Abstract

This study evaluated the durability properties of self-compacting concrete made with recycled aggregate for pavement application. The developed mixture was subjected to permeability, water absorption, and chloride penetration tests, and obtained results were compared with those of normal pavement concrete. Three recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) replacement percentages at the rate of 20%, 40%, and 60% were considered in addition to the control concrete (0%). A grade M40 grade ternary blended concrete with Ordinary Portland cement (OPC), fly ash, and silica fume was designed. The fresh properties of the concrete - slump flow and V-funnel flow tests were determined. The results showed that a mixture containing up to 40% RCA had higher resistance to water absorption and chloride ingress than a similar mixture for normal-weight concrete.
