Introduction
Recycled aggregate are comprised of crushed, graded inorganic particles processed
from the materials that have been used in the construction and demolition debris.
These materials are generally from buildings, roads, bridges, and sometimes even from
catastrophes, such as wars and earthquakes.
Recycled aggregate is generally produced by two stages crushing of demolished
concrete, screening and removal of contaminants such as reinforcement, plastic etc.
Concrete made with such aggregates is called as Recycled aggregate Concrete (RAC).
Demolition of old and deteriorated buildings and traffic infrastructure, and their
substitution with new ones, is a frequent phenomenon today in a large part of the
world.
Introduction
Limbachiya and Leelawat (2000) found that recycled aggregate concrete had 7 to 9%
lower relative density and 2 times higher water absorption than natural aggregate.
Moulded test specimens (cylinders) are of the size 150x300mm. 3 such specimens were prepared
using same concrete mix design and tested after 21days of curing. The results are tabulated under
Table 6.
