摘要
As the supply of suitable fresh aggregates in some locations is rapidly dwindling and such aggregates need to be transported from distant locations, there will be more and more economic and environmental reasons to use recycled concrete aggregates in making new concrete. The nature and properties of recycled concrete aggregates have a definite impact on the performance of recycled aggregate concrete and the effects can vary considerably. Existing literature and studies conducted by the authors have shown that the amount and properties of the residual mortar in the recycled concrete aggregates significantly affect the mechanical and durability properties of the new concrete. Consequently, a quick laboratory method was developed to determine the residual mortar content of recycled concrete aggregates, to serve as a quality control tool for such aggregates. In order to validate the results obtained by that laboratory test procedure, image analysis was used to quantify the residual mortar content in the different size fractions of the recycled concrete aggregates tested. The results confirmed that the quick laboratory test provides an accurate measurement of the residual mortar content in recycled concrete aggregates. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved,
