Quantification and characterization of the microstructural damage of recycled aggregate self-compacting concrete under cyclic temperature changes Revilla Cuesta, Víctor Skaf Revenga, Marta Chica Páez, José Antonio Ortega López, Vanesa Manso Villalaín, Juan Manuel Self-compacting concrete Recycled aggregate Cyclic temperature change Thermal internal damage Microstructural characterization Indicator non-destructive property Recycled Aggregate (RA) usually increases porosity and weakens Interfacial Transition Zones (ITZs) of concrete, which favors the appearance of internal thermal damage. Four Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) mixes with coarse and fine RA were subjected to positive and negative cyclic temperature variations to characterize their thermal damage and quantify its effects. Two damage mechanisms were found. On the one hand, micro-cracks appeared in the ITZs. On the other hand, micro-cracks arose from the micro-pores and propagated through the cementitious matrix. Both damage mechanisms were promoted by the use of coarse and fine RA, respectively. The damage was most notable at sub-zero temperatures and when adding coarse RA. Furthermore, it primarily affected compressive strength, although ultrasonic pulse velocity and hardened density also decreased, which served as non-destructive indicators to indirectly quantify the level of thermal internal damage of SCC. 2023-03-01T11:01:56Z 2023-03-01T11:01:56Z 2023-02 info:eu-repo/semantics/article 0167-577X http://hdl.handle.net/10259/7477 10.1016/j.matlet.2022.133628 eng Materials Letters. 2023, V. 333, 133628 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matlet.2022.133628 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/AEI/Plan Estatal de Investigación Científica y Técnica y de Innovación 2017-2020/PID2020-113837RB-I00/ES/ESTUDIO A ESCALA REAL DE HORMIGONES SOSTENIBLES, HIDRAULICOS Y BITUMINOSOS, DE ALTAS PRESTACIONES, FABRICADOS CON RESIDUOS SIDERURGICOS Y DE CONSTRUCCION/ info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/AEI/Plan Estatal de Investigación Científica, Técnica y de Innovación 2021-2023/TED2021-129715B-I00/ES/Reciclaje de palas y cimentaciones de aerogeneradores en hormigón para nuevos parques eólicos de alta potencia/ info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/MICIU/Plan Estatal de Investigación Científica y Técnica y de Innovación 2013-2016/FPU17%2F03374/ info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/Junta de Castilla y León//UIC 231/ info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/UBU//Y135.GI/ http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional Elsevier
