The properties of recycled coarse aggregate and the slump, the physical and mechanical properties and durability of recycled aggregate concrete were studied through tests. The results indicate that the slump, compressive strength and durability of concrete with recycled aggregate are lower than that of concrete with natural aggregate when recycled coarse aggregate fully absorbs water. However, the slump can be similar to that of concrete with natural aggregate. The properties of recycled aggregate concrete can be improved by strengthening the recycled coarse aggregate, and it is also found that the recycled coarse aggregate strengthened by grinding is superior to that soaked by chemical solution.

This paper addresses durability and shrinkage performance of the self-compacting concretes (SCCs) in which natural coarse aggregate (NCA) and/or natural fine aggregate (NFA) were replaced by recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) and/or recycled fine aggregate (RFA), respectively. A total of 16 SCCs were produced and classified into four series, each of which included four mixes designed with two water to binder (w/b) ratios of 0.3 and 0.43 and two silica fume replacement levels of 0 and 10%. Durability properties of SCCs were tested for rapid chloride penetration, water sorptivity, gas permeability, and water permeability at 56 days. Also, drying shrinkage accompanied by the water loss and restrained shrinkage of SCCs were monitored over 56 days of drying period. Test results revealed that incorporating recycled coarse and/or fine aggregates aggravated the durability properties of SCCs tested in this study. The drying shrinkage and restrained shrinkage cracking of recycled aggregate (RA) concretes had significantly poorer performance than natural aggregate (NA) concretes. The time of cracking greatly prolonged as the RAs were used along with the increase in water/binder ratio.


This article mainly focused on the influence of recycle coarse aggregate and manufactured sand on the properties of self compacting concrete (SCC). The main purpose of this research is reuse of recycled aggregate in SCC and also to reduce use of fine aggregate by replacing manufactured sand. The SCC mixtures were prepared with 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100% replacement of recycle coarse aggregate in natural coarse aggregate and M-Sand in fine aggregate with a Water/Binder ratio of 0.36. Different test covering fresh properties of these SCC mixtures were executed the results were compared with EFNARC guidelines and IS 10262:2019. The feasibility of utilizing recycled aggregate and M-Sand in self compacting concrete has been examined and found that it is suitable for concrete.

Pervious concrete is a mixture of cement, coarse aggregate mixed with water. The absence of fine aggregate helps increase the voids and water can pass through these gaps and reaches to ground level. The use of recycled coarse aggregates from construction and demolition is a sustainable solution with many environmental benefits and also reduces the number of virgin aggregates to be created, hence reducing the extraction of natural resources. This paper reviews the research developments of pervious concrete by replacing natural aggregates with different percentages of recycled coarse aggregate. The papers under consideration of review have conducted to identify various properties of pervious concrete such as mechanical and hydrological properties. Keywords— pervious concrete, compressive strength, permeability

The properties of recycled coarsee aggregates from repeatedly recycling waste concrete were determined. In this study, five series of concrete mixtures using coarse and fine natural aggregates were prepared, which have the same objective slump value from 35mm to 50mm and different compressive strengths ranging from 25MPa to 60 MPa. These five concretes were crushed, sieved, washed with water, hot treatmented at 300°C before they were used as recycled aggregates. After that, recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) was produced with an objectively compressive strength of 30MPa, in which the recycled coarse aggregate was used as 30%, 70% and 90% replacements of natural coarse aggregate and recycled fine aggregate as 10%, 20%, and 30% replacements of natural fine aggregate. After that, these recycled concretes were used as second recycled aggregates to produce RAC with the same objectively compressive strength of 30MPa. The physical properties of coarse aggregates including apparent density, water absorption, attached mortar content and crushing value were tested and their mineral characteristics were analyzed. The results showed that the quality of recycled coarse aggregates from twicely recycling waste concrete reached the requirements from structural concrete.

