Abstract
We elucidated the effects of the parent concrete and mixing approach used on the freezing/thawing resistance of air-entrained recycled aggregate concrete (ARAC). Three non-air-entrained concretes and one air-entrained concrete were used to prepare recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) samples. Three mixing approaches were also investigated. The frost resistances of the ARAC samples produced using an RCA obtained from the non-air-entrained concrete with high strength as well as the air-entrained one were close to that of conventional concrete. The mixing approach used had no effect on the frost resistance. A possible mechanism for the failure of ARAC is proposed.
