APPLICABILITY OF HIGH QUALITY RECYCLED AGGREGATE TO MASS CONCRETE OF NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS(Materials and Construction)

Abstract

Applicability of high quality recylced aggregate to mass concrete of nuclear power plants was demonstrated using models simulating Pre-stressed Concrete Containment Vessel, measuring thermal and strength characteristics. Analysis on thermal cracking resistance for the reactor containment showed that the mass concrete using high quality recyceld aggregate was superior to ordinary aggregate concrete.
