Abstract

Concrete demolition waste could serve as a valuable source of aggregates for new structural concrete. However, the inferior physical properties of recycled concrete (RC) aggregate limit its application. This study explores the enhancement of RC aggregate through carbonation by impregnating phase change material (PCM) into porous RC aggregate subsequently injecting CO₂ gas. We investigate the effects of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) and PCM on the strength development of RC aggregate concrete. The results demonstrate that concrete produced with CaCO₃ enhanced PCM-RC (CPCM-RC) aggregate exhibits strength comparable to conventional concrete, making it a viable option for sustainable construction practices. The CPCM-RC aggregate shows improved physical properties and higher thermal mass than conventional concrete, promoting energy-efficient building applications. Replacing virgin aggregates with CPCM-RC aggregate could position concrete as a sustainable material in the construction industry.
