Abstract
Enormous industrialization and urbanization have led to the generation of huge quantity of C&D waste, which requires its appropriate utilization or disposal. Keeping these in eyes, construction sector is focusing on sustainable waste management regulations nowadays. Thus, the sustainable future green cities can be possible only by using low-carbon resources, eco-friendly materials and through energy conservation techniques. The goal of this study was to evaluate the durability and in situ performances of concrete made with recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) using fluorogypsum as cementitious binder to replace the cement partially (25%). This leads to a new perspective for achieving green concrete. The quality of RCA and the influence of the replacement ratio were assessed on several parameters such as chloride ion penetration, carbonation and water absorption resistance. The in situ parameters such as ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV) and rebound hammer number reflected the same behaviour with replacement percentage level of RCA. The UPV values of more than 3600 m/s, showed good-quality concrete. Though, RCA is having potentially inferior quality than natural aggregate (NA), it could be used to produce a structural grade concrete of strength more than 40 MPa. The results with fluorogypsum binder (FB) revealed that though it is having its own binder property, it could not achieve strength up to that with cement replacement. Rather, it can be used as a filling material or as an additive to improve its performance by making its matrix denser.
