only by mill crushing, mechanical grinding, mechanical means such as hammering, and abrasive action (Despotovic, n.d.; Ogawa & Nawa, 2012 ). As a result, instead of hammering and mill crushing, Los
3. Removal of adhered mortar. Mechanical grinding, pre-soaking in water/acid are the common methods to remove the adhered mortar. Mechanical grinding is a popular treatment because of the simple procedure to produce high quality RCA (Sun and Xiao, 2004).However, mechanical grinding could easily damage RCA due to …
Taking advantage of what Rampart Hydro Services calls "coincidental and beneficial removal," loose or slightly damaged concrete near the removal area that might well be missed by mechanical demolition also is removed by the high pressure water. Any loose or delaminated concrete is automatically reduced to small 1/2-inch pieces.
demolition. 4.1.16. Grinding. It is a method of removing the surface thin layer of concrete structure by abrading the surface by grinder. The grinding machine is shown in Figure 9. the beginning and testing, resonance of the material is Figure 9: Grinding machine used in demolition. 4.2. Conventional Demolition Technologies.

Proposed methods are classified into four types: (1) Removal of attached old mortar from RCA using techniques such as mechanical grinding [15], microwave heating [16,17], ultrasonic cleaning [18 ...
A chain saw (Fig. 15.2) is a hands-on, mechanical grinding method, similar to a wire saw, which cuts with a set of teeth attached to a rotating chain that runs along a guide bar. Dedicated chain saws can cut concrete, brick, and natural stone.

Some aggregate refining methods such as "heating and rubbing" and "mechanical grinding" have been developed in order to improve the quality of recycled aggregates by removing the attached paste/mortar. The amount of paste/mortar in waste concrete is about between 20% and 50%, but relative research is very limited [10–13].

Demolition and Cleanup Before starting a demolition, the person or persons in charge must adequately prepare for the task with regard to the health and safety of the workers. These preparatory operations involve the overall planning of the demolition job, includ-ing the methods to be used to bring the structure down, the equipment neces-
A parallel study of deck removal methods for concrete girder bridges was undertaken at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL). The UNL research team also conducted a survey and a workshop for deck removal methods on concrete girders. These surveys and workshops were designed to determine methods that state DOTs currently accept and to develop
Physical enhancement techniques can be divided into three types: mechanical grinding and shaping, heat treatment and electric pulse treatment. 3.1.1. Mechanical grinding and shaping technology. According to the available data thus far, the vertical eccentric grinding device is the earliest mechanical grinding device used to …
Mechanical behaviour of concrete made with fine recycled concrete aggregates: 557: 28: 4: ... The aggregates usually processed by parent or old concrete crushing, such as waste demolished concrete, are known to be recycled concrete aggregate [56]. ... [72], and mechanical grinding method ...
Conventional methods for demolition are discussed and their performance compared in terms of their efficiency, safety and general levels of noise, vibration and dust produced. …
demolition activities at a site and consequently may influence a demolition contractor's choice of methods. DEFINITIONS The following definitions taken from the November 20, 1990 revision of the asbestos NESHAP regulation are provided for ease of reference. Adequately wet means sufficiently mix or penetrate with liquid to prevent the release of

For recycled concrete aggregate from concrete waste, the use of up to 90% of recycled aggregate is allowed if water absorption is at most equal to 10% and content of contaminants up to 0.2%; meanwhile, for recycled concrete aggregate from demolition waste, the content of recycled aggregate is limited to 70%, while the limits for water ...
Concrete waste is incorporated as one of the highest proportions of the total construction and demolition materials, i.e. about 80% in Australia. Most of the concrete waste generated is sent to ...
The important methods practiced in this field are mentioned. Demolition is the deliberate destruction of structures and materials by means of explosives, mechanical devices, fire, chemical agent, etc.
These facilities use crushed demolished concrete aggregates because they have higher surface to volume ratios and, therefore, higher carbon mineralization potential than non-crushed concrete aggregates, although carbon mineralization of concrete is a natural process that occurs over years in concrete structures that are exposed to CO 2 …
Strength and Durability Properties of Treated Recycled Aggregate Concrete by Soaking and Mechanical Grinding Method: Influence of Processing Technique. …
Two main methods reported in the literature that can con-siderably improve the RA characteristics are pre-soaking in moderate acetic acid [31] and mechanical grinding [8 ]. Only mill crushing, mechanical grinding, mechanical means such as hammering, and abrasive action may damage parental rock in removing weak adherent mortar [32, 33]. …
The data in Fig. 1a and Table 3 verifies that mechanical grinding can significantly improve the particle size of RCP. When the grinding time is extended from 30 to 60 min, the average particle size of RCP decreases significantly, and the median size is reduced to less than 10 μm. Moreover, particles smaller than 45 μm account for 88.06% …
Several methods are used in concrete demolition, which is the first and most important step in replacing the concrete in case of excessive damage and building it all over again. 1. Pneumatic and Hydraulic Breakers. Such type of boom mounted or handheld machine tools are frequently used for concrete removal, which involves …
