the recycled aggregate concrete is almost 85% and 80% of natural aggregate concrete. Amn on.et.al (2002), concrete having a 28 -day compressive strength of 28 MPa was crushed at ages 1, 3 and 28 days to serve as a source of aggregate for new concrete, simulating the situation prevailing in precast concrete plants. The properties of the
Recycled aggregate concrete is an eco-friendly material that is increasingly being used in new constructions. Nowadays, this application is mainly limited by user's lack of confidence, as coarse recycled aggregate (CRA) is usually more porous, i.e., it has a higher water absorption, than coarse natural aggregate.
