Properties of concrete blocks made with recycled concrete aggregates: From block wastes to new blocks

Large amounts of construction and demolition wastes (C&DW) especially concrete wastes are generated annually and will increase in the future. Until now, only a small fraction of concrete wastes is re-used as recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) in the manufacture of concrete.

After the first damages on pitchings and the...
