| Summary: | This paper presents a recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) mix that has been modified by adding treated recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and various types of fiber-reinforced systems. The effectiveness of these modifications in terms of energy absorption and impact resistance was evaluated and compared with that of the corresponding regular concrete, as well as with unmodified RAC specimens. Results clearly indicate that although modification of the RAC mix with treated RCA significantly enhances the impact resistance of RAC, further diversification with additional fiber, particularly those in hybrid form, can optimize the results. © Owned by the authors, published by EDP Sciences, 2016. |
