Abstract The potential of construction waste as an alternative to the constituents of concrete has been generally examined to demonstrate their utility and ensure the climate and/or environment of its otherwise ill effects. The mechanical characteristics of concrete are investigated to comprehend its behaviour under compressive, tensile, and flexural loads. This experimental study investigates the effect of supplanting proportions of river aggregates with waste coarse aggregates in addition to the effect of basalt fiber additions on concrete mixes with (25 and 50%) substitutions of recycled waste coarse aggregates (RWCA). The workability of concrete mixes was negatively affected with recycled aggregates and/or basalt fiber inclusions. Using recycled aggregates with 25 and 50% replacements decreases the strength of concrete. On utilizing discrete proportions of basalt fiber with natural coarse aggregates, the strength was higher as compared to control mix however increasing the percentage of basalt fiber from 1% to 3% the compressive strength was reduced. On incorporating additions of basalt fiber with different proportions of RWCA, the strength of concrete was deteriorated as the percentage of fiber was increasing. For natural aggregates, the inclusion of fibers has negative effect on compressive strength however the tensile strength was increased with higher percentage of fibers. The inclusions of fibers to 25% recycled aggregate mixes, split tensile strength was much higher as compared to control mix. It was concluded that addition of basalt fibers provides a viable option to recycle recycled aggregate in concrete production.

The Cost

The properties of concrete containing coarse recycled aggregates were investigated. Laboratory trials were conducted to investigate the possibility of using recycled aggregates from the demolition wastes available locally as the replacement of natural coarse aggregates in concrete. A series of tests were carried out to determine the density, compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength and modulus of elasticity of concrete with and without recycled aggregates. The water cement ratio was kept constant for all the mixes. The coarse aggregate in concrete was replaced with 0%, 20%, 40%, 60%, 80% and 100% recycled coarse aggregates. The test results indicated that the replacement of natural coarse aggregates by recycled aggregates up to 40% had little effect on the compressive strength, but higher levels of replacement reduced the compressive strength. A replacement level of 100% causes a reduction of 28% in compressive strength, 36% in split tensile strength and 50% in flexural strength. For strength characteristics, the results showed a gradual decrease in compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength and modulus of elasticity as the percentage of recycled aggregate used in the specimens increased. 100% replacement of natural coarse aggregate by recycled aggregate resulted in 43% savings in the cost of coarse aggregates and 9% savings in the cost of concrete.

Now a days increase in population increases the demand of concrete for construction purpose and Aggregates are the important constituents in concrete.Re-use of demoliation waste avoids the problem of waste disposal and is also helpful in reducing the gap between demand and supply of fresh aggregates. This research deals with partial replacement of natural coarse aggregates (NCA) with recycled coarse aggregates (RCA) of age group 30 years and 35 years in different proportions like 20%, 30%, 40% . For this, M20 grade of concrete is adopted. Curing of specimens were done for 7days and 28 days to attain the maximum strengths. Partial replacement of fine aggregate with Granite powder at 5%, 10%, 15% were done to reduce the waste percentage as well to gain more strength. After casting the specimens of RCA with Granite powder replacement, curing was done and the specimens were tested for compressive and tensile strengths. Obtained results of compressive and tensile strengths of RCA concrete mix were compared with conventional concrete. In this direction, an experimental investigation of compressive and tensile strength was undertaken to use RCA as a partial replacement in concrete. It was observed that the concrete with recycled aggregates of 30years and 35years age group achieved maximum compressive strength of 29.03 N/mm2 , 28.96 N/mm2 and tensile strength of 11.91 N/mm2 , 10.34 N/mm2 were obtained at 40%replacement of RCA respectively. It is found that the compressive strength and Split tensile strength of RAC with copper slag was increased 8.20% and 2.90% when compared with the RAC.

In this study, the effect of using crumb rubber and recycled aggregates on the mechanical properties of concrete has been evaluated as areplacement of fine and coarse aggregates In order to add the admixtures and evaluate their combined effect, 20 different types of concrete mixture ratio were prepared. The results indicated that in those samples containing crumb rubber and recycled aggregates the compressive strength is reduced and adding fiber up to 0.1%. to these concrete samples can improve the compressive strength Also, the tensile strength of the samples mixed with crumb rubber and recycled aggregates were decreased, and with the addition of propylene fiber up to 0.4%. the tensile strength slightly increased Moreover by adding the crumb rubber to the samples the elasticity modulus was reduced but by adding fiber to samples about 0.1% and 0.2.% the modulus of elasticity of concrete in all samples were increased. According to the results, it can be said that using the combination of 5% of crumb rubber as a replacement of fine aggregate, and the combination of 35% of recycled aggregates as a replacement of coarse aggregate, and also by adding 0.1% polypropylene fiber in volumetric percentage of concrete along with adding 7% of micro silica as a replacement of cement led to the best effect on the mechanical properties of concrete.

One of the prime objectives of this review is to understand the role of design parameters on the mechanical properties (Compressive and split tensile strength) of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) with recycled aggregates (Recycled Coarse Aggregates (RCA) and Recycled Fine Aggregates (RFA)). The design parameters considered for review are Water to Cement (W/C) ratio, Water to Binder (W/B) ratio, Total Aggregates to Cement (TA/C) ratio, Fine Aggregate to Coarse Aggregate (FA/CA) ratio, Water to Solid (W/S) ratio in percentage, superplasticizer (SP) content (kg/cu.m), replacement percentage of RCA, and replacement percentage of RFA. It is observed that with respect to different grades of SCC, designed parameters affect the mechanical properties of SCC with recycled aggregates.

