- Description
- In this paper, the fresh properties of self-compacting concrete (SCC) using recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) were evaluated. Five types of SCC mixtures were made, where the percentage of substitution of natural coarse aggregate by RCA was 0, 25, 50, 75 and 100%. The cement content, water to binder (W/B) ratio and Superplasticizer dosage were kept the same for all mixes. The effects of RCA on the key fresh properties such as filling ability, passing ability, and segregation resistance of SCC were investigated by conducting several fresh concrete tests included slump-flow, L-box, and sieve stability tests. The overall test results suggest that RCA can be used to produce SCC substituting up to 100% natural coarse aggregates without affecting the key fresh properties of concrete.
