The paper primarily focuses on the possibility of using RA in High Performance Concrete (HPC). By analytically reviewing previous work, this study reports the mechanical and physical properties of …

Recycled aggregate concrete from large-scale production to sustainable

Concrete waste is the most prominent construction and demolition waste generated by the construction industry, which is mainly disposed to landfills. Recycling this waste in the form of recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) and substituting it for natural aggregates in the production of concrete could lead to environmental conservation.

Use of recycled concrete aggregates from precast block …

Recently the use of recycled aggregates in structural concrete has been included in the European standard. EN 206:2013+A1. "Concrete – Specification, performance, production and conformity" (CEN, 2016) only concerns the use of coarse recycled aggregates; their use is restricted to less severe environments.Table 1 shows …
