PROPIEDADES DE AGREGADOS FINOS RECICLADOS Y SU RELACIÓN CON EL HORMIGÓN DE ORIGEN

November 2020

21 Reads

Existe en la actualidad un gran interés en el empleo de los agregados finos reciclados (AFR) en la elaboración de hormigones. Ello se debe a la sustentabilidad soslayada a nivel mundial en la extracción de arenas y a la necesidad de un tratamiento integral de los residuos de hormigón. El AFR resulta un remanente debido al empleo de la fracción gruesa del agregado reciclado, lo cual es una práctica que en Argentina ya se encuentra contemplada en la normativa. Los AFR presentan características distintivas frente a los agregados naturales. Es esperable que las propiedades del hormigón de origen determinen la calidad de los AFR. En este trabajo se presenta el programa experimental propuesto para determinar la vinculación de las características de distintos AFR con las propiedades del hormigón del cual provienen.

Scarcity of fine natural aggregates suitable for concrete, the pollution caused by their mining and the great environmental impact produced by the final disposal of waste concrete, have all motivated several studies about their use as recycled aggregates for concrete, particularly the fine fraction. The use of fine recycled concrete aggregates (FRCAs) is directly linked to the feasibility of obtaining target properties in concrete. Agreement about its technical viability has not yet been achieved. In this paper, the properties of FRCA associated with different features of the parent concrete and with the performance of recycled aggregate concrete prepared with them were analysed. The results show that the FRCA paste content is not linked to the compressive strength level of the parent concrete. In addition, the total water to cement ratio in recycled aggregate concrete seems to have greater influence on concrete performance compared with quality and composition of FRCA.

Recycled concrete is still a material with some questionings about its true durable performance. Studies about recycled concretes exposed to external sulfate attack are very scarce. Generally, accelerated tests focused on the chemical attack are performed. However, studies on conventional concretes point out that structures deterioration by external sulfate attack is mainly due to the physical attack, and not merely by the chemical attack. Then, it is necessary to have results based on real exposure conditions, where transport mechanism and kinetics attack may be very different to that in accelerated test. In this paper, the performance of recycled concretes subjected to four recycling cycles and exposed to sulfate soil during eleven years is evaluated. Concretes were periodically assessed by visual inspection, weight variation and determination of dynamic modulus of elasticity. The results show that recycled concretes presented a satisfactory performance after eleven years of exposure, even better than pattern conventional concrete.

El empleo del agregado fino reciclado (AFR) es una temática de actualidad por cuanto diversos estudios han señalado la necesidad de reciclar dicha fracción para lograr la sustentabilidad del empleo de agregados reciclados. Como consecuencia de la pasta de cemento que poseen en su constitución, estos agregados presentan mayor absorción, menor densidad y un menor módulo de elasticidad que la mayoría de los agregados finos naturales (AFN). Estas propiedades podrían resultar particularmente nocivas en la contracción por secado de morteros y hormigones. En este trabajo se evalúan distintas propiedades de morteros con diferentes relaciones agua-cemento elaborados con 30% de AFRs provenientes de la trituración de hormigones con distinta mineralogía de agregados y niveles resistentes. Los resultados obtenidos fueron contrastados con morteros patrones elaborados con AFN de igual mineralogía que la utilizada en el hormigón de origen. De los resultados obtenidos surge que el empleo de AFR no modifica sustancialmente las propiedades de los morteros respecto a los correspondientes morteros de referencia.

La literatura, incluyendo IRAM 1871, define al coeficiente de succión capilar como un factor de proporcionalidad entre la ganancia de peso por succión capilar y tiempo 0,5. Pero para los materiales cementíceos esta linealidad no es tal y existen dificultades para su aplicación. El comportamiento real evoluciona con una curva que disminuye progresivamente su pendiente con t 0,5. Entonces, IRAM 1871 indica un método convencional para el cálculo del coeficiente, y con eso se ve reducida la repetitividad del ensayo experimental. Éste método de cálculo busca resolver una hipótesis falsa, y por lo tanto es arbitrario y artificial. En este trabajo se presenta como solución la aplicación de una relación lineal entre la ganancia de peso por succión capilar y t 0,25. Este nuevo enfoque permite considerar aspectos particulares de los materiales de base cementícea que los diferencian de otros materiales porosos. La solución es fundamentada de forma empírica y teórica. INTRODUCCIÓN Entre las propiedades de transporte del hormigón más habituales de medir, y que además encuentra numerosas aplicaciones a partir de la correlación empírica con el desempeño durable, se encuentra al coeficiente de succión capilar (S). Este parámetro se utiliza como un descriptor de las propiedades de transporte del hormigón relacionadas con distintos tipos de agresividad ambiental, y un bajo valor de S indica propiedades satisfactorias para garantizar una vida útil aceptable de una estructura de hormigón [1]. El hormigón insaturado puesto en contacto directo con agua la absorbe por capilaridad debido a la acción de las fuerzas de adhesión de las moléculas de agua a las paredes de los poros en el hormigón. El método de ensayo para determinar el S del hormigón está normalizado por IRAM 1871 [2]. Allí se indica el procedimiento experimental, y como particularidad, el método de cálculo del S. Al igual que la literatura, IRAM 1871 contempla la evolución de la capacidad de succión capilar con t 0,5 , y calcula así el valor de S. Sin embargo, registros experimentales dan cuenta de una falta de linealidad de la evolución de la succión capilar de agua con t 0,5. Existen diversas hipótesis para explicar esta anomalía, a pesar de lo cual los enfoques normativos aún aplican distintos métodos para la "linearización" de los resultados experimentales con t 0,5. El problema es que estos métodos artificiales reducen la reproducibilidad y repetitividad del método experimental,

