Jan 25, 2021· Apart from aiding the environment, exploitation of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) as a potential substitute for natural aggregates (NA) contributes to a framework of sustainable development as well as helps in maintaining an ecological balance by avoiding fast depletion of natural resources of aggregates.
The necessity to produce recycled aggregate concrete with low–medium compressive strength was verified due to the requirement of the volume of cement. The influence of the order of materials used in concrete production (made with recycled aggregates) with respect to improving its splitting tensile strength was analysed. The lower modulus of
Annex 2 details the main standards and specifications relating to aggregates. The majority of recycled aggregate in Scotland is either capping material (e.g. 6F4 and 6F5) or subbase (e.g. Type 1). Some production sites can produce aggregates for concrete, such as washed sand, but this is …
Sep 15, 2020· Utilising high-quality recycled aggregates and its on-site concrete batching plant, Velde Pukk AS supplies the construction industry with a CE-certified concrete from 100% recycled sand and aggregates. Likewise, AF Gruppen, also based in Norway, produces high-quality washed sands and aggregates which have also Norwegian standard certification.
Currently, a number of disadvantages hampers the use of recycled concrete aggregates (RCA). The current review proves that concretes made with complete replacement of natural aggregate with RCA allow the production of high-quality concrete. One of the possibilities for improving concrete properties with RCA is the use of extended curing and pozzolanic materials with varying cement ratios.

In evaluation of the recycled aggregate characteristics, it should be kept in mind that each recycled concrete aggregate particle is still a piece of concrete composed of the original coarse aggregate (OCA) and the adhered mortar (AM). The recombined form of these concrete particles with a new matrix is called recycled aggregate concrete.
