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.


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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
