Get MoreHistory. 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 proved to be much more cost-intensive in terms of labor.
Get MoreRecycled concrete rubbles can be used as coarse aggregate in concrete. Production of RAC also results in generation of many by-products having many uses such as a ground improvement material, a concrete addition, an asphalt filler etc. Recycled Aggregate use in India.
Get MoreRecycled coarse aggregate is the weakest phase given a low water/cement ratio. This effect will dominate the mechanical properties of recycled concrete. On the contrary, using recycled aggregate in concrete has little effect on its mechanical properties if the water/cement ratio is high. This mechanism does not occur in recycled mortar.
Get MoreRecycling of construction and demolition waste is a central point of discussion throughout the world. The application of recycled concrete as partial replacement of mineral aggregates in concrete mixes is one of the alternatives in the reduction of pollution and savings in carbon emissions. The combined influence of the recycled crushed concrete, lime, and natural pozzolana on the mechanical ...

Get MoreRecycled concrete rubbles are used as coarse aggregate in concrete. Production of RAC leads to the generation of many by-products. It has many uses such as a ground improvement material, an asphalt filler, a concrete addition, etc. Advantages of recycled aggregate concrete:
Get MoreThis is useful in reducing the environmental problems created by dumping these materials. 2. The use of concrete rubbles as coarse aggregate in concrete mixes resulted in a decrease in the strength depending on the replacement ratio and the grade of concrete. Such an effect can be cared for by reducing the w/c ratio 3.

Concrete made with such recycled concrete aggregate is called recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). The main purpose of this work is to determine the basic properties of RAC made of coarse recycled concrete aggregate then to compare ...
Get Moreabout the use of recycled concrete construction rubble as aggregate for new concrete because there will, potentially, be a shortage of aggregate supplies in New Zealand in the future. The report concluded that the use of recycled concrete construction rubble as coarse aggregate for concrete is a viable proposition [4].
Get MoreThe recycling of demolished masonry rubble as the coarse aggregate in new concrete represents an interesting possibility at a time when the cost of dumping such material is on the increase.
Get MoreTherefore, the use of superplasticizers in high-quality recycled aggregates concrete is highly recommended, leading to excellent performances. The coarse recycled aggregates generated from precast elements and the use of superplasticizers open new perspectives for recycled aggregates concrete, enabling the production of high-performance concrete.
Get MoreRecycled concrete aggregate (RCA) is produced by crushing demolished concrete to use in new construction. It is most commonly used as a base course in new pavement construction, but it can also be used as a coarse aggregate in new concrete. This practice has been researched and used in the pavement industry since the 1970's [1]–[3].

Get MoreTwo sources of recycled coarse aggregates were used. Both were recycled C&D waste sourced from two recycling facilities in Hong Kong. The first one, RA, contained mainly crushed natural stones such as granite and marble sourced from excavated work, and some old concrete rubbles and a very small amount of other impurities (0.2%), such as small pieces of wood, tiles and metals.

RESULTS Figure 2 shows the relationship between the percentage of the coarse aggregate replaced by concrete rubbles and the percentage of the original slump for all mixes.
Get MoreAlso, higher RCA content increases water absorption but decreases density, thus leading to increased porousness in concrete. The use of 50% and coarse RCA increases the water absorption and decreases the density of concrete by about 0.15-0.37% and 2.12-3.40%, respectively (Grdic et al. 2010).
