Abstract

Part of an extensive research undertaken by the Concrete and Masonry Research Group at Kingston University-London was reported to demonstrate through scientific research and full-scale site trials, that quality recycled concrete aggregates can be produced and can be used successfully in a range of concrete applications. The effects of up to 100% coarse recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) on fresh, engineering and durability related properties were established and assessed its suitability for use in a rage of sustainable applications.
