This study evaluated the use of recycled concrete as coarse aggregate in new concrete pavements. Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) produced from demolished pavements in three geographically-dispersed locations in Washington state were used to perform testson aggregate characte ristics, fresh concrete propertiesand hardened concrete properties.
replacing coarse natural aggregates for recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) on the bond strength between deformed mild reinforcing steel and surrounding concrete. Two
To begin to analyze Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC) behavior using coarse aggregate consisting of Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA), a baseline concrete had to be selected and, for this study, a MoDOT Class B concrete was chosen. The baseline mix was then classified based on fresh and hardened concrete properties including slump, air
A series of concretes were produced in which natural aggregates, recycled aggregates, and original aggregates in recycled aggregates were matched for a single particle size distribution curve. The replacement levels of recycled aggregate were 25% and 50%, and equivalent mortar volume mix design was applied for recycled aggregate concrete.
Often recycled aggregate is combined with virgin aggregate when used in new concrete. An example of a mix design using recycled aggregates in a pavement application is shown following table. Click here for table

The compressive strength of pervious concrete increased with a reduction in the maximum aggregate size from 20 to 13 mm. The relationship between 28-day compressive strength and porosity for pervious concrete was adversely affected by the use of recycled concrete aggregate instead of natural aggregate.
The undesirable properties of conventional recycled fine aggregate (RFA) often limit its application in the construction industry. To overcome this challenge, a method for preparing completely recycled fine aggregate (CRFA), which crushes all concrete waste only into fine aggregate, was proposed. The obtained CRFA had high apparent density, and its water absorption was lower than that of the
A mix proportion was made to produce normal concrete (NC), while the DMDA was adopted for recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) mix with the ternary binding system. FA was used as filler for natural sand at optimum loose packing density followed by a mixture of (Sand + FA) with RA to obtain optimum packing density ( Fig. 2 a and b ).
Aggregate shape’s effect on concrete quality. By Frank Bowen. Editor’s Note: This is the second article in a year-long series that explores the science of concrete to provide a better understanding of mix design. The series will be collaboratively written by Paul Ramsburg, technical sales specialist at Sika Corp., and Frank Bowen, quality control manager at Piedmont Precast.
Design of Concrete Mixtures with Recycled Concrete Aggregates. This paper investigates the workability, compressive strength, and elastic modulus of normal-strength concrete with recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) as replacement for coarse natural aggregate (for example, crushed stone, gravel).
In the process of mix design of pervious concrete with either natural aggregate or recycled concrete aggregate, Fig. 11 could be used to obtain the void content needed for trial mixes to satisfy the specification requirement for water permeability and compressive strength of concrete. Once the void content is known, simple mathematical approach
In this project, the mix design of M30 grade of cement concrete is developed at water cement ratio 0.45 using virgin coarse aggregate (CA). In order to study the potential of RAP in the mix design of M30 grade cement concrete, different percentage of RAP aggregate are used in mix with coarse

Mix Proportion Design. Concrete mix proportions were calculated according to above listed conditions and are shown in Table 3. Dried recycled aggregate, basic water content and additional water quantity were used to achieve the required workability of RAC. Table 3. Design quantities of component materials.
Crushed vs Round aggregate in concrete. ACI 318-05 and -08 does not appear to reward the designer for specifying crushed aggregate over rounded (usually "river rock") in structural concrete. Chapter 4 refers to ASTM C33, and leaves it at that. Certainly crushed rock has better interlock, and must have better shear friction for roughened surfaces.
Crushed old concrete is recycled as aggregates in highway pavements but it is not used in buildings and bridges because of uncertainties of performance of new concrete. If crushed old concrete can be recycled in new building construction it would help in getting rid of waste and preserve natural riverbed rocks.
This paper considers mix of two different aggregate sizes of 10 and 20mm, 0, 30, 50, 70 and 100% recycled aggregate replacement ratios, and water-cement ratio of 0.35, 0.45 and 0.55. In total of fifteen concrete mix designs are considered. The paper presents the material properties of aggregates which were obtained from the material testing.
The effects of the UFS and NS mineral admixtures produced greater performance improvements in the concrete than the recycled coarse aggregate. Finally, the optimal mix proportion was determined. For this mix, the thermal conductivity coefficient and compressive strength of the concrete were 0·305 W/(m.K) and 46·7 MPa respectively.

This article is on the development of a mix design method for self-compacting recycled aggregate concrete (SCRAC) by considering the adhered mortar content (AMC) on the surface of the aggregate. In this method of mix design, the acceptable percentage of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) depends on the AMC value.
mix design procedure for recycled aggregate concrete. Use ofrecycledaggregateconcrete(RAC) is one such attempt and is an answer to some of the problems in constructional engineering. The concept of using RAC is now gaining popularity and research in this direction has gained momentum.
The Concrete mix ratio for M20 grade of concrete is 1:1.5:3 that mean 1 part of cement, 1.5 part of sand (fine aggregate) and 3 parts of aggregate (crushed stone) in volume and then batched for mixing. To know the Concrete Mix Design follow below:-. Mix Design (M) = Cement: Sand :Aggregate.
The RCA-concrete mixes were proportioned using a new concrete mix design method, termed the equivalent mortar volume (EMV) method. The EMV method is based on the hypothesis that RCA is a composite material comprising mortar and natural aggregate; therefore, when proportioning a concrete mixture containing RCA, one must account for the relative
