firstly, according to the experimental data, the damage constitutive and related damage parameters of TRC were theoretically established by Weibull probability distribution function. Secondly, the comprehensive damage parameter b under different working conditions was studied. Finally, the damage mechanism was formed by EDS and SEM. The results showed that the damage constitutive model based on Weibull probability distribution… More >

    Theoretical Time Evolution of Critical Chloride Content in Concrete

    I.S. Yoon1, E.A.B. Koenders2

    Structural Durability & Health Monitoring, Vol.5, No.4, pp. 275-294, 2009, DOI:10.3970/sdhm.2009.005.275

    Abstract The critical chloride content for corrosion initiation is a crucial parameter in determining the durability and integrity of reinforced concrete structures, however, the value is still ambiguous. Most studies reporting the critical threshold of the chloride content have involved experimental measurements of the average amount of the total chloride content at an arbitrary time. Although carbonation can significantly impact on critical threshold chloride content, the majority of the researches have not dealt with this issue in combination with carbonation of concrete. Furthermore, many studies have tried to define the critical chloride content within the scope of their experimental concrete mix… More >
