Abstract:

The extraction of natural aggregates is depleting the sources and posing a challenge for producing technically and environmentally suitable concrete. To mitigate ecological and environmental concerns arising from excessive mining, the utilization of Recycled Coarse Aggregate (RCA) and seashore sand is being explored as a viable solution. This research paper assesses concrete's strength and durability characteristics by partially substituting recycled coarse aggregates and seashore sand, employing non-destructive tests like the Rebound hammer test, Ultrasonic pulse velocity, Carbonation test, and Half-cell potentiometer test. The findings are compared with conventional concrete, revealing that the partial incorporation of alternative materials like RCA and seashore sand yields significant enhancements in concrete strength and durability.

Keywords:

Carbonation test, Half-cell potentiometer test, Rebound hammer test, Recycled coarse aggregates, Seashore sand, Ultrasonic pulse velocity.
