Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Abstract of Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of the University of Florida in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Engineering CONCRETE CONTAINING RECYCLED CONCRETE AGGREGATE FOR USE IN CONCRETE PAVEMENT By Patrick Amoah Bekoe August 2009 Chair: Mang Tia Major: Civil Engineering Our study evaluated the feasibility of using concrete containing recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) in concrete pavement application. Concrete containing 0%, 25% and 50% of RCA were produced in the laboratory and their properties vital to the performance of concrete pavement evaluated. Result from the laboratory testing program indicates that the compressive strength and elastic modulus is reduced slightly as the percentage of RCA increases. The flexural strength, splitting tensile strength and coefficient of thermal expansion is about the same for concrete containing virgin aggregate and RCA. The free shrinkage increases slightly as the percentage of RCA increases. From the measured properties, a finite element analysis was performed to determine how the concretes containing the different amounts of RCA would perform if they were used in a typical concrete pavement in Florida. The analysis from the finite element model determined the maximum stresses under critical temperature and load conditions. The potential performance of the different pavements was evaluated based on the computed maximum stress to the flexural strength ratio. The maximum stress to flexural strength ratio in the pavement was found to be about the same as the percentage of RCA increases. This indicates that RCA can be used successfully in concrete pavement without affecting the performance.

Book excerpt: Virgin aggregate is being used faster than it is being made available creating a foreseeable shortage in the future. Despite this trend, the availability of demolished concrete for use as recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) is increasing. Using this waste concrete as RCA conserves virgin aggregate, reduces the impact on landfills, decreases energy consumption and can provide cost savings. However, there are still many unanswered questions on the beneficial use of RCA in concrete pavements. This research addresses the many technical and cost-effective concerns regarding the use of RCA in concrete pavements by identifying concrete mixture and proportioning designs suitable for jointed plain concrete pavements; constructing test sections using varying amounts of RCA; monitoring performance through testing, condition surveys and sensor data; modeling RCA pavement performance; and predicting life cycle costs. The research was carried out as a partnership between the Centre for Pavement and Transportation Technology (CPATT) at the University of Waterloo, the Cement Association of Canada, Dufferin Construction, and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada.rgin aggregate increase as the sources becomes depleted. Multivariable sensitivity analysis showed that the LCCA results were sensitive to construction costs, discount rate, and maintenance and rehabilitation quantities.

This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) is the byproduct of the demolition of concrete structures and pavements. An estimated 140 million tons of concrete waste is produced annually in the United States, most of which ends up in landfills. The use of RCA to replace quarried aggregates in paving projects is one way to utilize these materials and alleviate concerns regarding this increasing waste stream. RCA usage prevents waste concrete disposal into landfills, resulting in more sustainable use of mineral aggregate sources, and may further reduce costs associated with paving projects. However, the inferior physical properties of RCA, such as the presence of recycled mortar, complicate the incorporation of RCA into new concrete mixtures. State highway agencies such as the Kansas Department of Transportation are facing further issues with RCA from D-cracked pavements, raising the question if D-cracked aggregates should be used in paving operations. No known work has evaluated the effect of RCA from D-cracked pavements in subgrade soil stabilization. This study stabilized a low-plasticity clay in Kansas using RCA and three stabilizing materials (lime, Class C fly ash, and a combination of Portland cement and fly ash). Candidate mixtures with varying proportions of chemical stabilizers and D-cracked aggregates were evaluated using the standard Proctor, unconfined compressive strength, linear shrinkage, and California Bearing Ratio tests. Microstructure characteristics of selected mixtures were explored using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray tests. Laboratory test results indicated that RCA, in conjunction with all cementitious materials except lime, improved clay strength, stiffness, and shrinkage properties. SEM results indicated that RCA caused a low void space and a dense arrangement of soil particles. RCA effectively improved evaluated mixture properties when an adequate soil-RCA bond was reached using chemical agents. The long-term performance of full-depth flexible pavements with stabilized mixtures as subgrade was assessed in the AASHTOWare Pavement ME Design (commonly known as MEPDG) software. The life-cycle cost of flexible pavements with stabilized mixtures was estimated for a 40-year design period. Economic analysis results indicated that RCA was cost effective only if it was used with a combination of fly ash and Portland cement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Our study evaluated the feasibility of using concrete containing recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) in concrete pavement applications. Concrete containing 0[percent], 10 [percent], 20[percent] and 40[percent] of RAP were produced in the laboratory, and evaluated for their properties which are relevant to performance of concrete pavements. Using the measured properties of these concretes containing RAP, finite element analysis was then performed to determine how the concretes containing different amounts of RAP would perform if it were used in a typical concrete pavement in Florida. Results of the laboratory testing program indicate that compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, flexural strength and elastic modulus of the concrete decrease as the percentage of RAP increases. The coefficient of thermal expansion appears to increase slightly with the use of one RAP, and decrease slightly with the use of a second RAP. The drying shrinkage appears to increase slightly with increasing RAP content. When analysis was performed to determine the maximum stresses in a typical concrete pavement in Florida under critical temperature and load conditions, the maximum stress in the pavement was found to decrease as the RAP content of the mix increases, due to a decrease in its elastic modulus. This indicates that using a concrete containing RAP can result in improvement in the performance of concrete pavements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The need to consider sustainability in design dictates that materials should be recycled and reused whenever possible. The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) is quite progressive in allowing the use of recycled aggregates in new construction. While the use of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) in the base course of new pavements is quite common in Minnesota and many other states, it is rarely used in the concrete pavement itself. In fact, Minnesota was one of the few states to build multiple trial projects and has one of the largest number of concrete pavements constructed using the RCA in the concrete itself. The performance of those pavements, most of which are still in service, has never been formally evaluated against similar conventional concrete pavements. This prompted the current research study. Additional objectives were to assess the current state of practice across the nation, conduct experimental investigations using RCA in concrete, assess the sustainability and in particular the economics of using RCA in concrete, and finally to provide some recommendations for guidelines on using RCA in concrete. It has been shown by the authors and other researchers that it is possible to create strong and durable concrete mixtures using RCA as coarse aggregate in volume replacement levels of natural coarse aggregate up to 100%.

This book was released on 1999 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report reviews the design and performance of continuously reinforced concrete pavement (CRCP) in Illinois. Illinois has built over 4,267 two-lane km (2,650 miles) of CRCP on the Interstate system since the mid-1950s. CRCP has been constructed on nearly all urban freeways in the Chicago area and has shown excellent performance under severe weather and heavy traffic conditions. The effect of key design and construction parameters on long-term CRCP performance is investigated using a database that was compiled based on field surveys conducted from 1977 to 1994 by the Illinois Department of Transportation (I DOT). Analysis of the data shows the following variables have significant effects on performance: longitudinal reinforcement content (greatest effect of all variables), slab thickness (also very significant), traffic load applications, depth of reinforcement, base type, and 0-cracking of concrete. CRCP built with tubes or chairs exhibited overall about the same performance. Experimental field studies in Illinois showed that depth of reinforcement has a large effect on crack width and, eventually, on punchouts.