Cement paste contained in fine recycled concrete aggregates (FRCA) makes a major difference in comparison with fine natural aggregates (FNA). Because of this, FRCA generally shows lower density and higher absorption than FNA. These differences have been considered as detrimental for concrete properties such as slump loss, compressive strength, drying shrinkage and elastic modulus of elasticity. However, different researchers report opposite results regarding the influence of FRCA on concrete performance. Some of them conclude that replacements of FNA by FRCA cause a minor impact on concrete properties; while others suggest that the use of FRCA is technically inconvenient. These contradictory results could be not only as a consequence of different FRCA origins but also as a result of the way in which FRCA water absorption is considered. It is a common practice to add an amount corresponding with the FRCA absorption capacity to the mixing water. However, if this additional water is not fully uptaken by the aggregate, it could exert a detrimental influence on hardened properties of concrete. This work presents an assessment of the relationship between the total and effective water/cement ratios with the compressive strength of concrete made with FRCA. Less correlation is generally obtained when mixing water is corrected for the assumed water uptake by the aggregate. The results suggest that the estimations of effective w/c based on current test methods for the determination of the water absorption are not reliable enough.

Se realiza una presentación de la temática de los agregados reciclados de hormigón, señalando los factores que han influenciado para que el empleo de los mismos vaya adquiriendo cada vez mayor preponderancia. En la primera parte se describen las características y propiedades que reúnen los agregados reciclados, gruesos y finos, obtenidos de la trituración de hormigones de diferentes características tecnológicas, así como también las variaciones entre distintas muestras, haciendo en algunos casos una comparación con las propiedades de los respectivos agregados naturales. En la segunda parte se expone sobre el comportamiento mecánico de hormigones reciclados elaborados con distintos porcentajes de reemplazo de agregados reciclados por naturales, tanto gruesos como finos, de diferentes orígenes. Se presentan también resultados del módulo de elasticidad estático, comparativamente con el determinado en hormigones con agregados naturales. Finalmente, se hace mención al desempeño durable de los hormigones reciclados, diferenciando lo que son las propiedades de transporte, tales como absorción de agua, succión capilar, penetración de agua a presión y difusión de cloruro, del comportamiento en ambientes agresivos, incluyendo congelamiento y deshielo, suelo con sulfato, exposición a altas temperaturas y desarrollo de la reacción álcali-sílice.

This paper presents an analysis of experimental data from conventional concrete regarding sorptivity and penetrability under pressure comparing these parameters to chloride diffusion rate determined in the laboratory and in actual marine environment. Prescriptions for durability assurance of reinforced concrete structures is based on the qualitative characterization of transport properties. For the specific case of the marine environment, it is required to assess the resistance of concrete to chloride ingress. The results show the limitations of both parameters as prescriptive indexes, with capillary absorption rate showing some advantages over water penetration under pressure.

Water vapour permeability (WVP) is a key parameter for the sustainable thermal conditioning of buildings. The study of the WVP in concrete with supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) allows for the design of structures with improved durability and sustainability. To our knowledge, there is insufficient experimental data in the literature regarding the WVP of concrete with SCMs. WVP tests were made on concrete mixes containing ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS) and limestone powder (LP) as a partial replacement for ordinary Portland cement, and of concrete mixes containing pozzolanic cement (NP). Results from three moisture gradients show that GGBFS induces the greatest reduction in WVP, followed by the NP. LP shows a diluting effect of the binder, which could be compensated by GGBFS in the ternary blend. From the comparison between the WVP and the capillary sorption rate, the influence of the SCMs on the connectivity of the smallest pores is assessed.

... This performance could indicate a mortar more susceptible to salt crystallization in the case of recycled aggregates from SC-B due to the large volume of finer pores in the limestone portland cement matrix. The water absorptions of FRA were in accordance with those reported in the literature, [24][25][26] although the values are smaller than others reported. 27,28 In this sense, the test method used in water absorption determination of FRA is a topic under discussion. ...

