Abstract
This paper examines the water sorptivity of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) and shows how sorptivity can be predicted using electrical resistivity as the main predictor. The measurements in 48 RAC specimens show that RAC has higher water sorptivity and lower electrical resistivity than regular concrete. RAC sorptivity and rate of saturation prediction models were developed using multiple linear regression analysis. The prediction models include electrical resistivity, percent volume of coarse recycled concrete aggregates, and air content of residual mortar as explanatory variables. A graphical calculating device based on the sorptivity regression models was also created.
