Partial Replacement of Coarse Aggregate by using Recycled Aggregate

Abstract

The high and rapidly rising cost of cement has made construction expensive in developing countries where cement is commonly used. Tests were conducted in this undertaking research with the selection of necessary materials and information required for the configuration of the blend is collected. Cubes and cylinders were casted with these concrete mixtures and subjected to 7-day, 14-day and 28-day healing and determining their strength. The determined compressive strength and spilt tensile strength was compared with the conventional concrete for percentage replacements of (0%,5%,10%,15%).
