The document provides an overview of a comparative study on concrete using recycled coarse aggregates. It discusses the need for recycled aggregates due to shortage of natural aggregates and increasing construction waste. It also explains the process of recycling concrete. The document then reviews several literature studies on properties of concrete with recycled aggregates. It further lists the various experiments conducted as part of the study, including tests on fine and coarse aggregates, cement, and recycled coarse aggregates. The results of sieve analysis, water absorption, crushing value, impact value, specific gravity tests are presented.
2. Introduction and overviewWhat we have done so far..............................an overview
•Necessity of Recycled Coarse Aggregate
•Eighth - five year plan in India investigated that there is a shortage of coarse aggregates in
housing & road sectors.
•In large developing countries like India, China & Japan there is a large amount of concrete &
demolition waste generation due to new zoning bye laws, modified settlement patterns ,
increased population, in urban areas due to industrial development, modernization of old
road bridges for present and future growing traffic etc.
•To achieve sustainable development.
•Central Pollution Control Board has estimated that the solid waste generation in India is
about 48 million tonnes per annum of which 25% is from the construction industry.
•Recycling of concrete is a relatively simple process. It involves breaking,
removing, and crushing existing concrete into a material with a specified size
and quality.
•Recycled concrete aggregates contain not only the original aggregates, but also
hydrated cement paste.This paste reduces the specific gravity and increases the
porosity compared to similar virgin aggregates. Higher porosity of RCA leads to a
higher absorption.
3. LITERATURE REVIEW
Case studies carried out by : Remarks
K K Sagoe-Crentsil, T Brown, A H
Taylor (2001)
Water absorption rates and carbonation of recycled concrete and
reference concrete were almost comparable for most applications
C S Poon, Z H Shui, L Lam, H
Fok, S C Kou (2004
The result suggested that an AD aggregate that contains not more
than 50% recycled aggregate is optimum for producing the normal
strength recycled aggregate concrete.
Valeria Corinaldesi (2010) Results obtained showed that structural concrete can be
manufactured by replacing 30% virgin aggregates with recycled
concrete aggregate
Tsung – Yueh Tu, Yuen – Yuen
Chen & Chao-Lung Hwang (2006)
It was found that specific gravity, water absorption capacity,
gradation, soundness and wear resistance of recycled aggregate
were worse than natural aggregate due to presence of residual
mortar and impurities and a reduction of 20%-30% in
compressive strength was noticed due to addition of recycled
aggregate.
Khaldoun Rahal(2007) The trends in the development of compressive and shear
strength and the strain at peak stress in recycled
aggregate concrete were similar to those in natural
aggregate concrete
arid Debieb, Luc Courard,
Said Kenai & Robert
Degeimbre (2010)
It was found that contamination of recycled aggregate
does not seem to have significant effect on mechanical
properties upto 28 days of age
