Influence of the effect of recycled fine aggregate and powder on the frost resistance of recycled concrete by Quan Ma, Wei Yang, Min Song, Zhenhua Duan

“…Abstract The study of frost resistance of recycled concrete (RC) can provide a theoretical reference for assessing its safety and durability for service in cold environments, thereby facilitating the engineering application of sustainable construction materials. To verify the feasibility of replacing cementitious materials with recycled fine powder (RFP), cement paste was prepared by substituting RFP for cementitious materials by mass fraction at 0, 10%, 20%, and 30%. …”
