This work proposes to ameliorate the performance of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) by enhancing the interfacial transition zone (ITZ). In light of this, the recycled aggregate was pre-treated by the sulfoaluminate cement (SAC) slurry and water glass (WG) solution at varying water-to-SAC (w/s) ratios and WG concentrations, respectively. The optimum modification efficiency was observed at a w/s ratio of 0.8 and a WG concentration of 3 wt%. It was found that the SAC-treatment of RA led to a layered, sandwich-shaped new ITZ which presented an overall higher microhardness compared to the normal ITZ in the reference RAC. The WG-treatment enhanced both the new and old ITZ but its modification on RAC's mechanical/durability performance was less stable than the SAC-treatment. The SAC treatment is thereby suggested to be more appropriate for RAC's modification in practical use, also considering its lower risk of alkali-silica reaction than the WG treatment.

通过在硫铝酸盐水泥浆和水玻璃溶液中预处理骨料来改善再生骨料混凝土 (RAC) 的性能
这项工作旨在通过增强界面过渡区 (ITZ) 来改善再生骨料混凝土 (RAC) 的性能。鉴于此,回收骨料分别用硫铝酸盐水泥 (SAC) 浆料和水玻璃 (WG) 溶液以不同的水与 SAC ( w/s ) 比和 WG 浓度进行预处理。在w/s观察到最佳改性效率0.8 的比例和 3 wt% 的 WG 浓度。结果发现,RA 的 SAC 处理导致了分层的、夹心形的新 ITZ,与参考 RAC 中的正常 ITZ 相比,其整体显微硬度更高。WG 处理增强了新旧 ITZ,但其对 RAC 机械/耐久性性能的改进不如 SAC 处理稳定。因此建议SAC处理在实际使用中更适合RAC的改性,同时考虑到其比WG处理更低的碱-二氧化硅反应风险。
