Abstract

The aim of this paper is to provide an original, systematic and critical review of existing mix design methods for recycled aggregate concrete (RAC), with identification of research gaps. These design methods were compared to the design methods used for natural aggregate concrete (NAC). Also a short literature survey showing the effect of the design methods on the properties of RAC and NAC was conducted. Special emphasis was placed on the critical analysis of literature results to show the existing relations between the individual mechanical properties of RAC. Also, a critical comparison was made with existing relations for NAC that can be found in the literature. Based on the analysed research results, hypotheses related to the possible behaviour of RAC at early ages were formulated towards the understanding the role of the mix design method in the mechanical behaviour of RAC at early ages.
