Abstract
Synopsis The effects of using crushed concrete as coarse and fine aggregates upon strength and deformation of concrete are reported. The properties of recycled aggregates differ from those of natural aggregates due to the presence of a considerable proportion of mortar attached natural aggregate and loose mortar. For a medium strength concrete, the results show that strength and modulus of elasticity are reduced by about 10% and 35%, respectively, whereas drying shrinkage is nearly doubled when recycled aggregates are used instead of natural aggregates in comparable mixes. The efect of recycledfine aggregate on the deformational properties is less than that of coarse aggregate. Fresh concrete properties are only marginally affected by the use of recycled aggregates.
