Abstract This work investigated the performance degradation mechanisms of recycled aggregates in cement concrete through multi-cycle regeneration processes and their impacts on the mechanical behavior of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). A synergistic aging protocol combining accelerated carbonation, sustained loading, and freeze-thaw cycles was employed simulate the cumulative damage in pavement concrete under Beijing’s operational conditions. Specimens with 1—3 regeneration cycles (RAC1—RAC3) were systematically evaluated through compressive strength tests, splitting tensile strength measurements, and elastic modulus determinations. Quantitative microstructural characterization via XRF and SEM-EDS revealed progressive accumulation of mortar layers on aggregate surfaces. Porosity doubled in RAC3 compared to virgin aggregates (RAC0), while elemental mapping showed 24.6% and 5.51% enrichment of Si and Al respectively, though XRD analysis confirmed that no new chemical phases were formed. Mechanical degradation exhibits linear correlations with regeneration cycles: 21.6% reduction in compressive strength, 17.8% in tensile strength, and 26.4% in elastic modulus for RAC3. Critical thresholds were identified through parametric analysis: specimens with 50% replacement ratio maintained C40 compliance even after three cycles, demonstrating minimized performance loss. The fundamental mechanism was attributed to stress concentration effects from the thickened interfacial transition zone (ITZ) between aggregates and adhered mortar. These findings propose an optimized regeneration protocol limiting replacement ratios to 50% and regeneration cycles to three, balancing resource efficiency with structural requirements for pavement applications.
