Description
Chenyang Yuan and colleagues tested in 2026 how carbon fibre and loading speed affect recycled aggregate concrete. Reusing old concrete as aggregate saves resources, but the material needs to hold up under fast as well as slow loads. The team made concrete with no fibre or two added fibre amounts and pressed samples at four loading speeds.
Compression tests were paired with microscope images, sound-based damage listening, and a statistical damage model. Moderate fibre made the structure denser and raised peak stress and strain, especially at the higher fibre amount. Faster loading also raised strength while keeping fair ductility. The findings are offered as guidance for using fibre-reinforced recycled concrete in building work.
