202511· This chapter aims to scrutinize the viability and implementation of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) as a sustainable approach to concrete production. It delves into the methodologies of RAC production, with a focus on the process of converting waste concrete into recycled aggregates for new concrete mixes.
200751· In this study recycled coarse aggregates obtained by crushed concrete were used for concrete production. Four different recycled aggregate concretes were produced; made with 0%, 25%, 50% and 100% of recycled coarse aggregates, respectively. The mix proportions of the four concretes were designed in order to achieve the same compressive strengths.
2016102· Technology for separating and recovering C&DWs is well established, readily accessible and in general inexpensive. During the process of recycled aggregate production, the undesirable fractions are eliminated, and through grading and …
