New Mixture Proportioning Method for Concrete Made with Coarse Recycled Concrete Aggregate
Abstract
New method of mixture proportioning is proposed for concrete made with coarse recycled concrete aggregates (RCA). The proposed method, dubbed the “equivalent mortar volume” method, is predicated on the fact that RCA is a two-phase material comprising mortar and natural aggregate; therefore, when proportioning a concrete mixture involving RCA, one must account for the quantity and quality of each phase and adjust both the coarse aggregate and …
