Abstract

The recycled powder (RP) from construction wastes can be used to partially replace cement in the preparation of reactive powder concrete. In this paper, reactive powder concrete mixtures with RP partially replacing cement, and natural sand instead of quartz, are developed. Standard curing is used, instead of steam curing that is normally requested by standard for reactive powder concrete. The influences of RP replacement ratio (0, 10%, 20%, 30%), silica fume proportion (10%, 15%, 20%), and steel fiber proportion (0, 1%, 2%) are investigated. The effects of RP, silica fume, and steel fiber proportion on compressive strength, elastic modulus, and relative absorption energy are analyzed, and theoretical models for compressive strength, elastic modulus, and relative absorption energy are established. A constitutive model for the uniaxial compressive stress–strain relationship of reactive powder concrete with RP is developed. With the increase of RP replacement ratio from 0% to 30%, the compressive strength decreases by 42% and elastic modulus decreases by 24%.
