Behaviour of recycled aggregate concrete under combined compression and shear stresses

Blog Article

To investigate the behaviour of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) under combined compression and shear stresses, 75 hollow cylinder specimens prepared with various replacement ratios of recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) were tested with a self-designed loading device.The results showed that the failure pattern was similar for RAC with different replacement ratios of RCA.The ultimate shear stress deva curl arc angel improved with an increasing axial compression ratio of less than 0.6 and chocolate chip cookie purse declined after exceeding 0.

6.A modified failure criterion for RAC with normal strength under combined compression and shear stresses was proposed.A new procedure to predict the shear strength for RAC beams without stirrups was developed based on the proposed failure criterion, showing a better correlation with the experimental results than the predictions calculated by GB50010, Eurocode 2, fib Model Code 2010 and ACI 318-11.
