Abstract

The utilisation of recycled coarse aggregate obtained from demolished concrete has gained momentum in recent years due to its contribution towards sustainability by minimising the use of artificially produced materials and eliminating environmental problems due to dumped waste materials. The present research exploited the possibility of producing high-volume fly ash (HVFA)-based recycled aggregate (RA) high-strength concrete. It was found that 50% of desired strength could be achieved even with 50% replacement of cement with fly ash and 50% of natural aggregate (NA) with RA. An attempt was thus made to study the effects of RA and HVFA on durability characteristics. The parameters considered were resistance to chloride ion penetration, acid attack, sulfate attack and sorption. It was found that replacement of NA with RA and cement with fly ash in higher volumes showed a way of considering economy and environmental effects as criteria, given a little bit of compromise towards strength and durability criteria but still falling well within an acceptable limit.
