Abstract |
|
The paper presents the behavior of Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC) slabs under impact loading. The natural aggregate was replaced with recycled aggregate in proportion of 25, 50, 75 and 100 percent. The load carrying capacity, deflections were recorded for each slab specimen. The energy absorption for each specimen was also evaluated. For comparison purpose, Natural Aggregate Concrete (NAC) slabs were cast and tested. The results revealed that there is a decrement in load carrying capacity is about 2 – 14% for RAC slabs when compared with NAC slabs. In the experimental work all the slabs were simulated with two edges fixed and other two edges simply supported. |
