Strength and durability studies on recycled aggregate concrete

Abstract

Concrete is one of the most widely used construction material causing a high demand for it.As a result of this, there is an increase in the demand for its constituents like the coarse aggregates, sand, cement and water. This increase in demand is causing extensive quarrying of natural aggregates as it is required as coarse aggregates in concrete production and also it forms the major constituent by mass in concrete.
