Study of permanent formwork made of high-performance concrete as protection of concrete with recycled aggregate

University essay from KTH/Betongbyggnad

Abstract: The production of concrete remains one of the highest CO2 producers. It consumes alarge number of primary sources of raw materials. One way to reduce emissions and rawmaterials consumption is by applying more recycled aggregates. However, when recycledaggregate is used for concrete, its properties and durability usually decline in comparisonwith conventional concrete with natural aggregate. For this reason, it is necessary to findthe optimal way in connection with the requirements of structural use in buildingstructures. The diploma thesis will examine the basic possibility of using lost formworkfrom high-performance concrete. The core will be made of concrete with recycledaggregate. High-performance concrete skin will be reinforced by various unconventionalreinforcement
