Recycled Concrete aggregates (RCA) are comprised of crushed, graded inorganic particles processed from the materials are used in the constructions industry. The aim of this project is to determine the strength characteristics of recycled aggregates for application of structural concrete in high strength, which will give a better understanding on the properties of concrete with RAC, as an alternative material to coarse aggregate (NA) in structural concrete. The scope is this project is to determine and compare the strength of concrete by using different percentage of recycled concrete aggregates. Recycled aggregate is also the type of artificial aggregate which is obtained from (C&D) wastes i.e. Construction and demolition. Constructions and demolitions are processes that go hand in hand. In India the demolished building rubble generally goes to waste materials in landfills. Recycling of these concrete waste materials from demolition building can provide a solution to this problem. The investigation was carried out using Specific gravity test, sieve analysis test, Impact test, Water absorption test, Crushing value test, Workability test and compressive strength test. There are total six batches of concrete mixes, consisting of every 20% increment of recycled aggregate replacement, from 0% to 100%. |
