Paper Title
Analytical Study of Cement Concrete with Partial Replacement of Recycled Aggregate
Abstract
Use of recycled aggregate in concrete can be useful for environmental protection. Recycled aggregates are the
materials for the future. The application of recycled aggregate has been started in a large number of construction projects of
many European, American, Russian and Asian countries. Many countries are giving infrastructural laws relaxation for
increasing the use of recycled aggregate. This paper reports the basic properties of recycled fine aggregate and recycled
coarse aggregate & also compares these properties with natural aggregates. Basic changes in all aggregate properties are
determined and their effects on concreting work are discussed at length. Similarly the properties of recycled aggregate
concrete are also determined. Basic concrete properties like compressive strength, flexural strength, workability etc. are
explained here for different combinations of recycled aggregate with natural aggregate. Codal guidelines of recycled
aggregates concrete in various countries are stated here with their effects, on concreting work. In general, present status of
recycled aggregate in India along with its future need and its successful utilization are discussed here.
