The Properties of Fine-Aggregate Concrete with Recycled Cement Powder

Abstract

The main aim of this contribution is verification of properties of concrete with partial replacement of cement by recycled cement powder originating from waste concrete. The main topic of this article is the study of influence of partial replacement of cement by recycled cement powder (RCP) to the cement paste properties, workability of fresh concrete and strength development and dynamic modulus of elasticity of fine aggregate concrete with partial replacement of cement. The workability of fresh concrete were tested by flow table test. The compressive strength, tensile strength in bending and dynamic modulus of elasticity were tested at the age 7, 14, 28 and 90 days. Partial replacement of cement was 0, 5, 10 and 15 % for all these tests. Mechanical properties were investigated by using cubic and prismatic specimens. The determination of the initial setting time of cement paste were measured by automatic Vicat apparatus for replacement rate of cement 0, 5, 10, 15 and 25 %.
