Analysis of Damage Mechanisms and Evolution in Recycled Aggregate Concrete Considering the Effects of Water–Cement Ratio and Pore Water

Abstract

AbstractTo study the effect of water–cement (w/c) ratio and pore water on the mesomechanical properties of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC), a computational model of RAC that takes into account various w/c ratios (0.3, 0.36, 0.4, 0.41, 0.49, 0.5, 0.6, ...Practical ApplicationsThe physical properties of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) are particularly valuable in engineering and building, and its application offers substantial advantages in both the environment and the economy. One crucial factor in the ...
