Abstract

This article will present the results of experiments conducted to determine the influence of different curing conditions on the durability of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) made with coarse crushed concrete. Four different curing conditions that represent a wide range of quality control production were tested. The curing conditions tested ranged from uncontrolled outer environment conditions to standard defined temperature humidity curing conditions. The properties analyzed were shrinkage, water absorption by immersion and capillarity, carbonation, and chloride penetration. The article concludes that RAC is affected by curing conditions in much the same way as conventional concrete.
