Behaviour of beam–column joints made of recycled-aggregate concrete under cyclic loading

A study on the size effect of RC beam–column connections under cyclic loading

“…In engineering practice, such properties measured using standard laboratory test samples of the material are usually applicable to structural elements whose size mostly differs from that of the test samples. Many researchers conducted tests on beam-column connections without varying the sizes of tested specimens [6,20,11,16,12]. Some test results are available for scaled models for a particular deficiency.…”

Compressive behaviors of cubes and cylinders made of normal-strength demolished concrete blocks and high-strength fresh concrete

“…A series of investigations on the processing and physical and mechanical properties of recycled aggregates [3][4][5][6], the mechanical properties and http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2015.01.027 0950-0618/Ó 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. durability of RAC [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15], and the performances of RAC structural members [16][17][18][19][20] have been carried out worldwide. The positive results further support and encourage the application of RAC in building structures, while the guidelines and specifications related to recycled aggregates and RAC have been documented by some organizations [21].…”

Recycled concrete with coarse recycled aggregate. An overview and analysis

“…In this context, recycled concrete (RC) has been recognised as a means to preserve natural resources and reduce space for waste storage (2). However, the use of this concrete is not yet widespread despite the great number of studies involving RC's behaviour and the establishment of trustworthy design guidelines (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8). This matter is especially important for those countries whose codes and standards do not include recommendations for high replacement ratios.…”
