Abstract:

In this paper, we have studied that the compressive strength of hardened concrete made with recycled concrete aggregates was lower as compare to the compressive strength of fresh concrete made with natural aggregates which is based on experimental work. The tests were conducted by replacing the recycled concrete aggregates by 0,25,50,75 and 100 % replacement of natural aggregates. The compressive strength test of cubes, split tensile strength test of cylinders and flexural strength test of beams were tested during the experimental work. From the investigations, it was found that the compressive strength, split tensile strength and hardened density of concrete made with RCA decreases as we increases the percentage of recycled concrete aggregates.
