Abstract:Using a large amount of construction waste
which was generated by Wenchuan earthquake
to produce recycled concrete blocks
is an important approach to utilize construction waste as resources. Based on the application of recycled concrete blocks in the earthquake hit area
for reconstruction of villages and towns
the structural performance of recycled concrete block masonry was discussed. Under low frequency cyclic loading test of recycled concrete block load bearing walls and the full scale model shaking table test of recycled concrete block masonry house
the seismic performance of recycled concrete block masonry was studied. Combining with two demonstration projects in the earthquake hit area reconstruction
the design of recycled concrete block masonry structure was also studied.
