Development of M40 Grade Recycled Aggregate Concrete by Replacing 100% Virgin Aggregates With Recycled Aggregates and Partial Replacement of Mineral Admixtures
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
The Increasing Difficulty In Securing Natural Coarse And Fine Aggregates For The Production Of Concrete Coupled With The Environmental Issues And Depletion Of Natural Aggregates Makes The Usage Of Recycled Aggregate. Hence, The Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC) Is Very Much Required To Preserve The Natural Resources For Future Generation. And Also Resolve Global Warming Issues To Some Extent. The Study On Recycled Aggregate Concrete Is Very Important As The Aggregate Content Is 60 To 80% Of The Total Volume Of Concrete. However, The Full Use Of The Material Can Be Justified Only Through Structural Engineering Applications. Engineers Are Reluctant To Use RAC In Structural Elements Due To Lack Of Established Design Guidelines. In This Study, An Attempt Has Been Made To Investigate The Mechanical Properties Of Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC) Using Mineral Admixtures And Superplasticisers. Basic Characteristics Of Recycled Aggregates Were Determined In The Laboratory. Studies On Pertaining To Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC) Of M40 Grade Made Replacing 100 % Virgin Aggregates With Recycled Aggregates Are Presented. The Properties Of Fresh And Hardened Recycled Aggregate Concrete Were Evaluated. The Results Of Compressive Strength Test, Split Tensile Strength, Flexural Strength Tests Are Presented In This Paper.
