dc.description.abstractThe use of recycled aggregates derived from construction and demolition wastes increased in the concrete construction industry. While the coarse fraction (i.e., from 5 to 20 mm) was successfully recycled, the fine fraction (i.e., from 0 to 5 mm) is hardly recyclable given its heterogenous nature and poor physical properties. This paper assesses the feasibility of recycled mortar aggregate (RMA) in pavement concrete applications requiring superior resistance to weathering and wearing effects. Three concrete strength grade categories prepared with different water -to -binder ratios (w/b) of 0.4, 0.5, and 0.6 are investigated; the natural sand replacement levels by RMA varied from 0 % to 60 % by volume, at 20 % increment rates. Test results showed that the detrimental RMA effect on durability depends on the concrete strength category, requiring proper adjustment of the maximum replacement rate to maintain acceptable losses in performance. Hence, the higher strength grade mixtures prepared with 0.4 w/b were found to yield significant drops in durability reaching 25 % in water sorptivity, 18 % in abrasion, and 22 % due to freeze/ thaw (F/T) cycles. In contrast, the lower strength grade concrete made with 0.6 w/b exhibited marginal degradation in strength and durability, despite the incorporation of 60 % RMA. The resulting losses in sorptivity, abrasion, and F/T cycles were limited to 13 %, 8 %, and 12 %, respectively.en_US
