DetailsThis research proposes an innovative method for the modification of RA: using the freeze–thaw cycle (FTC) to remove the attached mortar. In addition, to improve the …
DetailsUse a brush or vacuum to clean up any dust or debris left behind after removing the old mortar. 5. Wear Protective Gear. Wear protective gear such as safety glasses, gloves, and a dust mask to protect yourself from flying debris and dust. This is especially important when using a grinder to remove old mortar. 6. Follow Manufacturer's Instructions
Detailscoarse aggregate (RCA) replacement percentages (0–) on recycled concrete and about 3 MPa reduction of com- pressive strength were observed for RCA [9].
DetailsTreating the old adhered mortar or removing it from the natural aggregate (NA) is an option to make RCA beneficial for the production of quality recycled aggregate concrete (RAC).
DetailsTherefore, it will facilitate the applications of recycled concrete aggregate if the adhered cement mortar can be enhanced. Removing and strengthening the adhered mortar are the two main methods ...
DetailsThe removal of attached cement mortar from the RCA surface is a very difficult task as the cement hydration is a chemical reaction between the cement constituents with water for …
DetailsThe fundamental reason for the poor performance of recycled aggregate (RA) and recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) is the attached mortar, which severely restricts the application of RA and RAC. This research proposes an innovative method for the modification of RA: using the freeze–thaw cycle (FTC) to remove the attached …
DetailsTreatment of recycled concrete aggregates minimizes weak or loose mortars attached to their surface, thereby improving the surface contact between the aggregate and the …
DetailsOne top-surface retarder product is Surface Deactivator by Brickform, which provides ten exposure depths, from a simulated light acid etch or sand blast finish up to full exposure of 1 ½" aggregate. Surface Deactivator offers an extended window before the surface paste is removed, allowing the concrete to harden properly, which locks in the aggregate and …
DetailsThe fundamental reason for the poor performance of recycled aggregate (RA) and recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) is the attached mortar, which severely restricts the application of RA and RAC.
DetailsDOI: 10.1016/J.CONBUILDMAT.2021.123066 Corpus ID: 233552400; Quality improvement of recycled concrete aggregate by removal of residual mortar: A comprehensive review of approaches adopted
DetailsThis reaction weakens the attached mortar, making it possible to remove it from the RCAs by mechanical rubbing later. The treated RCAs have lower water absorption and less cement mortar attached. Once used as aggregates in new concrete, these RCAs can enhance the compressive strength of the concrete at 28 days up to 25%. It is …
DetailsTam et al. [11] pre-soaked RCA in hydrochloric acid (HCl), sulphuric acid (H 2 SO 4), and phosphoric acid (H 3 PO 4) solutions to remove the adhered old mortar on the RCA surface, and investigated the basic properties of the resulting RCA and concrete mixes.Test results showed a significant reduction in water absorption of the RCA and an …
DetailsThe major reason that affects the quality of RA is the large amount of cement mortar remains on the surface of the aggregate, resulting in higher porosity, water absorption rates and thus a weaker interfacial zone between new cement mortar and aggregates, which weakens the strength and mechanical performance of concrete made from RA.
DetailsWith the various techniques for removing paste from the RCA, a combination of three enhancement processes were developed for the effective removal of the cement paste, …
DetailsThis occurs as a result of the sulfate ions (SO 4 2−) being consumed in the first stages of the process during the removal of mortar. When the acidic concentrations are raised to ... Tam V.W.Y., Tam C.M., Le K.N. Removal of cement mortar remains from recycled aggregate using pre-soaking approaches. Resour. Conserv. Recycl. 2007; …
