Abstract: Recycled concrete is a multiphase composite material. As its main component, the aggregate serves as skeleton and support and has a profound impact on its performance. This work conducted theoretical analysis, experiments and numerical simulations to establish a characteristic model that considers aggregate gradation and shape based on fractal theory. The developed model was used to analyze the characteristics of recycled aggregates. On this basis, a uniaxial compression simulation experiment with different aggregate characteristics was designed to simulate the failure process in recycled concrete. Results show: (i) as the gradation of recycled coarse aggregates approaches the maximum-density curve, the gradation fractal dimension increases, as do the peak stress and elastic modulus accordingly; (ii) the smoother and more regular the aggregate particles, the smaller the aggregate shape eigenvalues and the larger the peak stress and elastic modulus; (iii) in designing the mix proportions, a dense aggregate gradation should be used and all simply crushed recycled concrete aggregates should be reshaped. The above results provide a theoretical basis for renewable aggregate recycling and engineering design.
