This work investigates the state of the art on innovative and sustainable self-compacting concrete prepared with coarse and fine recycled concrete aggregates (up to 100% of total amount of aggregates). Fresh state behavior is presented and related to the hardened state and durability characteristics of the conglomerate. Studies on this new research topic in the field of construction industry highlight that self-compacting properties can be maintained when recycled concrete aggregates are used and their good qualities enhance effective mechanical properties thus promoting its successfully use not only for non-structural elements, but also structural and highly reinforced structures which hinder the vibration procedures.

Abstract
This work investigates the state of the art on innovative and sustainable self-compacting concrete prepared with coarse and fine recycled concrete aggregates (up to 100% of total amount of aggregates). Fresh state behavior is presented and related to the hardened state and durability characteristics of the conglomerate. Studies on this new research topic in the field of construction industry highlight that self-compacting properties can be maintained when recycled concrete aggregates are used and their good qualities enhance effective mechanical properties thus promoting its successfully use not only for non-structural elements, but also structural and highly reinforced structures which hinder the vibration procedures.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
