Abstract
Recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) has multiple interface transition zones (ITZs) due to its complex composition, providing convenient ion transfer channels. Therefore, it is significant to explore the changes of the internal pore structure in RAC under ion erosion conditions for quantifying and predicting ion transfer mechanisms. This paper innovatively utilizes the seepage effect for investigating the evolution of pore structures in RAC under sulfate attack. We conduct a systematic experimental study on the transport of sulfate ions in RAC with different fly ash (FA) substitution rates under dry-wet cycles. Combining backscattered electron imaging (BSE), permeation and fractal characteristics, this paper deeply explore the relationship between pore structure feature, sulfate percolation mechanism and the macroscopic properties of RAC incorporated with different amount of FA.
