Abstract
- The improved mechanical properties of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) by employing the particle packing method (PPM) of the mix design approach encourages its application to study the performance of structural members. The experimental investigation is conducted on the axial compressive behavior of reinforced natural aggregate concrete (NAC) and RAC columns using two different tie spacing conditions. A reduction of 18% in the axial load of RAC columns is observed with respect to the NAC columns and only 2.7% improvement in axial load is recorded as the tie spacing reduces by 22.5%. Subsequently, the finite element (FE) analysis is conducted to investigate the axial compressive strength of both NAC and RAC columns using different tie spacing conditions. The FE analyses of RAC columns with different tie spacing support to modify the spacing of transverse reinforcement as half as that of the spacing specified in the prevailing design for NAC columns.
