Experimental Study of Recycled Aggregate Concrete
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
In this paper work we are discussing about the use of recycled concrete aggregate in the concrete and the effects on its compressive strength by progressively replacing the natural concrete aggregate (NCA) with recycled aggregate. It is the experimental study of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) when it is compared with the natural concrete aggregate on account of its properties. Cubes having dimension 150 X 150 X 150 mm3 were casted using recycled aggregate by replacing the natural aggregate by 0%, 25%, 50% and 75% and corresponding results of compressive strengths were noted. The compressive strengths were noted by crushing the cube at 7, 14 and 28 days and it was found that performance of concretes with 0% and 25% replacement of natural aggregate by recycled aggregate were quite similar to concrete without replacement but with 50% and 75% replacement, the strength of concrete was decreased.
