However, as shown in Chapter 5, there is a greater probability of recycled masonry aggregates (RMAs) showing higher water absorption capacity compared with RCA and
Although manufacturing recycled aggregate concrete can contribute to worse carbon footprint than virgin aggregate concrete [165], this was verified by Xiao et. al. [97]. Two

The results of a test programme to study the use of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) in highstrength, 50 N/mm2 or greater, concrete are described. The effects of coarse RCA
In order to confirm the benefits of recycled concrete aggregate, different percentages of RCA mix samples were prepared as follows [1]: a Mix 1: 50% RCA (coarse aggregate:
Concrete made with natural sand and up to a 30% replacement of the natural coarse aggregates with recycled concrete aggregates exhibits the same
Brett et al2 (2010) insist that the use of recycled aggregates in concrete is both economically viable & technically feasible. In addition to demolition waste sources,
What Is Recycled Concrete Aggregate? Recycled concrete aggregates ( RACs ) are an alternative to the use in concrete of natural aggregates ( NA ). Recycled concrete aggregates ( RCA ) are
In Japan, recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and recycledaggregate concrete (RAC) are standardized in the Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) A 5021–5023. The differences between the specifications in JIS and those in foreign countries are explained. In Japan, the durability of RAC under severe conditions, particularly freezing
Use of recycled aggregate in concrete can be useful for environmental protection. Recycled aggregates are the materials for the future. The application of recycled aggregate has been started in a large number of construction projects of many European, American, Russian and Asian countries. Many countries are giving infrastructural laws
Recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) are used in existing green building composites to promote the environmental preservation of natural coarse aggregates (NCA). Besides, the use of RCA leads to potential solutions to the social and economic problems caused by concrete waste. It is found that insufficient information on the longevity and

The research concentrated on the use of concrete demolition waste (CDW) to achieve long sustainability, as coarse aggregate in the production of Recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). Concrete demolition waste (RCA) is used to replace natural coarse aggregates (NCA) in M25 grade concrete production, preserving natural resources and reducing the
The incorporation of recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) in hotmix asphalt (HMA) could be a way to promote sustainable construction. To date, several investigations have examined the use of this
Recycled Aggregates from Construction and Demolition Waste in the Production of Concrete Blocks. The construction industry generates large amounts of waste, usually mixed, which can be composed of different origin materials, most of them catalogued as nonhazardous. The European Union targets.
History. Recycled concrete aggregates or Crushed concrete aggregates has been in use since the ancient times, only to be integrated with gravel, sand, and cement to ensure durability. The practice was first recorded in the 1860s. US construction companies were reluctant to use the technique at first since crushing cured concrete
The use of recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) form construction and demolition waste (C&DW) in construction, as an alternative to natural aggregates, has strong potential. The use of RCA preserves the natural resources and reduces the space required for the disposal of RCA in landfill. The quantity of C&DW is also increasing rapidly every year
The use of recycled aggregates in concrete prove to be a valuable building materials in technical, environment and economical respect Recycled aggregate posses relatively lower bulk density,
Aggregate is an essential component in concrete, occupying 60–70% of the concrete by volume. Nevertheless, the application of natural aggregate (NA) is restricted due to the finite resources and long regeneration period. Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA), as common C&D waste, has received widespread attention for its usage to

The application of recycled aggregate has been started in a large number of construction projects of many European, American, Russian and Asian countries.

His main research topic is sustainable construction, particularly on the use of recycled aggregates in concrete and mortars. He has participated in 20 competitively financed research projects (four as
However, during the last decade the use of recycled fine aggregates (RFA) has achieved a great international interest, mainly because of economic implications related to the shortage of natural sands suitable for the production of concrete, besides to allow an integral use of this type of waste. In this study, the durable behaviour of

Introduction. In developing countries, the rapid rise in building construction has tremendously increased the consumption of concrete [1,2]. As natural aggregates (NA) constitute approximately 2/3 of concrete, recycling construction waste is more attractive than developing alternative raw materials for environmental protection and reducing the use of
Therefore, this would reduce the carbon footprint of quarrying virgin aggregates. Different batches of concrete with ratios of 25%, 50% and 75% recycled material will replace the virgin aggregate. The maximum and minimum quantity of recycled aggregate required for an ideal concrete mix design can then be obtained.
The use of recycled concrete aggregate is an important issue for preserving the natural resources, protecting the environment, saving of energy and for sustainable development. In this study, a unique simple mixture proportioning method was successfully adopted for developing SCC based on the absolute volume concept, starting with a volume of
