In order to develop and make full use of waste construction concrete and waste tyre rubber powder, the experiment entirely used recycled coarse aggregate to replace natural crushed stone aggregate and investigated the effect of different mesh sizes of rubber powder (20 mesh, 60 mesh, and 100 mesh) on the uniaxial compressive mechanical properties, strain energy density, and pore structure of recycled coarse aggregate concrete at three curing ages (14 d, 28 d, and 90 d). Based on the strain energy theory, fractal theory, and grey correlation theory, the effects of the fractal dimension of the pore size of the rubber powder recycled concrete on the correlation of the strain energy parameters were investigated at different curing ages. The research results show that as the age period increases, the ability of the rubber powder recycled coarse aggregate concrete to absorb strain energy increases. Before the peak stress, the rubber powder recycled coarse aggregate concrete mainly carries out the storage of elastic strain energy. The incorporation of rubber powder can refine the pore structure of the rubber powder recycled coarse aggregate concrete so that the large pore size pores evolve towards the medium (50–200 μm) or small pores (<50 μm). The fractal dimension analysis revealed that the incorporation of 20 mesh and 60 mesh rubber powder enhances the inhomogeneity of the small pore (<50 μm) and the medium pore (40 μm–140 μm) in the recycled concrete. The grey correlation analysis revealed that the pore size factor with the greatest influence on the elastic energy density was the large pore size (>200 μm).

To develop the utilization of pasture fibers and waste tire rubber powder, the effect of different blending levels of modified pasture fibers (2 kg/m3, 3 kg/m3, and 4 kg/m3) on the loss rate of compressive toughness and softening characteristics of rubber powder concrete was studied. In addition, RapidAir457 system imaging analysis and microscopic electron microscope photo analysis were carried out to analyze the distribution pattern of modified pasture fibers and rubber powder in concrete. The results show that the peak load of concrete is higher than other pasture fiber dosing test groups when 3 kg/m3 is incorporated in 20 mesh and 60 mesh rubber powder. With the increase of pasture fiber content, the compressive toughness loss of MC60 group and MC80 group increased first and then decreased. The softening curve analysis showed that MC-3 was more capable of absorbing damage energy in the strain range of 0.0005–0.0009 than the MC-2 group. According to the RapidAir457 system imaging analysis, the pasture fibers form a web-like organization inside the concrete when the pasture fiber is mixed at 3 kg/m3.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
