Aiming to increase the recycling rate on concrete formulation, the use of high quality recycled aggregates during recycling off-site or on-site is suggested. In this stage of recycling, gravity concentration by jigs and sensor-based sorting are used to separate different particles (2/20 mm) as bricks, tiles, gypsum and glass, previously ...
Crushing demolition waste concrete to produce recycled aggregates for production of new concrete is one common means for achieving a more environmentally friendly concrete. In this paper, durability properties such as drying shrinkage, carbonation and long-term...
Although the recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) is promoted globally, its use in structural applications is restricted because of its inferior durability owing to the porous and weak residual mortar adhered to recycled aggregate particles. The accelerated carbonation treatment has a potential to modify the pore structure of recycled …
In this article we present main aspects that need to be considered while designing elements from the recycled concrete. We summarize changes in properties of this type of concrete and look at the state of art in this area. Numerous studies have been performed to investigate various characteristic of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC).
Therefore, it was necessary to study the dynamic mechanics performance of recycled-aggregate-concrete-filled steel tubes under different conditions. Combined with the experiment and simulation, the mechanical behavior of the recycled-aggregate-concrete-filled steel tube was investigated.
Carbonation resistance is an important factor affecting the durability of concrete, and the carbonation behavior of structural concrete become more complex under loading. In order to investigate the feasibility of utilizing Recycled Fine Aggregate (RFA) in structural concrete under a coupling of bending load and carbonation, two …
In this paper, a novel process for the thermomechanical beneficiation of waste concrete for recycling is proposed through directly heating concrete chunks to …

The studies undertaken at the University of Cape Town (UCT) investigated the physical, chemical, and mineralogical properties of fine recycled concrete aggregate (FRCA), targeting methods of utilising and optimising FRCA properties using minimal beneficiation, and use of supplementary cementitious materials.
recycled coarse aggregate. This study was also intended to enhance the strength and durabilityproperties ofconcrete byusingchemically and mechanically beneficiated recycled aggregate and thus recommend the most appropriate replacement level and the beneficiation method. Keywords Beneficiation ·Recycled concrete aggregate …
Recycled concrete aggregates (RCAs) have low quality when compared with natural or conventional aggregates as the paste adhering to it is the key aspect that affects its functionality. Since the adhering cementitious …
Recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) are often produced by crushing demolished concrete rubble in different steps using jaw and impacts crushers. …
In the present work, the effects of accelerated carbonation on the physical and microstructural properties of recycled concrete fines are systematically studied. The RCF was prepared by crushing a base CEM I concrete mixture made in laboratory with a water-to-cement ratio of 0.54 and seal-cured for 28 days. The effects of CO2 …
The most important parameters associated with recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) production that may affect quality and yield include such properties of the parent concrete as the composition, strength and aggregate grading, type of crushers used, number of crushing stages, the size of the RCA particles, and the size reduction …
Physical characteristics of the coarse recycled aggregates were improved by adopting three different beneficiation techniques i.e. chemical beneficiation, mechanical beneficiation and chemical-mechanical beneficiation.
For new concrete structures requiring standard performance levels, the use of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) ... to the more recent work on improved beneficiation of recycled concrete aggregates using microwaves by Akbarnezhad et al. (2011). It is worth emphasising that microwaves induce stresses from multiple sources …
Incorporating recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) is one way of recycling and using demolished concrete waste. However, it is an established fact that recycled concrete aggregates used without surface treatment/beneficiation exhibit inferior properties in comparison...
The capability of the microwave assisted beneficiation of recycled concrete aggregate is experimentally investigated by Akbarnezhad. Microwave heating leads to significantly improvements in the properties of recycled concrete aggregate compared with other conventional beneficiation methods [33].

The testing on the quality of the recycled aggregates was conducted according to the items listed in the quality standards for recycled aggregates (limited to recycled fine aggregates used in concrete manufacture), and of the physical properties specified in the quality standards, the most important quality characteristics of recycled …
Recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) are produced by reducing the size of concrete debris through multiple crushing stages. Depending on the size, the crushed concrete particle may comprise one or more particles of natural coarse aggregate held together and surrounded fully or partially by a layer of mortar (Fig. 1a and b). In
