Fracture and Failure of Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC) – A Review
Abstract: In the world, many countries put into effect the renewal plans and/or the laws and/or the regulations for recent engineering structures which have reached their lifetime, are risk prone and have been built lacking quality engineering, or without considering urban planning. Hence, many structures are demolished and this situation increases the amount of construction and demolition waste (C & DW). Also, resource consumptions are rapidly increased due to excessive constructional …

An Experimental Study on Concrete by Replacement of Coarse Aggregate with Demolished Building Waste in Crushed Concrete
Abstract: A large amount of construction and demolition wastes are produced annually in India. These waste materials require a large place to dispose and then the disposal of wastes has become a severe problem. The continuous use of natural resources for making conventional concrete leads to the reduction in their availability and results in the increase of the cost of the coarse aggregate and fine aggregate. The possible use of recycling …
