STUDIED MATERIAL

In this research, recycled aggregates coming from concrete precast components are used as aggregate for new self-compacting concretes.

First crushing Self compacting concret fabrication

Four different mixtures were studied. A control mixture and incorporation three degrees of recycled coarse aggregate.

PRECAST PLANT MIXING PROCESS

The industrial test was performed using a 3 cubic meter industrial mixer.

INTRODUCTION

High amounts of good quality concrete wastes in a precast plant: use of recycled aggregate in new self-compacting recycled concretes.

CONCLUSIONS The recycled aggregates of a precast plant are high quality and can be used into self-compacting concrete precast elements. However, the observed losses of mechanical properties are proportional to the degree of substitution but very small in the case of percentages below 20% of recycled aggregate.
