1. Introduction. In the pursuit of sustainable development in construction industry, there is a pressing need to find alternative aggregates for the production of concrete since approximately three-quarters volume of concrete is occupied by aggregates (Behera et al., 2014), and especially when the extraction of natural aggregates has also been restrained in some …

The optimum replacement ratio (ORR) of recycled aggregates (RAs) in concrete, considering (1) the highest accepted reduction in the concrete's properties and (2) the higher contribution to the environment, is 50%, which is accepted by EN-12620. The carbon footprint of recycled aggregates production is lower than natural aggregates (NA).
Natural aggregate consists of manufactured crushed stone and sand created by crushing bedrock, or naturally occurring unconsolidated sand and gravel.

Recycled aggregates; Recycled aggregates are an essential component of green concrete, as they help to reduce the environmental impact of concrete production by utilizing waste materials and reducing the demand for natural resources (Levy and Helene, 2004; Chen et al., 2003; Hansen, 1986; Evangelista and De Brito, 2014; Wang et al., 2021a; Tam et al., 2018).

The construction sector is responsible for approximately 6 billion tons of CO 2 emissions [1].Furthermore, the demand for raw material as aggregate for concrete is around 2.7 billion tons/year in EU countries altogether [2], 900 million tons/year in the USA [3], and 700 million tons/year in Brazil [4].Besides, at the end of the construction chain, the …
The purpose for which aggregates are sampled impacts the process and care required when sampling aggregates. The purpose for obtaining samples also establishes the procedure, frequency and size of the sample required. Aggregate samples might be obtained for source evaluation or aggregate production control,
Packing Theory for Natural and Crushed Aggregate to Obtain the Best Mix of Aggregate: Research and Development. ... This is not obtained by vibration, but by a shared shakingtapping process. The procedure is described in detail in the user manual, [10]. The accuracy for determination of packing is around ± 2 %.
Aggregate specific gravity is used in a number of applications including Superpave mix design, deleterious particle indentification and separation, and material property change identification. Superpave Mix Design. Superpave mix design is a volumetric process; it relies on mixing constituent materials on the basis of their volume.
Procedures for obtaining aggregate samples from project sites for quality tests. Aggregate Sampling, Testing, and Quality Assurance 33 and porosity to also report the testing procedures, for example, ASTM, AASHTO, or agency- developed specification. The number of agencies at each category for individual tests are summarized in Table 3-3.
Recycled concrete aggregates get less than with natural aggregate density. According to a study by Limbachiya et al, the relative density of recycled concrete aggregate (saturated surface in the dry state) is about 7-9% lower than natural aggregate. 2. Recycled Concrete Aggregate Vs Natural Aggregate: Porosity and Water Absorption
A. Arun proposed that recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) will be an ideal option to reduce the amount of concrete waste going into landfills since coarse aggregate accounts for a major volume of concrete [6]. However, the quality of RA from construction and demolition waste may not be as good as that of natural aggregate (NA).
19.2.1 Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA). Coarse RCA complies to the requirements of maximum 5% masonry content, 5% fine materials, 0.5% lightweight material, 5% asphalt, 1% foreign material and 1% acid soluble sulfate, and is suitable for use in concrete as per BS 8500-2 (2006).In designated concrete RC20/25 to RC40/50, RCA can automatically be used at 20% of …
Aggregate processing can include many different steps depending on the specific material desired. However, all aggregate processing includes two steps: extraction and screening. Most aggregate processing also involves crushing. Aggregate Extraction. The first step in aggregate processing is extraction. Aggregates must be extracted from their ...
As an alternative to natural aggregates, steel slag aggregate (SSA) has been investigated widely and has shown good performance and benefits in concrete applications. ... The ISC process generates little dust pollution, has a high degree of automation, and reduces the risk of steam explosion as it lays a thin steel slag layer flatting on a ...
Utilization of recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) as a replacement for natural aggregates in innovative concrete has gained fame around the world as a way to decrease natural aggregate use. ...

Aggregate processing commonly consists of transporting the materials to a plant, crushing, screening, washing, stockpiling and loading. The first step is to move the material from the mine to a primary crusher.
Sampling Aggregate from a Stockpile. Obtaining a representative sample from stockpiles can be challenging due to the impact of segregation, particularly when there is a considerable difference between the largest and smallest particles. ... Insert the sampling shovel at the base of the pile and move it vertically to obtain a sample. Repeat this ...
Table 1 shows that the main chemical components in RCP and slag are SiO 2, CaO, and Al 2 O 3, which belong to calcium silicon aluminium materials. Fig. 1 displays the XRD pattern of RCP, which mainly includes crystalline phases such as calcite, quartz, and dolomite [3], [9], [23].No peaks of cement hydration products are detected because this type of concrete …
Resource utilization of construction and demolition (C&D) waste has great potential to significantly reduce the consumption of natural resources and improve the environment.