... For instance, the capillary absorption coefficient is an index considered by durability guidelines, including for the use of RA [4,19]. It was determined in [20] that, at higher RCA contents, siliceous gravel and quartzite aggregates affected water penetration in the RAC to a lesser extent, despite being more porous aggregates than granite and basalt. Such behavior was attributed to the improvement of aggregate-mortar interfaces in the RCA with respect to the corresponding NA. ...

... It depends on the diffusion and transport processes of gases, liquids and ions through the macro and micro pores in the concrete matrix, as their interactions with the concrete hydration products (available in pores) can directly or indirectly alter the integrity of concrete and gradually deteriorate the concrete structures. The investigations by previous studies [18,28,39,52,58,76,78,91,92,96,124,140,148,162,169,185,222,226,233] found that the durability of RAC is usually lower than VAC due to the presence of relatively soft residual mortar on RA grains and weaker ITZ. The volume of residual mortar on aggregate grains vary from 20% to 60% depending upon the size of the aggregate [83,97]. ...

... In these cases, the mixes are incomparable to conventional mixes with aggregates of much lower absorption (and, therefore, a lower effective water/cement ratio). Sosa et al. [24] determined that the mechanical performance of concrete with fine RA is better correlated with the total water/cement ratio than with the effective water/cement ratio estimated upon consideration of the aggregate absorption. To avoid unintentional increases in the effective water-to-cement ratio, it seems sensible to incorporate fine RA in the air-dry condition and use a water-reducing admixture to compensate for slump loss [23]. ...

... Seawater, which is composed mainly of chloride ions at 21,610 mg/L (21.61 ppt), equivalent to 60% of ion composition in seawater (as given in Table 4) affected the high degree of seawater permeability onto WPVC composite materials from larger dipoledipole interaction (known as polar-polar interaction) between WPVC surface and chloride ion in seawater, in addition to the water permeability and water absorption of wood particles in WPVC composite materials. The high degree of permeability, combined with the hydrophilicity of wood particles, increased the level of seawater diffusion and seawater transportation in WPVC composite materials (Gjørv and Vennesland 1979;Panigrahi et al. 2018;Villagrán Zaccardi et al. 2018;Mukaddas et al. 2019;Ariningsih et al. 2021). The water permeability, water diffusion, and water transportation of wood particles in WPVC composite materials during long-term seawater immersion were more influenced by the mechanical properties of WPVC composite materials than the degradation and water absorption of wood particles during UV-weathering ageing in both the UV ageing and condensation stages. ...

... Initially, the control and FA20 samples were more permeable to water vapour (δ p = 3.7•10 − 12 and 3.2•10 − 12 kg/m s Pa, respectively), than SF20 and FA10SF10 (δ p = 1.5•10 − 12 and 1.6•10 − 12 kg/m⋅s⋅Pa, respectively). The control mortar showed the highest permeability, this might be because the supplementary cementitious materials change the pore size distribution to smaller ranges [51]. After 35 cycles, the control and the FA20 mortars reduced their water vapour permeability by 22.5 % and 12.2 % respectively. ...

... FRCA is generally considered a very low-quality material due to its high amount of RM, resulting in low specific gravity, high porosity and absorption, the latter of which corresponds to the increased water demand of the FRCA concrete. Some studies were performed to quantify the RM of FRCA [22][23][24]; however, the quantification of the RCP is more relevant as FRCA may be composed of only RM, which makes the results obtained on those studies somewhat inconsistent [25,26]. De Andrade et al. [18] used a discrete PPM approach, the so-called Compressible Packing Model (CPM) developed by De Larrard [27], to proportion recycled concrete mixtures made of 100% FRCA and found that better control over the properties of the material might be achieved despite the FRCA features; however, the RCP in the FRCA was quantified in this study only for comparative purposes. ...

... Otra propiedad del hormigón que resulta influenciada por el uso del AGR es el módulo de elasticidad estático, el cual es siempre menor que el correspondiente al HN, aun cuando mejoren las propiedades de las interfases, debido a que aumenta el contenido absoluto de mortero que es menos rígido que el AN. Por lo tanto, la caída del módulo de elasticidad depende del contenido total de AGR y de la rigidez del AN que contiene el hormigón de origen (Sri Ravindrarajah et al., 1985;Gómez-Soberón et al., 2002;Zega et al., 2007;Padmini et al., 2009;Zega et al., 2017). Asimismo, vinculado también con la deformabilidad, el HR, la contracción por secado y el creep resultan mayores que en el HN, debido a su mayor contenido de mortero (Sri Ravindrarajah et al., 1985;Gómez-Soberón et al., 2002;Corinaldesi et al., 2009). ...
