Durability of recycled aggregate concrete designed with equivalent mortar volume method
Abstract
Results of a comprehensive investigation about the durability of structural-grade concrete made with recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) are presented. The RCA-concrete mixes were proportioned using a new concrete mix design method, termed the equivalent mortar volume (EMV) method. The EMV method is based on the hypothesis that RCA is a composite material comprising mortar and natural aggregate; therefore, when proportioning a concrete mixture …
