Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) is an excellent substitute of natural aggregates and its use in civil engineering projects has received great attention in recent years. One of the important factors that control the behavior of RCA when used as granular construction material or ballast in geotechnical and infrastructure engineering projects is ...
This study tries to reveal the carbonation behavior when recycled coarse aggregates (RCAs) are used to mix new concrete. Six series of tests including 22 groups of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) specimens were carried out, in which the effects of the water/binder (w/b) ratios, the binder content, the types of mineral admixture, the …

Class 1A RCA is a well graded RCA with no more than 0.5% brick …
the recycled aggregate concrete is almost 85% and 80% of natural aggregate concrete. Amn on.et.al (2002), concrete having a 28 -day compressive strength of 28 MPa was crushed at ages 1, 3 and 28 days to serve as a source of aggregate for new concrete,
For recycled concrete aggregate from concrete waste, the use of up to 90% of recycled aggregate is allowed if water absorption is at most equal to 10% and content of contaminants up to 0.2%; meanwhile, for recycled concrete aggregate from demolition waste, the content of recycled aggregate is limited to 70%, while the limits …
Environmentally Sustainable. Arguably, one of the greatest advantages of recycled aggregate is the fact that it is environmentally sustainable. It typically uses far less energy during the production stages and eliminates the need for quarrying material. In addition, material deposits are where they are.
This study of structural concrete made with recycled concrete aggregate focuses on two issues: 1. The characterization of such aggregate on the Spanish market. This involved conducting standard ...
This is known as recycled concrete aggregate (RCA). The property and use of RCA for structural or non-structural concrete have been extensively studied and numerous findings have been adopted in engineering practice to produce sustainable concrete. Concrete rubble, however, is inevitably mixed with other wastes such as …
This article presents a comprehensive review on the use of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) in construction, …
The presence of RA creates a triple interfacial transition zone (ITZ) in new concrete and forms a much more complicated microstructure of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC), as illustrated in Fig. 1. When RAC is loaded, old ITZ (ITZ-Ⅱ) could merges with the new ITZs (ITZ-Ⅰ and ITZ-Ⅲ) between RA and new matrix to form an extended …
These findings show that the structural design of recycled aggregate concrete may be unsafe when code provisions developed for natural aggregate …
recycled aggregates, which were cured at 20 C in a water bath [8]. However, with of RCA there was a reduction in by 20-25% as compared to NA, at 28 days. with the same effective w /c of 0.5 ...
The properties of recycled concrete aggregate were tested according to Serbian standards for natural aggregates, as there are no standards for testing and quality requirements for recycled aggregates in Serbia. Obtained results showed that RCA properties satisfy quality requirements for natural aggregates except for the content of …
As a very promising sustainable construction material, recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) has become a hot research topic and attracted wide attention. Although many investigations have been conducted, it is still a great challenge to product RAC with satisfactory and stable performance for practical engineering application. In recent years ...
The recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) were obtained from demolished concrete elements of some buildings being wrecked for new construction work (in Shiraz, Iran). Based on the buildings' structural details, which complied with national building codes/regulations, the compressive strength of the concrete was 23 to 28 MPa (tested …
Notable examples include studies on: recycled concrete aggregate properties with amounts of old adhered mortars (Duan and Poon Citation 2014), the current status on the use of recycled aggregates in concrete (De Brito and Silva Citation 2016), a critical review and assessment of recycled aggregate as a sustainable construction …
The main goal of this study was to compare two use cycles of natural aggregate concrete and recycled aggregate concrete, which is another way to compare the environmental impacts of recycled …
The recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) is widely applied in existing engineering, due to the great economy and environmental protection. However, there are several disadvantages of RAC: complex existing mix design methods, lower strength, and brittleness. This chapter initially presents a simple mixed design method.
The main aim of this study is to review the literature on the production and utilisation of recycled aggregate in concrete, concrete pavements, roadway construction, and other civil engineering works and some discussion on the savings on CO 2 emissions have been included. The globally published data on recycled aggregate standards …
90% of the total C&D waste quantity by weight is made up of hardcore (concrete, masonry, bricks, tiles) Density of hardcore is estimated to be between 2100 to 2300 kg/m3. Proper sorting is necessary for C&D Waste to have meaningful applications. Recycled Concrete Aggregates. DESCRIPTION.
In the construction industry, natural aggregates (NA) can be replaced by recycled concrete aggregates (RCA), which can address the issue of construction-waste disposal and resolve the dilemma between demand and supply. This paper aims to systematically review the modification of RCA techniques and their application in …
Concrete made with recycled aggregates (20%, 50%, and replacement) from old masonry or from old concrete can have the same fresh workability and can achieve the same compressive strength of concrete made by natural aggregates in the range of 20–40 MPa at 28 days. •.
What follows is the detailed review of the existing literature concerning recycled wastes with potential to replace natural aggregates in concrete compositions for structural applications (Fig. 1).Besides reviewing the available alternatives, this document highlights the limitations of the practical application of these wastes as aggregates in …
Results show that the compressive strength of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) incorporating 20% CR in replacement of coarse aggregates is noticed 49% lower than NAC. However, the compressive strength and elastic modulus of compressed RAC and treated RAC incorporating 10-20% of CR in replacement of coarse aggregates are …
This is because in concrete mixing, the more the water film on the aggregate surface which escapes outward with concrete vibration, the greater the local water-cement ratio at the interface between the aggregate and mortar, and the greater the influence on the strength of the recycled concrete [70]. When the substitution rate is low …
In general, applications without any processing include: 1. many types of general bulk fills 2. bank protection 3. base or fill for drainage structures 4. road construction 5. noise barriers and embankments Most of the unprocessed crushed concrete aggregate is sold as 1½ inches or 2 inches … See more
