Abstract The use of recycled coarse aggregates (RCA) in concrete is an effective strategy for reducing construction and demolition waste; however, their inferior quality often leads to reduced mechanical and durability performance. This study investigates the synergistic effects of cement slurry-treated RCA and graphite nano/micro platelets (GNMPs) on the fresh, mechanical, durability, and microstructural properties of concrete.
3. Experimental Results 3.1. Ultimate Failure Modes The ultimate failure modes of the control beams are shown in Figure 6. Since a four-point bending test setup was adopted, it was expected that the maximum bending moment would be experienced within the constant moment region. The initial flexural cracks in all beams were observed within the constant moment region. As the loading increased, the number of flexural cracks increased.
