Abstract

The article presents results of experimental studies of centrally compressed reinforced concrete columns with the addition of concrete rubble as coarse aggregate. Previous studies shows that recycled concrete in the form of crushed concrete rubble obtained from construction waste is an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional coarse aggregate for the manufacture of load-bearing structures. Currently, the scientific literature has a limited amount of information about the calculation methods to be used for the design of reinforced concrete columns with the addition of concrete rubble as coarse aggregate. In this paper, the experimental data on the physicomechanical properties of concrete available in the foreign and domestic literature are summarized. In addition, the deformation features of reinforced concrete columns are highlighted to substantiate the initial premises, hypotheses and possible limitations when developing methods for calculating centrally and eccentrically compressed elements from the specified concrete. Researches are analyzed related to the effect of different content of recycled concrete aggregate in the concrete, the number of longitudinal steel reinforcement in the cross section of the element and its yield strength, pitch and yield strength of transverse reinforcement on the deformability and bearing capacity of concrete columns with the addition of coarse aggregate from concrete rubble. The use of such concrete for the manufacture of centrally and eccentrically compressed concrete columns leads to an insignificant decrease in their bearing capacity. This indicates the possibility of recycling a significant amount of concrete rubble resulting from the processing of reinforced concrete structures destroyed during the demolition of buildings; it allows to attribute this technology to “green building”.
