Portland cement is the main binder of concrete, and its production (estimated at 4.3 bi ton/year) accounts for about 8% of the global CO 2 emission [].Besides the CO 2 emission released by cement production, large amounts of sand and gravel are …









Natural disasters and human demolition create vast amounts of construction and demolition waste (CDW), with a substantial portion being concrete waste. Managing this concrete waste is a daunting challenge for developing countries with limited resources, aiming to mitigate its harmful environmental effects. Therefore, the proposed approach …



In Germany the use of recycled aggregates is possible within certain limits since the introduction of the DAfStb guideline in 1998. Due to increasing demands of concretes fulfilling requirements regarding sustainability, conservation of resources and avoidance of waste the topic of recycled aggregates has again become the focus of …

Confronting with the problems of C&D waste disposal and raw materials shortage at the same time, researchers developed recycled concrete [12]. ... Previous studies on recycled aggregate concrete used natural aggregate concrete as a …







What is recycled aggregate? Recycled aggregate is derived from crushing inert construction and demolition waste. It may be classified as crushed concrete aggregate (CCA) when consisting primarily of crushed concrete or more general recycled aggregate (RA) when it contains substantial quantities of materials other than crushed …







Flexural strength of recycled aggregate concrete showed similar trends like the other properties. Studies shown that the flexural strength using recycled concrete aggregates varied by 16-23% with different replacement levels [41]. Hansen (2014) stated that using RCAs in the SSD state compensates for the workability loss in the mix [42].

This study investigates the potential of incorporating recycled fine aggregates (RFA) into sustainable concrete. In this research, a conventional compaction technique is utilized to establish the order of compressive strength and, consequently, to assess particle packing density in terms of weight within a specific cylindrical volume …







Construction and demolition activities consume large amounts of natural resources, generating 4.5 bi tons of solid waste/year, called construction and demolition waste (C&DW) and other wastes, such as ceramic, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), glass, and slag. Furthermore, around 32 bi tons of natural aggregate (NA) are extracted …



Use Of Recycled Aggregate In Concrete -BY Mr. Tushar R Sonawane RESEARCH GRADUATE MAEER‟S MIT PUNE, Prof. Dr. Sunil S. Pimplikar H. O. D. CIVIL ENGG. DEPARTMENT, MAEER‟S MIT PUNE. _____ ABSTRACT Use of recycled aggregate in concrete can be useful for environmental protection. Recycled aggregates are the …





Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) is a matter of high priority in the construction industry worldwide. In countries like the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany, USA, Japan, France recycled concrete aggregates obtained from demolition are valorized up to 90%, mainly for road construction and less in the manufacture of new concrete.





RAC is processed from solid construction waste. Particles with particle sizes between 75 µm and 4.75 mm are called recycled fine aggregate, while those with particle sizes greater than 4.75 mm are called recycled coarse aggregate [31]pared with natural aggregate, RCCA is coated with a large amount of old mortar, which generally …

Fig. 10 shows concrete containing natural coarse aggregate and recycled brick coarse aggregate (Liu et al., 2021). Hence, the RCA's physical, chemical, and mechanical characteristics must be investigated before use (Mills-Beale and You, 2010). As previously discussed, it is important to note that these properties would differ from the …







This paper discusses the suitability of producing concrete with 100 % recycled aggregate to meet durability and strength requirements for different applications. Aggregate strength, gradation, absorption, specific gravity, shape and texture are some of the physical and mechanical characteristics that contribute to the strength and durability …