Numerous research studies have been conducted to improve the weak properties of recycled aggregate as a construction material over the last few decades. In two-stage concrete (TSC), coarse aggregates are placed in formwork, and then grout is injected with high pressure to fill up the voids between the coarse aggregates. In this experimental research, TSC was made with 100% recycled coarse aggregate (RCA). Ten percent and twenty percent bagasse ash was used as a fractional substitution of cement along with the RCA. Conventional concrete with 100% natural coarse aggregate (NCA) and 100% RCA was made to determine compressive strength only. Compressive strength reduction in the TSC was 14.36% when 100% RCA was used. Tensile strength in the TSC decreased when 100% RCA was used. The increase in compressive strength was 8.47% when 20% bagasse ash was used compared to the TSC mix that had 100% RCA. The compressive strength of the TSC at 250 °C was also determined to find the reduction in strength at high temperature. Moreover, the compressive and tensile strength of the TSC that had RCA was improved by the addition of bagasse ash.

Waterway sand and pit sand are the most normally utilized fine aggregates for concrete creation in many parts of the world. Huge scale extraction of these materials presents genuine ecological risk in numerous parts of the nation. Aside from the ecological danger, there still exists the issue of intense lack in many regions. In this way, substitute material in place of river sand for concrete production should be considered. The paper means to examine the compressive and split tensile qualities of concrete produced using quarry residue, sand, and a blend of sand and quarry dust. The experimentation is absolutely research facility based. A total of 60 concrete cubes of size 150 mm x 150 mm x 150 mm, and 60 cylinders 150 mm in diameter and 300 mm deep, conforming to M50 grade were casted. All the samples were cured and tested with a steady water/concrete proportion of 0.31. Out of the 60 blocks cast, 20 each were made out of natural river sand, quarry dust and an equivalent blend of sand and quarry dust. It was discovered that the compressive strength and split tensile strength of concrete produced using the blend of quarry residue and sand was higher than the compressive qualities of concrete produced using 100% sand and 100% quarry dust.

Construction is a serious environmental problem and a challenge for people who concerned with sustainability in the construction field. Previous studies showed positive results for the use of recycled aggregates in the concrete production. This study portrays the results for utilizing construction debris for casting different types of concrete blocks. The recycled concrete debris was used in different ratios (0%, 50%, and 100%) in replacement for natural coarse aggregates for different targeted compressive strength (B250, B300, B350 and B400). Two types of water (pure and sea water) were used for curing the blocks. In addition, hollow block and paving block were casted with different ratios of recycled aggregate (0%, 20%, 45% and 100%) and cured with two types of water. The results showed a decrease in compressive strength with the increase recycled aggregate content. It was also noticed that the absorption capacity increases with high recycled aggregate content.

Recycled aggregates are those crushed cement concrete or asphalt pavement which comes out from the construction debris which is reused in construction. They are made from the reprocessing of materials which have been used in previous constructions. This paper discusses about the study of properties of recycled aggregates from the sources which has already been published. The results are that 100% replacement of natural aggregate by recycled concrete aggregate effect on chloride ions resistance, it plays negative effects on durability of recycled concrete aggregates, and addition of fiber in recycled aggregate concrete mixture gave more effective in the performance of concrete. On experimental study of recycled aggregate, compressive, flexural and split tensile strength of the recycled aggregate were found to be lower than that of the natural aggregate. Use of recycled aggregate in a new concrete production is still limited. Recommendation of introduction of recycled aggregates standard is required for the materials to be used successfully in future. Gaps in literature reviews are also included in this paper.

Recycled aggregates (RCA) are the aggregates which are made up of crushed, inorganic particles that are obtained from the construction demolition debris. Now a day’s protection of environment is the ultimate challenge to the society. So the usage of RCA’s is the best alternative for the aggregates which are obtained naturally in the construction activity. The scope of using these recycled concrete aggregates is increasing day by day. It reduces the cost effectively as we are using waste concrete as recycled aggregates. The main focus of this paper is to use find the strength qualities of recycled aggregates so as to use it as an alternative for the natural aggregates in high strength concrete for various construction activities. Comparison of workability, compressive strength, tensile strength, elastic modulus and flexural strength of recycled aggregate concrete is made with natural aggregate concrete. Here M25 grade concrete is taken and the natural aggregates were replaced with recycled aggregates in various percentages of 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. The mix design for these replacement ratios are done by using code of IS 10262-2009. In order to determine the properties which were mentioned above a total of 60 cubes, 10 beams and 40 cylinders were casted. The compressive strength and tensile strength of RCA concrete have been determined for 7 days and 28 days where as the modulus of elasticity and the flexural strength of RCA concrete are determined after curing for the period of 28 days. The tests done on RCA concrete are compared with concrete which is obtained by natural aggregates As per IS codification the parameters which were determined are reducing moderately as the amount of aggregates which are recycled is being raised

The effects of simultaneous use of recycled aggregates and ground blast furnace slag as a percentage of cement-constituting materials on different properties of fresh self-compacting concrete (SCC) are investigated in this study. To this end, three series of SCC mixtures with a fixed volume of cement paste equalling 380 ltr/m3 (2.36 gal/ft3) and the replacement ratio of coarse aggregates (fifty percent and one hundred percent) and total aggregates (zero percent, fifty percent and one hundred percent) were prepared. The water content ratios in the first, second and third series were 0.4, 0.45, and 0.5, respectively. The results of the compressive strength tests for 7-day, 14-day and 28-day cubic specimens and compressive strength and Brazilian test results for 28-day cylindrical specimens were used as control parameters governing the SCC resistive quality. The results of fresh SCC tests (including slump-flow and T50 tests, V-funnel test, and L-box test) showed that the negative effect of recycled fine aggregates on fresh SCC properties is significantly more than that of recycled coarse aggregate. However, recycled SCC with acceptable properties can be obtained with a slight increase in the amount of superplasticisers used in the presence of slag.
