Abstract:
In order to study the seismic behavior of reinforced recycled concrete joints under chloride environment, eight exterior joints with different replacement rates of recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) and reinforcement corrosion rates were designed, and seismic analyses were carried out using quasi-static tests. Corrosion was accelerated by the electrochemistry method with sponge and stainless steel wire mesh wrapping around the specimens under wet/dry (1:1) condition, and corrosion cracks were observed when reaching expected corrosion rates. The results indicate that the load-carrying capacity, stiffness, ductility and energy dissipation of uncorroded specimens with 50% and 70% RCA replacement rates are inferior to those of the normal concrete specimen, while the behavior of the specimens with 100% RCA replacement rate is similar to that of the normal concrete specimen. The chloride environment can be well simulated by electrochemistry method under wet/dry (1:1) condition, leading to red rust and pitting corrosion on the reinforcing bars. For the specimens with 100% RCA replacement rate, the load-carrying capacity and stiffness decrease significantly when the corrosion rate exceeds 2.18% (maximum crack width is 1.20 mm), while their ductility and energy dissipation are superior to those of the uncorroded joint when the corrosion rate is less than 4.17% (maximum crack width is 3.08 mm), and then decrease significantly. © 2020, Editorial Office of Journal of Building Structures.
