The coarse aggregate produced from the construction and demolished waste of masonry structure is called mixed recycled coarse aggregate (MRA), which is mainly composed of concrete recycled coarse aggregate (CRA) and brick recycled coarse aggregate (BRA). The paper presents the results of an experimental and …
It has been observed that recycled concrete coarse aggregate with water absorption values under 7 % provides saturated surface dry density values over 2300 kg/m 3. 3. As the replacement percentage of recycled coarse aggregate increases in concrete, the compressive strength decreases. However, when the w/c ratio is over 0.6, the …
Freeze–thaw cycles and steel reinforcement corrosion can damage the properties of concrete structures in a frigid marine environment. In this paper, experimental and analytical research on the freeze–thaw resistance of recycled coarse aggregate concrete (RAC) and the bond performance of corroded steel reinforcement and RAC …
To effectively recycle waste petroleum products and construction waste, recycling polypropylene fiber (RPF) and recycled aggregate can be mixed into concrete to make RPF recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) concrete. In this study, the RPF recycled from a polypropylene (PP) packaging belt was used as the test material and manually …
Du et al. [6] reported that the micro-hardness of recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) was much higher than that of the interfacial transition zones (ITZs) in the RAC, and the micro-hardness of the interface between the RCA and the new mortar matrix was the lowest. Poon et al. [7] investigated the effect of microstructure of ITZ on the compressive …
A total of 600 testing results for coarse recycled concrete aggregate specimens were summarized. With a 95% probability of all the carbonation depths, the …
Recycled Coarse Aggregate Concrete (RAC) is a type of concrete that uses recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) instead of natural coarse aggregate (NCA), which helps to reduce the negative environmental impact of construction waste. In order to improve the low compressive strength of RAC and solve the problem of shortage of …
Among them, four monolithic specimens were cast with conventional natural aggregate concrete (NAC), seawater sea-sand concrete with natural coarse aggregate concrete (SSNAC), RAC and SSRAC. All the replacement ratios of seawater, sea-sand, and recycled coarse aggregates were .
Exploitation of recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) aimed to produce fully recycled coarse aggregate concrete (FRCAC) has attracted more attention due to the growing requirements for sustainable development and carbon neutralization. In this paper, a novel computational model is developed to study the chloride migration behavior in …
High-strength recycled aggregate concrete (HSRAC) has been extensively studied in terms of mix design, properties, models, and structural behaviour. ... found that the replacement ratio of coarse recycled concrete aggregates (CRCA) had a minor impact on the axial and eccentric load-bearing capacity of HSRACFST columns, but a more …
Addressing the increasing demand for concrete due to advancements in the construction sector and population growth, this research explores the critical intersection …
In Japan, recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and recycled-aggregate concrete (RAC) are standardized in the Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) A 5021–5023. The differences between the specifications in JIS and those in foreign countries are explained. In Japan, the durability of RAC under severe conditions, particularly freezing …
19.2.1 Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA). Coarse RCA complies to the requirements of maximum 5% masonry content, 5% fine materials, 0.5% lightweight material, 5% …
After demolition of old roads and buildings, the removed concrete is often considered worthless and disposed of as demolition waste. By collecting the used concrete and breaking it up, recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) is created (Fig. 1).This paper focuses on coarse RCA which is the …
In the Arabian Gulf region, waste concrete from demolished sites constitute the larger resource for recycled coarse aggregates and hence need to be studied. Studies on the properties of recycled aggregate concrete in the Arabian Gulf Region are limited [5], [9], [18], [19].
Recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) is the most common idea, but it does not gain wide acceptance among practitioners due the adhered mortar poses which deleterious effects on the concrete. However, a suitable concrete mix design enables the recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) to the achieve target strength and suitable for wide range of …
Notable examples include studies on: recycled concrete aggregate properties with amounts of old adhered mortars (Duan and Poon Citation 2014), the …
Recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) is made by mixing construction solid waste into recycled aggregate according to a certain proportion and gradation after …
introduction of recycled concrete aggregate with its uses and properties. Various test results on Recycled concrete aggregate also described. It also consist the difference between RCA and natural aggregate. The future recommendations are also discussed in addition. Keywords—Recycled Coarse Aggregate (RCA), Concrete Mix
Different recycled coarse aggregate substitution ratio on the strength of concrete. ... Extensive research has been conducted on the utilization of RCAs in the production of high-performance recycled aggregate concrete (RAC), which can effectively reduce CO 2 emissions by up to 48.7% [3].
Decreasing natural resources of coarse & fine aggregates and growing issues with trash management assistance the beneficiation of trash materials. The quality and uniformity of the recycled aggregate and the concrete generated from it are clearly influenced by the degree of processing and the original concrete's quality, according to …
This paper presents a review of the research on seawater sea-sand recycled coarse aggregate concrete (SSRAC), which offers a solution to the scarcity of river sand and freshwater while also promoting the reuse of waste concrete. The study reveals that the conventional mix proportion design method underestimates the …

Modulus of elasticity of concrete made with recycled coarse and fine aggregate is lower than that of concrete made with recycled coarse aggregate only. 5. Creep Creep of concrete produced from recycled concrete aggregate is higher than concrete made using natural aggregate by 30 to 60%. 6. Drying Shrinkage
The main parameters considered in this study were; i) the type of coarse aggregate (i.e., natural aggregate or recycled aggregate) with varying proportions, ii) the type of cementitious material (i.e., GP, MP or RHA) to substitute 20% of OPC in concrete mixture containing recycled coarse aggregates and iii) the amount of waste steel …
Although the use of RCA has an adverse effect on the performance of concrete, recycled coarse aggregate concrete could replace conventional concrete by controlling the quality of recycled aggregates and using a low replacement rate of RCA [18].
