Similarly, coarse recycling aggregate will help save the natural reserves of limestone and other mineral resources used as aggregates and help preserve the environment. 5.
Important Characteristics of Aggregate in Concrete . A well-graded aggregate should typically be within the size range of 1/8 to 2 inches; however, most guidelines suggest sizing coarse aggregates between 3/8 inch and 1.5 inches (9.5 mm to 37.5 mm) based on project requirements. ... Recycling aggregates used in concrete can improve ...
To boost the recycling rate of demolished clay bricks, recycled fine aggregates from clay bricks (RFCBs) can be feasibly used as sand substitute for preparing green concrete. In this study, the influence of pore structure and morphology characteristics of RFCBs on the mechanical and microstructural properties of concrete was explored.
In this study, the characteristics of recycled aggregate concrete according to the mixing ratio of recycled coarse aggregate(RCA) were analyzed for different design strengths to explore the use of recycled materials in the production of ready-mixed concrete. The results show that, depending on the ratio of recycled aggregate, the compressive strength is similar to that …
The research results are helpful to further clarify the basic characteristics and performance of recycling of each component of waste concrete, aiming to promote the application of the whole component of waste concrete in practical projects, and thus play an effective role in waste consumption and environmental protection.

In this paper, the stress–strain behaviour, mechanical properties, characteristic stress, and damage evolution of multi-recycled aggregate concrete (Multi-RAC up to 3 recycling cycles) under triaxial compression were investigated, considering the effects of confining pressure and number of recycling cycles.
Recycled aggregate (RA) is a product of construction and demolition wastes, and RA particle presents low strength and adhesion with asphalt mortar compared with natural aggregate. With the aim of studying fracture characteristics of recycled aggregate asphalt concrete (RAAC), the influence of RA on interfacial zone failure should be evaluated.
The surface texture of an aggregate is a measure of degree up to which the surface of the particle of aggregate is polished or dull, smooth or rough. The surface texture of a crushed aggregate depends on the grain size, hardness, pore characteristics of the parent source rock. This can be determined through visual inspection.
In road engineering, road construction requires a large amount of natural aggregate; its substitution with recycled construction-solid-waste aggregate not only saves resources but also reduces the burden on the environment. The main components of construction solid waste are concrete blocks and brick slag; the breakability of the latter can affect the …
