Abstract

Reducing the environmental impact and enhancing the properties of concrete is of great significance environmentally and economically. Using sustainable construction materials coming from construction wastes like recycled concrete that comes out from demolishing or renovating of existing structures could help in producing sustainable materials of good quality and low cost. The use of recycled concrete improved the concrete quality and enhanced the mechanical and microstructural properties of concrete. Tests and research done on this type of sustainable concrete proved the applicability of usage of recycled concrete aggregates as a full replacement of coarse aggregate by using different grain sizes of natural and recycled coarse aggregates. The desired concrete strength as per the concrete mix design is 35 MPa with fixed water to cement ratio of 0.48. The concrete mechanical properties increased clearly after replacing the natural coarse aggregates by recycled concrete aggregates. This research studied the concrete density, workability, temperature, compressive strength, split tensile strength, flexural strength, and microstructural analysis; which is the main focus of this paper.
