Abstract

Using waste materials as aggregate for new concrete production is a growing tendency, because of several environmental problems. Recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) obtained from crushing waste concrete has lower density and greater absorption than natural aggregate, because of the higher porosity of the mortar attached to the RCA particles. Compressive strength level achieved in recycled concrete may be similar to that of conventional concrete. On the other hand, durable performance of recycled concrete is variable, and diverse evidence can be found in literature for different durability issues. In this paper, chloride ingress in conventional and recycled concrete, made with quartzite aggregate and blended Portland cement is evaluated when immersed in NaCl solution. Two strength levels (21 and 35 MPa) and two contents of RCA (25 and 75%), as substitute of natural quartzite aggregate, were considered. The chloride diffusion coefficient and the relationship between water-soluble chloride and bound chloride are analyzed.
