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 ).
Optimizing mix proportion of recycled aggregate concrete by readjusting the aggregate gradation. It is necessary to ensure the properties of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) can meet the requirements of those for the corresponding natural aggregate concrete (NAC), since only in such cases recycled aggregates (RA) may be accepted for
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
Mukai et al. (36) found that recycled concretes produced with coarse recycled aggregate and natural sand required approximately 101/m3 or 5% more free water than control concretes produced with corresponding natural aggregate, in order to achieve the same slump.
prepared using a two-stage mixing approach in the concrete mix design. M30 concrete mix of four RCAC samples was tested at 28 days of curing and in comparison with parent concrete, it is found that on an average compressive strength is decreased by 12.89% at 28 days curing. Adhered mortar increases the porosity of the recycled aggregate and
mix design procedure for recycled aggregate concrete Conservation of natural resources and preservation of environment is the essence of any development. Use of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) is one such attempt and is an answer to some of the problems in constructional engineering.
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.
Concrete Mix Design for Completely Recycled Fine Aggregate by Modified Packing Density Method. Materials (Basel). 2020 Aug 11;13 (16):3535. doi: 10.3390/ma13163535.
Recycled concrete will have a higher absorption and lower specific gravity than conventional aggregates. To produce good quality, durable concrete containing a portion of recycled concrete aggregate often requires trial concrete mixes and close monitoring of the properties of the old recycled concrete, with mix adjustments made, as needed.
2. MIX DESIGN: Concrete mix designs using recycled coarse aggregates shall comply with the provisions of DSA IR 19-3, Section 2.
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.
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 ).
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

Ajdukiewicz AB, Kliszczewicz AT (2007) Comparative tests of beams and columns made of recycled aggregate concrete and natural aggregate concrete.
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.
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
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.

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).

There is an increasing trend towards using recycled aggregate (RA) in concrete due to the shortage of high quality natural aggregates. The use of RA in concrete results in the conservation of natural resources, protects the environment and encourages sustainable construction. Though some studies have been conducted on the use of recycled
Recycled concrete, or crushed waste concrete, is a feasible source of aggregates and an economic reality, especially where good aggregates are scarce. Conven-tional stone crushing equipment can be used, and new equipment has been developed to reduce noise and dust. Aggregates must conform to certain standards for
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 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.
What Is Recycle aggregate concrete. 6. Characteristics of recycle aggregate concrete Recycle aggregate concrete has a Crushed sound and clean waste concrete of at least 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. 7.
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
The resulting plastic aggregate, called Polyrok, is made from soft plastics and was used in the concreting of a Coles car park in Horsham and a footpath in Frankston. This was accomplished after identifying the best strategy to design the concrete mix, optimizing the strength and acoustic energy absorption of the material.
The results showed that the use of 100% recycled concrete aggregates increased the optimum moisture content and decreased the maximum dry density of base course materials compared to those of natural base materials. The effect of recycled aggregate replacement on un-confined compressive strength was discussed at 7, 28 and 90 days.
