The preparation of concrete mixtures can be tailored to provide wide range of mechanical and durability properties as well as to meet the design specifications of the structure. This paper discusses the potential use of recycled concrete aggregate in the production of high strength concrete. The effect of other processing parameters such as aggregate replacement ratio, type of admixture and slump height on the compressive strength and water absorption rate of different concrete mixes were investigated. The fabrication of high strength concrete was done by machine-mixing of the aggregates, cement and admixture in accordance with ASTM C192, utilizing the Taguchi design to derive the concrete mixtures. Using the 10% recycled fine aggregate with Mira P99 admixture and slump height of 4-6 inches showed an optimum condition and yielded a predicted maximum compressive strength at around 8400 psi. The failure mode of the concrete after compression test was generally shear fracture type. For the water absorption rate, only the admixture had a significant effect. Surface morphology of the fractured concrete surface revealed that utilizing recycled concrete aggregate resulted to a porous surface morphology compared to the natural aggregate.

The mechanical properties of high strength concrete(HSC) were experimentally investigated under mixed erosion and freeze-thaw cycling according to ASTM C666(Procedure B), the erosion solution was mixed by weight of 3% sodium chloride and 5% sodium sulfate. The mass loss, relative dynamic modulus of elasticity, compressive strength, elastic modulus and other relative data were measured. The results showed that with the increasing number of freeze-thaw cycles, the surface scaled more seriously; the mass loss, compressive strength and elastic modulus continued to decrease; the relative dynamic modulus of elasticity increased slightly in the first 225 freeze-thaw cycles, then decreased in the following 75 cycles; the corresponding strain to peak stress decreased with the increase of freeze-thaw cycles. After 200 cycles, the rate of deterioration of concrete accelerated obviously.
