This article presents an overview of the bibliographic picture of the design parameter’s influence on the mix proportion of self-compacting concrete with recycled aggregate. Design parameters like water-cement ratio, water to paste ratio, and percentage of superplasticizers are considered in this review. Standardization and recent research on the usage of recycled aggregates in self-compacting concrete (SCC) exploit its significance in the construction sector. The usage of recycled aggregate not only resolves the negative impacts on the environment but also prevents the usage of natural resources. Furthermore, it is necessary to understand the recycled aggregate property’s role in a mixed design and SCC properties. Design parameters are not only influenced by a mix design but also play a key role in SCC’s fresh properties. Hence, in this overview, properties of SCC ingredients, calculation of design parameters in mix design, the effect of design parameters on fresh concrete properties, and the evolution of fresh concrete properties are studied.

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.

In this paper, the fresh properties of self-compacting concrete (SCC) using recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) were evaluated. Five types of SCC mixtures were made, where the percentage of substitution of natural coarse aggregate by RCA was 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%. The cement content, water to binder (W/B) ratio and Superplasticizer dosage were kept the same for all mixes. The effects of RCA on the key fresh properties such as filling ability, passing ability, and segregation resistance of SCC were investigated by conducting several fresh concrete tests included slump-flow, L-box, and sieve stability tests. The overall test results suggest that RCA can be used to produce SCC substituting up to 100% natural coarse aggregates without affecting the key fresh properties of concrete.

The Impact

Most concrete studies are concentrated on mechanical properties especially strength properties either directly or indirectly (fresh and durability properties). Hence, the ratio of split tensile strength to compressive strength plays a vital role in defining the concrete properties. In this review, the impact of design parameters on the strength ratio of various grades of Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) with recycled aggregate is assessed. The design parameters considered for the study 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 recycled coarse aggregates (RCA), replacement percentage of recycled fine aggregates (RFA), fresh density and loading area of the specimen. It is observed that the strength ratio of SCC with recycled aggregates is affected by design parameters.

This paper deals with the possibility of using fresh concrete waste as recycled aggregates in concrete. An experimental program based on two variables (proportion of fine aggregates replacement and proportion of coarse aggregates replacement) was implemented. The proportions of replacement were 0%, 50%, and 100% by mass of aggregates. Several mechanical properties were tested as compressive and tensile strengths. The results show a good correlation between aggregates replacement percentage and concrete properties. Concerning mechanical properties, a gradual decrease in compressive, splitting, and flexural strengthn with the increase in recycled aggregate percentage is shown.

To develop a sustainable concrete and to minimize the depletion of the natural resources, an attempt was made to develop sustainable concrete mixtures benefiting from the geopolymer technology and the use of recycled aggregate in self-compacting geopolymer concrete (SCGC). This study aim to examine the effects of sodium hydroxide (SH) molarity and sodium silicate (Na2SiO3)/ sodium hydroxide (SS/SH) ration the fresh properties of SCGC mixtures containing recycled coarse aggregates (RCA) Mixes were prepared with three different molarity (8M, 10M and 12M) of) and four SS/SH ratios (1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0). Six mixes were examined in this study. The results were compared with the EFNARC limits for self-compacting concrete (SCC). It was found that the SS/SH ratio and the molarity of SH affect the fresh properties of (SCGC). However, the results showed that, SCGC mixtures containing RCA can be developed and satisfy the requirements of EFNARC for fresh state of SCC.

Concrete Concept

The use of recycled aggregate in any concrete saves the virgin coarse and fine aggregates to create for the production of concrete. This concept will deliver an ecofriendly, reduced eviction of natural resources and produce a green concrete concept. Coarse aggregate consists of more than 60% of total volume in ordinary concrete but only 40% is required for Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) by weight. Demolished concrete wastes which are crushed and sieved to the size are used as substitute for natural coarse aggregates. In this paper natural coarse aggregate in self-compacting concrete is replaced with 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90% & 100% recycled aggregates in mix design. Furthermore, a detailed study on workability and hardened properties of specially proportioned mixes are also carried out and satisfactory results are obtained. Thus the derived SCC can come up with reduced CO2 emissions, economical and energy saving with all additional well-known advantages of fluid concrete.

Because the production of aggregates for mortar and concrete is no longer sustainable, many attempts have been made to replace natural aggregates (NA) with recycled aggregates (RA) sourced from factories, recycling centers, and human activities such as construction and demolition works (C&D). This article reviews papers concerning mortars with fine RA from C&D debris, and from the by-products of the manufacturing and recycling processes of building materials. A four-step methodology based on searching, screening, clustering, and summarizing was proposed. The clustering variables were the type of aggregate, mix design parameters, tested properties, patents, and availability on the market. The number and the type of the clustering variables of each paper were analysed and compared. The results showed that the mortars were mainly characterized through their physical and mechanical properties, whereas few durability and thermal analyses were carried out. Moreover, few fine RA were sourced from the production waste of construction materials. Finally, there were no patents or products available on the market. The outcomes presented in this paper underlined the research trends that are useful to improve the knowledge on the suitability of fine RA from building-related processes in mortars.

Characteristics Development

The paper presents obtained results of self-compacting concretes with various compositions with focus on basic characteristics development. Firstly the fresh concrete properties are summed and self-compactness classes are categorised and subsequently the values of compressive strength, static and dynamic modulus of elasticity of hardened concretes are compared. All the stated parameters were monitored during different ages of the concrete and therefore they provide a view of its development in time. With still enlarging scale of concrete types and development of their application it is necessary to monitor common parameters which due to the application of new concepts in raw material compositions and use of higher amounts of additives may notably differ compared to applied orthodox concrete parameters.

Viscosity modifying admixtures (VMA), known as an important component, are water-soluble polymers that can increase the viscosity and cohesion of self-compacting concrete( SCC). This article presents the effect of four different types of VMA on the workability of SCC , which including flowability, filling ability, passing ability and segregation resistance ability of the fresh concrete. The results show that the low viscosity of VMA satisfies the workability requirement of fresh properties of SCC.
