Building Future with Recycled Aggregate
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 10
Abstract
India is presently generating construction and demolition (C & D) waste around 23.75 million tons annually and these figures are likely to double fold in the next 7 years. C & D waste and specifically concrete has been seen as a resource in developed countries. Works on recycling have emphasized that if old concrete has to be used in second generation concrete, the product should adhere to the required compressive strength. The project done on recycled aggregate from demolished concrete. Our aim is to investigate the characteristics of recycled aggregate concrete, with respect to various parameters. After analysis of results of various tests done on recycled aggregate and natural aggregate it found that the recycled aggregate shows different result values, which implies that RA and NA are very different regarding various properties. But the Control mix showed better results with recycled aggregate. Results shows that compressive strength of recycled aggregate concrete depends upon grade of concrete which demolished to obtain recycled aggregate and the age of demolished concrete.
