Abstract

The use of recycled aggregate (RA) in concrete opens possibilities in the ways in which recycled materials can be used for structural applications; indeed, it may be an important breakthrough towards sustainable development. The utilisation of RA is an effective solution to the problem of possessing excess waste materials while simultaneously maintaining satisfactory concrete quality. The utilisation of waste construction materials should be related to the application of quality guarantee systems to achieve suitable product properties. A complete understanding of the characteristics of new materials is, therefore, extremely important so that it is potential in applications can be thoroughly studied. This paper investigates the physical and mechanical properties of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC). The experimental works on RAC from different mix proportions, including replacement ratios of RA from 0%, 30%, 50%, 70% and 100%, are investigated on compressive strength. Further research on steel fibres addition, structural reliability evaluation, and cost-benefit analysis are also explored.
