In this scenario, replacing NA with recycled aggregate (RA) from C&DW and other wastes can mitigate environmental problems. We review the use of RA for concrete production and draw the main challenges and outlook.

By collecting the used concrete and breaking it up, recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) is created (Fig. 1). This paper focuses on coarse RCA which is the coarse aggregate from the original concrete that is created after the mortar is separated from the rock which is reused.

Recycled concrete aggregates ( RCA ) are aggregates produced by clean concrete waste that must contain very low amounts of other building waste – less than a few percent. Crushed gravel, recesses, retention walls, landscape gravel, or staple for the branding of new concrete is frequently used.

The construction industry increasingly relies on concrete to meet growing urban population demands. However, concrete has a high carbon footprint, which contradicts the Sustainable Development Goals and the Circular Economy policies promoted by the European Commission. The use of Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC) is a cost-effective circularity …

For around 70 years, research has showed that using recycled aggregates (RAs) from CDW to replace natural aggregates (NAs) in new concrete application as recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) can provide benefits for the environment and economy.

Figure 8 illustrates that recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) is more susceptible to acid degradation than natural concrete aggregate (NCA), due to the higher permeability of RCA and the enhanced ...

Recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) is concrete made with recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) instead of natural aggregate (NA). RCA are aggregates obtained by recycling of clean concrete waste where content of other building waste must be very low – less than a few percent.

From experiments it has found that the compressive, tensile and flexural strengths of recycled aggregate concrete is nearly of 85% to 95% of natural aggregate concretes. It has adequate durability and can be used versatile.

These crushed concrete are cleaned from dirt and broken to smaller pieces to manufacture aggregate which is termed as recycled aggregate. Crushed concrete aggregate eliminates the need for disposal by using the readily available concrete as an aggregate source for new concrete or other applications.
