Deformation and permeability of recycled aggregate concrete - A comprehensive review

Properties of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) were found to be dependent on the source, its composition and consistent quality of demolished concrete waste. Many studies have shown that using recycled aggregate (RA) in concrete suffers from strength and durability problems caused mainly due to relatively porous residual mortar adhered on the surface of aggregate grains resulting in high water absorption and increase in permeability and...
