Research on Mechanical Properties and Carbon Reduction of Low Carbon UHPC Based on Utilization of Recycled Materials
;Based on the resource recovery technology of waste concrete,recycled aggregates and recycled fine powder are produced,and they are used to replace quartz sand and cement to manufacture low-carbon ultra high performance concrete(UHPC).Through mechanical experiments and carbon reduction research,the results indicate that the replacement of quartz sand with recycled aggregate(<30%)results in a limited reduction in UHPC compressive strength.Regenerated fine powder(<25%)replaces cement,and the reduction in UHPC compressive strength is limited.If the content exceeds 25%,it will reduce the working performance and compressive strength of the UHPC matrix.By mixing recycled aggregate and recycled fine powder(<5%),the compressive strength of UHPC remains unchanged.While maintaining the basic mechanical properties of UHPC,recycled fine powder(<25%)can replace cement or recycled aggregate(<30%)instead of quartz sand.In the production stage,the cost of UHPC can be reduced by more than 5%per unit.Considering government subsidies for recycled materials and economic carbon reduction indicators,the cost can be reduced by up to 10%.Regenerated fine powder(<25%)can replace cement and reduce carbon emissions by 15%per unit during the production stage.Therefore,using recycled materials to produce low-carbon UHPC can effectively reduce the production cost and carbon emissions,facilitate the promotion of UHPC,and assist in ecological construction.