The strength properties of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) using aggregates from repeatedly recycling concrete waste were studied. The relationships between cube compressive strength and splitting tensile strength and between each strength and replacement ratio of recycled aggregate to natural aggregate were established. The results showed that the strength properties of RAC with the design strength of 30MPa can be satisfied when the quality of recycled coarse and fine aggregates met respectively the needs of Grade II in GB/T25177-2010 and Grade III in GB/T25176-2010, with the replacement ratio to natural coarse aggregate and natural fine aggregate no more than 70% and 50%. Both strengths decreased and then increased for a while before descending again with increasing replacement ratio of recycled coarse aggregate, and decreased continuously with the increase of replacement ratio of recycled fine aggregate. The relationship between cube compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of RAC was found to be exponential function.

This work aims to study the influence of using construction and demolition waste in the replacement of coarse and fine aggregate to produce recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). A moderate compressive strength concrete made with usual fine and coarse aggregate was used as a benchmark material. Compressive and split tensile tests were performed using 120 cylindrical concrete specimens with 150 mm diameter and 300 mm length. Four-point flexural tests in reinforced beams made with conventional concrete and RAC were performed. The results obtained showed that the use of recycled fine aggregates, in both percentages of substitution investigated—50% and 100%— did not generate any deleterious influence on the values of compressive strength and split tensile strength of the RACs produced. Tin fact, the mechanical strengths of RACs produced with recycled fine aggregate were equal or higher than those from the reference concrete. The same behavior was not observed, however, when the recycled coarse aggregate was used. For this case, decreases in concrete mechanical strengths were observed, especially in compressive strength, with values around 35% lower when compared to the reference concrete. Tensile mechanical tests results confirmed the excellent behavior of all RACs made with replacement of usual fine aggregates by recycled. Bending tests performed in reinforced RAC beams had as objective to evaluate the deformation profile of the beams. The obtained results showed that RAC beams with full replacement of usual fine aggregate by the recycled aggregates have presented little changes in the global behavior, an aspect that encourages its use.

Demolishing concrete building usually produces huge amounts of remains and wastes worldwide that have promising possibilities to be utilized as coarse aggregate for new mixes of concrete. High numbers of structures around the world currently need to be removed for several reasons, such as reaching the end of the expected life, to be replaced by new investments, or were not built by the local and international standards. Maintaining or removal of such structures leads to large quantities of concrete ruins. Reusing these concrete wastes will help in saving landfill spaces in addition to more sustainability in natural resources. The objective of this study is to investigate the possibility of using old recycled concrete as coarse aggregate to make new concrete mixes, and its effect on the evolution of the compressive strength of the new concrete mixes.  Core samples for demolished concrete were tested to determine its compressive strength. The core test results can be thought of as aggregate properties for the new concrete. Then, the compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of the new recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) were determined experimentally by casting a cubes and cylinders, respectively. It was found that the evolution of compressive strength of recycled aggregate concrete is similar in behavior to the concrete with natural aggregate, except that it is about 10% lower in values. It was also seen that water absorption for recycled aggregate is noticeably higher than that for natural aggregate, and should be substituted for in the mix design.


-Continuous raw material demand was increased in concrete productions which requires good quality and cost efficient alternative materials like Recycled Coarse Aggregate, M Sand and Glass as aggregate. This paper reports the behaviour of concrete using Glass aggregate as Fine Aggregate and Recycled aggregate as Coarse Aggregate replacement in concrete up to 15% and 30% respectively. In this project work, the concrete grade M25 was selected and IS method was used for mix design. The properties of Cement, M-Sand, Natural Coarse Aggregate, Glass asAggregate and Recycled Aggregate were investigated. The Beam Specimens were casted with and without C&D waste (Coarse Aggregate Replaced with Recycled Aggregate at 30% and Fine Aggregates replaced with Glass Aggregate at 15%). Vibration Analysis were made by using FFT analyser to determine acceleration characteristics. The work is focused on possible conservation of natural resources by substituting with waste material by suggesting a possible reuse option for Construction waste.
