Abstract
In order to study the workability and mechanical performance of high fluidity recycled concrete, parallel tests were carried out to prepare high fluidity recycled concrete by changing the amount of recycled aggregate (20%, 30%, 40%, 50% and 60%) and the sand ratio (0.37, 0.38, 0.39 and 0.40). The fluidity, compression strength, tensile strength and flexural strength of each mix were tested. The results show that the slump of a recycled concrete mixture is 120 mm when the content of recycled aggregate is less than 30%, and the mechanical strength satisfies the requirement of the high fluidity ordinary concrete. As the ratio of sand increases, the fluidity of the recycled concrete also improved. The best sand ratio is not consistent with the strength index. When the sand ratio is between 0.37 and 0.40 and the content of recycled aggregate is not more than 40%, the concrete of C60 can be prepared. Both the fluidity and the strength index can meet the design requirements and can be used in the practical engineering.
