Bond of Reinforcement in Concrete Incorporating Recycled Concrete Aggregates

Using recycled concrete aggregates (RCAs) as coarse aggregate in concrete has the potential to supplement current natural aggregate reserves, divert construction and demolition debris from landfills, and promote the adoption of sustainable civil infrastructure. As many of the design equations used to calculate structural concrete properties are based on empirical data for natural aggregate concrete, using these equations for RCA concrete may …
