 INTRODUCTION
• To achieve sustainable issue in construction area,
researchers and companies focus on using waste
concrete as a new construction material.
• It is called recycled aggregate which can be
produced by concrete crusher.
• The aggregates are categorized by size as coarse
and fine aggregate.
• The characteristic of recycled aggregates could be
different by its parent concrete because the parent
concrete was designed for its purposes such as
permeability, durability and high strength concrete.
 HISTORICAL
BACKGROUND
• The applications of recycled aggregate in the construction
areas are wide and they had been used long time ago.
• Wilmot and Vorobieff (1997) stated that recycled aggregate
have been used in the road industry for the last 100 years in
Australia. They also stated that the use of recycled aggregate
for the construction and rehabilitation of local government
roads has a great improve in the last five years
• C & D Recycling Industry (n.d.), the fact file stated that from
the time of the Romans, the stones from the previous roads
were reused when rebuilding their vaunted set of roads. It also
stated that since the end of World War II, the recycling industry
had been well established in Europe.
• According to Seecharan (2004), the Detroid News stated that
in 1980s, the old concrete crushed into a powder was a
popular road builder at Michigan, USA
 OBJECTIVES
• To find out the % use feasible for construction
• To reduce the impact of waste materials on
environment
• To carry out different tests on recycled
aggregates & natural aggregates and
compare their results
• To find out the ways of cost saving such as
transportation costs, excavation costs, etc.
 ADVANTAGES
• Cost saving
There are no detrimental effects on concrete & it is expected that the
increase in the cost of cement could be offset by the lower cost of Recycled
Concrete Aggregate (RCA).

• Save environment
 There is no excavation of natural resources & less transportation.
 Less land is required.
 Less emission of carbon due to less crushing.

• Save time
There is no waiting for material availability.

• Job opportunity
Creates employment opportunities and economic activities in recycling
industries
 DISADVANTAGES
• Less quality (e.g. compressive strength reduces by
10-30%).
• Duration of procurement of materials may affect life
cycle of project.
• Land, special equipments & machineries are
required (more cost).
• Very high water absorption (up to 6%).
• It has higher drying shrinkage & creep.
 LITERATURE REVIEW
• The applications of recycled aggregate in the
construction area are very wide. There are many
testing based on the recycled aggregate have
been carried out all around the world.
• Hanson and Torben (1986) stated that since 1945,
the research on recycled aggregate had been
carried out in many countries. Some of the literature
reviews on recycled aggregate are shown as
below.

 J-2.Performance of Rigid
Pavements containing RCA
AUTHORS: OBJECTIVE:
GREGORY D. CUTTEL 1. To identify the material and
pavement design factors that
MARK B. SNYDER
have resulted in both Good
JULIE M. VANDENBOSSCHE
and Unacceptable
MONTY J. WADE performance.
2. Field study focused on the
causes of pavement distresses
associated with the use of
RCA in PCC surface layers.
CONCLUSION:
1. Comparable Pavement
performance between recycled
and conventional PCC pavements
was especially common when
there were similar amounts of
natural aggregates in the PCC
mixtures.
2. Recurrent D-cracking was not
observed on any of the surveryed
projects.
3. Recurrent ASR appeared to
present in small localized areas in
one of the project as soon as 9
years after construction.
 J-3. RECYCLED CONCRETE AGGREGATE IN
CONCRETE PAVEMENTS: A FIVE YEAR STUDY
ON ITS EFFECT ON PAVEMENT PERFORMANCE
AUTHORS: OBJECTIVE:
Federico Irali The objective of this research
project was to evaluate the
Aleks Kivi
long-term performance of
James T. Smith
concrete pavements with
Susan L. Tighe different percentages of RCA
through the construction of
Cesare Sangiorgi
full scale test sections that was
(2013) instrumented with various
sensors to analyze and
monitor pavement responses
over time.
CONCLUSION:
1. Four experimental concrete
pavement sections, each
containing a different percentage
of RCA in the concrete mix, were
built at the CPATT test track in
2007 and all remain in very good
condition after being subjected to
traffic loading for more than five
years.
2. It suggest that the increased use
of waste concrete in the form of
RCA is feasible in concrete
pavements, if performance
comparable to virgin materials can
be expected

 METHODOLOGY
COLLECTION
Collection of Plain Cement Concrete (PCC) from site (Kumar Swamy Layout)

CRUSHING
Collected material is crushed by hammer to separate the aggregates and reduce their sizes in
smaller fraction.

TESTING
Conducting various tests are conducted in laboratory as per IS code & their results are
compared with natural aggregate
Concrete
It is crushed, the
reinforcement bar is
removed, and the
material is screened
for size. Market
outlets for recycled
concrete include
road base, general
fill, pavement
aggregate, and
drainage media.
 DESIGN & ANALYSIS
MIX PROPORTIONING
The mix proportioning was done as per the Indian
standards (IS 10262:2009). The cement used is of
single origin Portland Pozzolana type with specific
gravity 2.6.
