Abstract EN
Pore structure plays an important role in the drying shrinkage of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC).
High-precision mercury intrusion and water evaporation were utilized to study the pore structure of RAC, which has a different replacement rate of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA), and to analyze its influence on drying shrinkage.
Finally, a fractal-dimension calculation model was established based on the principles of mercury intrusion and fractal-geometry theory.
Calculations were performed to study the pore-structure fractal dimension of RAC.
Results show the following.
(1) With the increase in RCA content, the drying shrinkage values increase gradually.
(2) Pores with the greatest impact on concrete shrinkage are those whose sizes ranging from 2.5 nm to 50 nm and from 50 nm to 100 nm.
In the above two ranges, the proportions of RAC are greater than those of RC0 (natural aggregate concrete, NAC), which is the main reason the shrinkage values of RAC are greater than those of NAC.
(3) The pore structure of RAC has good fractal feature, and the addition of RCA increases the complexity of the pore surface of concrete.
