 Introduction.
• To achieve sustainable issue in construction
area, researchers and companies focus on
using waste concrete as a new construction
material. It’s called recycle aggregate which
can be produced by concrete crusher.
• The aggregate are characterised by size as
course and fine aggregate.
• The characteristic of recycle aggregate could
be different by its Parent concrete because
the parent concrete was designed for its
purposes such as permeable durable and
high strength concrete.
What is recycle aggregate concrete.
• It’s a lower density, elastic modules strength and a higher
water absorption capacity.
• Recycled aggregate has a proportional mortar which attached
to aggregate, it gives a higher porosity and a lower strength to
RAC then the normal concrete.
• In additional,since recycled aggregate require a more amount
of water then natural aggregate, shrinkage issue could be
problematic to use RAC in practically.
Characteristics of recycle
aggregate concrete.
• recycle aggregate as a crushed
sound on and clean waste
concrete of list 95% by weight of
concrete with typical total
contamination lower than 1% of
the bulk mass .
• Class 1A RCA is a well graded
RCA With no more than 0.5%
brick content.
Process of recycle aggregate
concrete.
• Crushing.
• Pre-sizing.
• Sorting .
• Screening.
• Contaminant elimination.
Benefits of recycle aggregate concrete.
There are a variety of benefits in recycling concrete rather than dumping
it or burying it in a landfill.
• Keeping concrete debris out of landfills saves landfills space.
• Using recycled material as gravel reduces the need for gravel mining .
• Using recycled concrete as the base material for road ways reduces the
pollution involved in trucking material.
Uses of recycle aggregate concrete.
 Conclusion.
• Initial moisture states of RCA is one of the most important variable
than impact strength and shrinkage.
• when oven-dried RCA is used , strength is used to be greatly reduced
but free shrinkage as measured in this study was low.
• The creep to free shrinkage ratio of RAC was similar to that of normal
concrete at seven days under restrained conditions.
• When greater volume of recycle fine aggregate and fly ash was used,
free shrinkage of the specimens was reduced.
