Creep and Shrinkage Properties of Nano-SiO2-Modified Recycled Aggregate Concrete

The poor performance of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) leads to greater creep in recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) compared to natural aggregate concrete (NAC). To enhance the quality of RCA, this paper utilizes a 2% concentration of a nano-SiO2 (NS) solution for pre-soaking RCA. This study aims...

Zusammenfassung:The poor performance of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) leads to greater creep in recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) compared to natural aggregate concrete (NAC). To enhance the quality of RCA, this paper utilizes a 2% concentration of a nano-SiO2 (NS) solution for pre-soaking RCA. This study aims to replace natural aggregate (NA) with NS-modified recycled aggregate (SRCA) and investigate the creep and shrinkage properties of NS-modified recycled aggregate concrete (SRAC) at various SRCA replacement rates. Subsequently, the creep and shrinkage strains of NAC, SRAC, and RAC are simulated using the finite element method. Finally, a comparative analysis is conducted with the predicted creep and shrinkage strains from CEB-FIP, ACI, B3, and GL2000 models. The experimental results indicate that the creep and shrinkage deformation of SRAC increases with the SRCA replacement rate. Compared to NAC, the creep and shrinkage deformation of SRAC at replacement rates of 30%, 50%, 70%, and 100% increased by 2%, 7%, 13%, and 30%, respectively. However, when 100% of the natural aggregate is replaced with SRCA, the creep and shrinkage deformation decreases by 7% compared to RAC. Moreover, the CEB-FIP and ACI models can predict the creep and shrinkage deformation of concrete reasonably well.
