Abstract: Based on the analysis of the particle morphology parameters of recycled fine aggregate by the digital image technology, the particle characteristics such as bulk density, water absorption and crushing value of recycled fine aggregate were studied, and the workability and mechanical properties of cement prepared with the recycled fine aggregates were analyzed. The results show that compared with the standard sand and natural river sand at the same grade, the parameters such as dullness, aspect ratio, solidity and roundness of recycled fine aggregate are decreased, and the crushing value and water absorption are significantly increased. The fluidity of the prepared cement mortar with recycled fine aggregate decreases significantly when the mass substitution amount of recycled fine aggregate reaches 30%, and the compressive strength and peak stress decrease significantly when the mass substitution amount of recycled fine aggregate reaches 40%.

Key words: recycled fine aggregate, particle morphology, particle characteristic, mortar, fluidity, compressive strength
