Abstract
This study is conducted to utilize waste concrete powder (WCP) made as a by-product manufacturing high quality recycled aggregate. The Blaine fineness of the WCP used was 928 and 1360cm2/g. As the main characteristic of WCP, it is particle were angular similar to cement, and hydrated products were attached on the surface of particles. In addition, the particle size of WCP was larger than Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) and in terms of chemical components it had higher SiO2 content. The viscosity of pastes that contained WCP decreased by up to 62% compared to paste that only used OPC, and the final set time was delayed about 2h. As substitution rates of WCP increased, the flow value decreased by 30% at the most according to the comparison with mortar that only used OPC. The compressive strength of mortar decreased by up to 73% as level of WCP increased and sorptivity coefficients increased by 70%. According to the test results, it is desirable to keep WCP replacement OPC to below 15%.
