    Abstract

    ![CDATA[Based on the experimental work on recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) from different mix proportions, including recycled aggregate (RA) replacement ratios, water-to-cement ratios and aggregate-to-cement ratios, this project develops optimal design criteria for RAC. The optimal design criteria for RAC with five accurate prediction equations among compressive strength, tensile strength and flexural strength of the RAC was developed in this project by using linear regression analysis. The developed equations can be used to predict characteristic compressive, tensile and flexural strength by providing parameters of the mix proportions or from one of the characteristic strength or from the properties of the RA collected from the centralised recycling plants or construction and demolition sites with their designed mix proportions.]]
