Recycling concrete construction waste is a promising way towards sustainable construction.

Abstract

Recycling concrete construction waste is a promising way towards sustainable construction. Coarse recycled concrete aggregates have been widely studied in recent years, however only few data have been reported on the use of fine recycled aggregates. Moreover, a lack of reliable data on long-term properties of recycled aggregate concrete has to be pointed out. In this paper the effects of both fine and coarse recycled concrete aggregates on short- and long-term mechanical and physical properties of new structural concrete are investigated. The studied concrete mixes have been designed by adjusting and selecting the content and grain size distribution of concrete waste with the goal to obtain medium-high compressive strength with high content of recycled aggregates (ranging from 27 to 63.5 % of total amount of aggregates). Time-dependent properties, such as shrinkage and creep, combined with porosity measurements and mechanical investigations are reported as fundamental features to assess structural concrete behavior.
