This article presents the influence of the Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) on the mechanical properties of self-compacting fly ash concrete (M30 Grade). The RCA from local construction demolition site were employed as a replacement for natural coarse aggregate (0% - 30%) in self-compacting concrete (SCC). The Viscosity modifying material used in this study was Class F fly ash. The results indicate that recycled concrete aggregate can be replaced by an optimal 25% replacement percentage in the manufacture of SCC without significantly affecting strength and durability.

The utilisation of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) in Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) has the potential to reduce both the environmental impact and financial cost associated with this increasingly popular concrete type. However, to date limited research exists exploring the use of coarse RCA in SCC. The work presented in this paper seeks to build on the existing knowledge in this area by examining the workability, strength, and fracture properties of SCCs containing 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% coarse RCA. The experimental programme indicated that at RCA utilisation levels of 25% to 50% little or no negative impact was observed for strength, workability, or fracture properties, with the exception of a slight reduction in Young’s modulus.

This article presents the influence of the Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) on the durability behavior of self-compacting fly ash concrete (M30 Grade). The RCA from local construction demolition site wereemployed as a replacement for natural coarse aggregate (0% - 30%) in self-compacting concrete(SCC). The Viscosity modifying material used in this study was Class F fly ash. Different kinds of tests were conducted on the concrete specimens such as water absorption test, sulphate attack, chloride attack, carbonation test,sorptivity test, etc., When the durability behavior was taken into consideration,the summary of results indicate that recycled concrete aggregate different percentage of replacements as the optimal percentagein the manufacture of SCC without much affecting strength and durability.

The major content in concrete is aggregates. Reduce its usage and replaced with recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) could not only mitigate consuming of natural resources but avoid the treatment of solid wastes. Furthermore, producing self-compacting concrete (SCC) with RCA is a way for traditional construction industry in saving energy and avoiding noise emission. To seek the proper way in preparation of SCC with RCA, preparation of RCA, composition design, microstructure evolution with hydration, and mechanical properties are investigated within this study. It is found that successful producing of SCC with RCA is not a complicated process.
