Creep and shrinkage behaviour of concrete with mixed recycled aggregates
conference paper
For environmental reasons the interest in possibilities to use recycled aggregates in concrete is strongly increasing. World-wide, most attention with respect to recycled aggregates is paid to the quality of the aggregates. Still only limited information is available for the mechanica! properties of recycled aggregate concrete. Based on investigations over the last two decades, it is already allowed in the Netherlands to use recycled aggregates to some extent. The current situation is described in the paper. Because of the Bemand from practise to have the opportunity to use 100% recycled aggregates in concrete structures with as little limitation in application range as possible, a research program was started in 1998. The investigations focussed on the mechanical properties of concrete with mixed recycled aggregates, which is a blend of concrete and masonrv aggregates. In this paper results of experiments for determining the long-term deformational properties, shrinkage and creep, are presented
