As the amount of waste concrete has been increased and recycling technique advances, this study investigates the applicability of recycled concrete aggregate for concrete structures. In addition fly ash, the industrial by-product, was considered in the concrete mix. Experimental program performed compressive strength and chloride penetration resistance tests with various replacement levels of fine recycled concrete aggregate and fly ash. In most case, the design strength, 40MPa, was obtained. It was known that the replacement of the fine aggregate with fine RCA may have greater influence on the strength development rather than the addition of fly ash. It is recommended that when complete coarse aggregate is replaced with RCA the fine RCA replacement should be less than 60%. The recycled aggregate concrete can achieve sufficient resistance to the chloride ion penetration and the resistance can be more effectively controlled by adding fly ash. It I finally conclude that the recycled concrete aggregate can be successfully used in the construction field and the recycling rate of waste concrete and flay ash should be increased without causing significant engineering problems.

The main objective of this work is to evaluate the properties of hot asphalt mixtures that have been manufactured with different recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) percentages (0%, 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% of the fraction 5–13 mm) and asphalt (4%, 4.5% and 5%). Dense asphalt mixtures were made; partially replacing the natural aggregate (NA) fraction between 5 and 13 mm. Marshall specimens were manufactured to determine the main properties of the asphalt concrete (AC) in terms of density, voids, stability and deformation. Additionally, the optimal asphalt content (OAC) was determined, and measured the water sensibility, the stiffness modulus and the permanent deformation. The results corroborate the potential for using these sources of construction and demolition waste (CDW) as a RCA in asphalt concrete and show that the hot asphalt mixtures with up to 40% substitution of natural aggregate by recycled aggregate in the fraction 5–13 mm present good behavior.

In order to better understand the recycled concrete aggregate, it is essential to investigate the different mixture ratio in it. For determining the better mixture ratio of recycled concrete aggregate, the experimental investigation was conducted by making use of recycled concrete aggregate of different ratio instead of small stones in concrete, while maintaining the proportion of other raw materials of concrete unchanged. Its mechanical properties were also investigated. It is found that the better materials proportion of recycled concrete is that sand: recycled aggregate: water= 1: 1.8 : 2.1: 0.55.

In the article the possibility of utilization of two waste materials: Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) fraction 0-2 mm and Class C fly ash (from lignite burning power plant) in Controlled Low-Strength Material (CLSM) was presented. The research covered twelve different mixtures. The mixtures differed in cement and fly ash content as well as content of the fine aggregate. As a fine aggregate 0-2 mm fraction of RCA or river sand were used. The results showed that use the fine fraction RCA instead of sand does not cause technological problems and allows, depending on the needs, obtaining the material with different properties and a wide range of applications.

This paper presents a study that aimed to assess the chloride penetration depth of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) modified by using treated coarse recycled concrete aggregate (RCA), adding polyolefin (PO) or polypropylene (PP) fibre and comparing with normal concrete. The coupling effects of the treated RCA and fibres on the chloride penetration of RAC were analysed after two different curing regimes (i.e. normal and seawater) and tested at different curing ages (i.e. 90, 180 and 300 days). Results showed that the inclusion of treated coarse RCA can reduce porosity, thereby decreasing the chloride penetration of RAC. However, the coupling effects of treated coarse RCA and fibre, especially on the use of PO fibre, can enhance the results.

Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and crushed clay bricks (CCB) have been increasingly researched and used in past two decades. However, studies focusing on the properties of dry-mortar with RCA and CCB are very limited. In this research, results from physical and mechanical properties of recycled mortar with fine recycled aggregate (FRA), fine recycled powder (FRP) and crushed clay brick (CCB) were secured. It is shown that sinking degree of FRA mortar can be adjusted in the range of 70-90mm and their water-maintainability is superior to natural sand mortar. However, compressive strength of FRA mortar at various ages decrease, compared to natural sand mortar under the condition of same mixed proportion. Compressive strength of FRA mortar is above 5.0MPa with mass ratio of aggregate to cement lower than 6.0.Workability of FRP and CCB mortar is similar to fly ash mortar and their apparent densities are under the 2.0g/cm3. Compressive strength of FRP and CCB mortar is near to 8.5 MPa at 28 days of age.

In the article the possibility of utilization of two waste materials: Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) fraction 4-16 mm and Class F fly ash (from coal burning power plant) in high perfor-mance concrete (HPC) was presented. Concrete with RCA were made with varying amount of cement and Suplementary Cementing Materials (SCM). The specimens of concrete were tested to compare mechanical properties as well as some properties related to the durability of concrete. Compression strength values up to 71.40 MPa were achieved and good values of properties determinig durability of reinforced concrete structures.

In connection with rapid urbanization and earthquakes, a huge number of structures have been demolished and generated lots of waste concrete for the last 40 years. Studies on the reclamation of the waste concrete is a pioneer subject for construction sectors in the world. Since the recycling of the waste concrete and reusing of recycled concrete aggregate in the production of new concrete is an important issue for saving of natural resources, economic, sustainable development, significant number of studies have been carried out on this subject. In the scope of this study, a literature review is conducted on the effect of recycled concrete aggregate on mechanical and durability characteristics of small-scale members. Furthermore, structural and seismic performances of full-scale reinforced concrete structural members produced with recycled concrete aggregate are discussed. The test results indicated that the structural members containing recycled aggregate exhibited similar structural performance with their counterparts containing natural aggregates. It was also observed that recycled concrete aggregate did not seem to have an adverse effect on seismic characteristics of the structural members such as ductility.

This research aimed to use of bagasse ash as a cement replacement in high-strength recycled aggregate concrete (HS-RAC). Crushed limestone was replaced with 100% recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and the ground bagasse ash (GBA) was used to partially replace ordinary Portland cement (OPC) at 20, 35 and 50%wt of binder to cast HS-RAC. The results indicated that the replacing of crushed limestone with RCA had a negative impact on the properties of the concrete. Increasing the amount of GBA in HS-RAC resulted in a decrease in density and an increase in the volume of permeable pore space. The concrete mixtures prepared with 20%wt GBA replacement of OPC promoted greater the compressive strength than the conventional concrete (CT concrete) at 90 days or more. HS-RAC with GBA (up to 50%) was more durable in terms of chloride ion penetration resistance, although it had lower compressive strength than the CT concrete.
