CONCLUSION
INTRODUCTION
To achieve sustainable issue in
construction area, researchers and
companies focus on using waste
concrete as a new construction
material. It is called recycled
aggregate which can be produced
by concrete crusher.
RAC or Recycled Aggregate Concrete
is one of the most important use of
waste concrete and is being used
throughout the world .
It
is
manufactured
by
using
previously prepared concrete as
aggregate with fresh cement matrix.
It is sustainable and environment
friendly as it recycles the concrete
which would have been discarded as
waste and had to be dumped off.
It reduces the construction cost and
when used properly gives similar
performance as virgin aggregate
concrete.
(cont.)
The strength of RAC greatly
depends on the micro structural
interfaces present in it.
There are two interfaces in RAC:
1.Old interfacial Transition
Zone(Old ITZ):It is the zone
formed
between
natural
aggregate and old cement
matrix.
2.New Interfacial Transition
Zone(New ITZ):It is the zone
formed
between
Recycled
Coarse Aggregate(RCA) and new
cement matrix.
The study of interfaces is
important as they are a prime
source of internal micro cracks
which greatly affect the strength
and durability of concrete.
Characteristics of recycle
aggregate concrete
Recycle aggregate concrete
has a Crushed stone and
clean waste concrete of at
least 95% by weight of
concrete with typical total
contamination lower than 1%
of the bulk mass
The characteristic of recycled
aggregates could be different
by its parent concrete
because the parent concrete
was designed for its purposes
such as permeable, durable
and high strength concrete

STEPS TO BE TAKEN
Set up of the necessary processing infrastructure.
Necessary infrastructure should also be available
for testing the quality of recycled aggregates.
Project developers need to be educated on on-site
waste management plans.
Concerned authorities need to plan an awareness
campaign, using the electronic and online media
to promote the virtues of recycled aggregates.
Removing misconceptions about recycled
aggregates as being of inferior quality among the
public.

Conclusion
Initial moisture states of RCA is one of the most
important variables that impact strength and
shrinkage.
When oven-dried RCA is used, strength is used to
be greatly reduced but free shrinkage as measured
in this study was low.
The creep to free shrinkage ratio for RAC was
similar to that of normal concrete at 7 days under
restrained conditions.
When greater volume of recycled fine aggregates
and fly ash was used, free shrinkage of the
specimens was reduced.
