Analysis of Uniaxial Compression Mechanical Properties of Rubber Powder Recycled Coarse Aggregate Concrete Based on Strain Energy Theory by Lei Wang, Hailong Wang

“…In order to develop and make full use of waste construction concrete and waste tyre rubber powder, the experiment entirely used recycled coarse aggregate to replace natural crushed stone aggregate and investigated the effect of different mesh sizes of rubber powder (20 mesh, 60 mesh, and 100 mesh) on the uniaxial compressive mechanical properties, strain energy density, and pore structure of recycled coarse aggregate concrete at three curing ages (14 d, 28 d, and 90 d). Based on the strain energy theory, fractal theory, and grey correlation theory, the effects of the fractal dimension of the pore size of the rubber powder recycled concrete on the correlation of the strain energy parameters were investigated at different curing ages. …”

Effect of Recycled Concrete Aggregates on Plain Concrete Compressive Strength and its Environmental Sensitivity. by Mugisha, Elaijah

“…The test samples were crushed to determine their compressive strength values after 7, 14, and 28 days of curing. Other test samples were exposed to environmental factors after 28 days of curing for instance elevated temperature (1 hour, @105 ℃ ), humidity, and rainwater for 14 days and compressed to note the change in compressive strength of natural concrete and recycled concrete and results showed that recycled concrete is more affected by environment factors than natural concrete made with virgin aggregates. …”
