Overview

Randomized trial investigates the impact of graphite powder on concrete strength and fracture behavior, indicating a path for construction waste enhancement.

Key Points

  • This research aims to enhance the mechanical properties of Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC) by incorporating low content Flake Graphite Powder (GP).
  • Conducted uniaxial compressive and splitting tensile tests, along with three-point bending tests.
  • Used Acoustic Emission (AE) monitoring to observe fracture behavior and damage modes.
  • Examined various dosages of GP on RAC's properties.
  • With 1.0 wt% GP, RAC shows a 14.71% increase in compressive strength and a 27.18% increase in splitting tensile strength.
  • At low dosages, GP enhances mechanical properties, while high dosages degrade them.
  • GP improves interfacial bonding and changes failure mode from brittle to more damage-tolerant.
