In the case of recycled concrete aggregates, this phenomenon is more evident. In fact, the comparison between the results reported in Fig. 4.10 (i.e., natural aggregates) and Fig. 4.11 (i.e., recycled concrete aggregate) highlights that the influence of the aggregates size is more relevant in the case of RCAs. The higher gap between …

A literature review comprising 163 publications published over a period of 26 years from 1992 to 2018 is presented in this paper. This review discusses the generation and recycling of construction and demolition waste (CDW) as well as its main uses as raw materials for the construction engineering sector. This review pays attention to the use of …

Recycled concrete aggregates or Crushed concrete aggregates has been in use since the ancient times, only to be integrated with gravel, sand, and cement to ensure durability. The practice was first recorded in the 1860s. US construction companies were reluctant to use the technique at first since crushing cured concrete proved to be …

Great Britain In Great Britain the normative distinguishes two types of recycled aggregates, RCA and RA, the former coming just from concrete-based material, characterized by a limitation of about 5 % in masonry content (in weight), and the second from a mixed waste. The complementary UK Standard to EN 206-1, BS 8500-2 2015 [], …

However, using a recycled aggregate of more than 65% can impact the mix's durability significantly, reducing its physical properties tenfold. The optimum amount blended in with the concrete should be 35%. Some experiments have shown that the recycled aggregate is durable, no doubt, but not as sturdy as natural coarse aggregate.

This is known as recycled concrete aggregate (RCA). The property and use of RCA for structural or non-structural concrete have been extensively studied and numerous findings have been adopted in engineering practice to produce sustainable concrete. Concrete rubble, however, is inevitably mixed with other wastes such as …

Recycled concrete aggregate products are 15% to 17% lighter in weight than natural stone aggregates giving you more product for a lower price than natural stone. Your crushing process affects material quality. Another influencing factor is your crushing process. Recycled concrete aggregate can be produced with a jaw crusher or an impact crusher.

The recycled aggregate is used as soon as it is processed. Recycled concrete currently supplies about 5% of aggregate use. The bulk of recycled aggregates – about 68 % – is used as road base. The remainder is used for new concrete mixes (6%), asphalt (9 %) and fill. Recycling concrete features both cost savings and environmental benefits:
