Experimental Investigation of Concrete with Recycled Aggregates for Suitability in Concrete Structures
This paper presents the experimental tests of concrete made on the recycled aggregates basis. Tests were carried out to determine the concrete suitability for construction purposes. The physical and strength properties were determined for three types of recycling aggregates. The aggregates were obta...

This paper presents the experimental tests of concrete made on the recycled aggregates basis. Tests were carried out to determine the concrete suitability for construction purposes. The physical and strength properties were determined for three types of recycling aggregates. The aggregates were obtained from sanitary ceramics ‘SC’ (washbasins and toilet bowls), building ceramics ‘BC’ (solid bricks), and concrete rubble ‘CR’. The results obtained in tests of compressive strength, bending tensile strength, water absorption, total shrinkage, watertightness, and frost resistance of concrete made of SC and CR aggregates gave grounds for stating its suitability for structural purposes. Concrete based on the BC aggregates is not recommended for structural applications. |
