Fracture behaviors of sustainable recycled aggregate concrete under compression-shear loading: Laboratory test, numerical simulation, and environmental safety analysis
Source abstract
Abstract
A series of compression-shear tests were carried out to investigate the shear failure of sustainable recycled aggregate concrete, and shear failure surfaces were scanned by a 3D laser scanner. The effect of recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) replacement rates and normal stresses on the shear strength, failure mode, and fracture morphology were analyzed. Meanwhile, discrete element method was used to study shear behaviors at a mesoscale. Finally, the carbon emission was calculated to evaluate the effect of RCA on the environment. The result shows that the shear strength, cohesion c, and internal friction angle φ all decrease as the RCA replacement rate increases. The shear damage of RAC can be aggravated by increasing the RCA replacement rate. Fractal dimension and joint roughness coefficient of shear failure surface tend to increase with increasing RCA replacement rate and normal stress. In addition, more microcracks can be found in coarse aggregate with the increase in RCA replacement rate, and the increasing normal stress can cause more microcracks. Given the nonlinear development of stress-displacement, a modified nonlinear constitutive model is proposed. Finally, the total carbon emissions of recycled aggregate concrete are calculated considering production, transportation, and construction, the carbon emission of 100% sustainable recycled aggregate concrete is 10.2% less than that of 100% natural aggregate concrete.
