Innovatively Incorporating Silica Fume as a Partial Replacement for Cementand Integrating Recycled Aggregates Inti concrete

Abstract

The construction sector requires approaches that reduce resource consumption and the environmental burden associatedwith conventional concrete. This study investigates M30 concrete incorporating silica fume as a partial replacement for cementand recycled coarse aggregates treated with epoxy resin. The experimental program considered 50% recycled coarse aggregate andsilica fume replacement levels of 5% and 10%, with a water-to-cementitious-material ratio of 0.40. Material characterization,fresh-concrete workability, specimen preparation, curing, and compressive-strength testing were carried out. Cubes of 150 × 150 ×150 mm were tested at 7, 14, and 28 days. The 5% silica fume mix achieved 24.1, 28.6, and 30.4 N/mm², while the 10% mixachieved 28.2, 30.8, and 34.5 N/mm² at the respective ages. The 10% replacement level therefore produced the highest strengthamong the investigated mixtures. The results indicate that silica fume and treated recycled aggregate can be combined to develop amore resource-efficient concrete, although the characteristics of recycled aggregate and the quality of aggregate–paste bondingremain important.Index Terms—silica fume, recycled aggregate, epoxy resin, sustainable concrete, M30 concrete, compressive strength.
