Multi-criteria study for recycled concrete aggregate separation process

Construction and demolition waste stream has generated news materials that may be reintroduced into new concrete, e.g. as recycled aggregates. The specific feature of recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) is the presence of hardened mortars influencing their behaviour. This study aims to distinguish processes that allow the complete separation and...

Use of recycled aggregates of concrete in total replacement of natural materials: Influence on the determination of concrete formulation parameters

The study presented here aims to develop the use of recycled aggregate issued of concrete in total replacement of natural materials (sand and gravel). In regard to natural aggregates, recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) contain mortar that influences theirs properties and those of concrete in which they are used (RCA). The objective of this work...
