This　study　focuses　on　the　shrinkage　behavior　of　ultra-high　performance　concrete　(UHPC)　incorporating　recycled　fine　aggregates　(RFA).　The　effects　of　RFA　content　(0,　25,　50,　75,　and　100　%)　and　different　moisture　states　of　RFA　were　investigated　through　mechanical　properties,　autogenous　shrinkage,　drying　shrinkage,　and　restrained　shrinkage.　The　results　showed　that　the　incorporation　of　RFA　generally　reduced　the　mechanical　properties　of　UHPC,　although　marginal　improvements　were　seen　with　the　use　of　oven-dried　or　air-dried　RFA.　Saturated　surface-dry　(SSD)　RFA　effectively　reduced　autogenous　shrinkage　of　UHPC　through　internal　curing.　However,　the　autogenous　shrinkage　in　UHPC　increased　with　the　increase　of　RFA　content.　RFA　also　increased　the　drying　shrinkage.　Microstructural　analysis　revealed　that　the　increase　in　the　shrinkage　with　increasing　RFA　content　were　due　to　the　increase　in　pores　smaller　than　50　nm,　and　the　decrease　in　micromechanical　properties　resulting　from　the　incorporation　of　RFA.　In　terms　of　restrained　shrinkage,　the　circumferential　strain,　basic　tensile　creep,　and　cracking　potential　of　UHPC　were　related　to　autogenous　shrinkage.　Reducing　the　moisture　content　of　RFA　led　to　an　increase　in　autogenous　shrinkage　while　concurrently　decreasing　drying　shrinkage.　©　2024　Elsevier　Ltd
