Abstract:
To study the differences of flexural performance of high-strength recycled concrete slabs and high-strength ordinary concrete slabs, four full-scale high-strength recycled concrete slabs and two high-strength ordinary concrete slabs comparison tests were carried out. Recycled concrete coarse aggregate replacement rate was 100% and the fine aggregate was natural sand. The design strength grade of concrete for all specimens was C65. The loading method was three points one-way repeated loading. The cracking strength, yielding strength, ultimate strength, deflection, crack and damage process were studied. Results show that comparing with the high-strength ordinary concrete slab, the flexural failure process, cracking strength and ultimate strength of the high-strength recycled concrete slab are similar but its midspan deflection is slightly larger. When using the steel bar truss construction, cracks can be restricted by steel bar truss after slabs crack and the ultimate load, late stiffness and ductility can be increased. The bearing capacity of recycled concrete slabs can be calculated using the method in the code for design of concrete structures but reduction factor should be considered according to recycled coarse aggregate rate, in order to consider the difference of the long term behavior and short term test behavior.
