Abstract

With an emphasis on environmental protection and the sustainable development of resources, the reuse of waste concrete has long been a research hotspot, and the study of WCP is the key to improving the efficiency of waste concrete utilization. In this study, in which we reviewed the relevant literature at home and abroad in recent years, we first used Citespace software to visualize and analyze the research on the reuse and activation methods of WCP in recent years. In this paper, we explain the characteristics of WCP and the influence of different activation methods on the activity index of WCP. We summarize the mechanical properties and working properties of WCP mortar products, and finally, the optimal activation method of WCP and the optimal amount of WCP in mortar preparation are analyzed. In addition, some problems in the current research are determined.
