I. INTRODUCTION
Concrete plays a essential role in
infrastructure development having main ingredient
as cement, aggregates (course and fine) & water and
among these ingredients, aggregate occupy the
largest volume of about 60–75% of total concrete
volume [1]. Construction industry uses
approximately 20 billion tons of raw materials
annually as reported [2]. It consumes a large amount
of natural resources that cause substantial
environmental, energy and economic losses as it
exploits 50% raw material, 40% of total energy, as
well as generates 50% of total waste [2]. The
depletion of good quality aggregates along with the
increase in aggregate requirement due to increasing
infrastructure development makes the lesser
availability of natural materials, over quarrying led
direct impact on environment and demand-supply
chain of construction material are getting affected.
With increasing pace of development a great
concern is required towards environment as well as
natural resources so alternative material is required
to reduce the depletion of natural resources with
keeping great care of environmental issues.
Recycled aggregate are obtained from
demolished waste concrete after recycling process
and used as a part of production of fresh concrete.
They are obtained from waste concrete, rejected
precast concrete members, broken masonry,
laboratory sample waste, concrete road beds and
asphalt pavement, leftover concrete from ready mix
concrete plant and the waste generated from
different laboratories [6]. Further recycling process
is applied on the collected concrete waste, in this
process of obtaining recycled aggregate concrete
waste, jaw crushers are mainly used for primary
crushing, followed by secondary crusher, named as
Impact crushers, it produces a better quality of
aggregate with less adhered mortar content [9]. The
selection of crushers at various stages depends on
several factors such as maximum grain size, desired
output quality, desirable particle size and shape of
the various fractions, and amount of fines produced.
Higher quality aggregates can be obtained by
involving some more process like sorting, screening
and removal of contaminant etc [6]. Mobile crushers
are being employed in today’s world as to decrease
the transportation cost as well as time [2]. Major
concrete waste part is coming from demolition of old
building as those old buildings have either
completed their age or are no longer of purpose
fulfilling, in this way they produce a large waste,
which earlier was used as land feeling material, but
now due to shortage of land, dumping issue has been
created, which is leading towards land debaris and
other environmental problems too.
In this paper, behavior of concrete utilizing
recycled aggregate is critically reviewed. Properties
of recycled aggregate are discussed at first, followed
by the properties of concrete utilizing recycled

aggregate. This type of concrete has been used in
many applications, so salient case studies have also
been reviewed. In the end concluding remarks have
been reported which will be helpful for the future
research progress in this field.
II. PROPERTIES OF RECYCLED
AGGREGATE
Recycled aggregate, obtained from
construction and demolition waste generally consists
of natural coarse aggregate and adhered mortar. The
old mortar mostly contains fine aggregate, hydrated
and un-hydrated cement particles. The quality of
recycled aggregate mostly depends on the methods
of recycling process to be adopted, but the properties
of recycled aggregate mainly depend on the
properties of concrete from where recycled
aggregate were obtained and water-cement ratio of
the original concrete from which it was obtained
[12,13]. The dry mortar coating over recycled
aggregate makes it porous, inhomogeneous and less
dense [3,10]. Many studies reported that coating in
recycled aggregate varies from 25% to 60% by
volume and according to the size of aggregate as
with increase in size the surface area increases
[12,17,15]. It can be noticed through a number of
studies that the coating of mortar on recycled
aggregate directly increases the water absorption
capacity of concrete [18], as it generates porous
nature which is responsible for the higher water
absorption capacity of recycled aggregate as these
pores absorbing more water [22]. The water
absorption capacity is 2–3 times higher of recycled
aggregate as compared to natural aggregate [11,14].
Poon et al. [15], experimentally investigated that it
may vary up to 15%. It varies depending on the
amount of cement paste attached to the surface of
the aggregate [24].
The density and specific gravity of the
attached mortar is quite less and accounts for the low
specific gravity, bulk density and saturated surface
dry density of recycled aggregate [17,19]. As on
crusher the practical size can’t be uniformly
maintained, so they are poorly graded [21]. Recycled
aggregate are round in size which also decreases the
properties of concrete utilizing recycled aggregate,
as due to round size the bonding between concrete
become loose and sometime its noticed in
microstructure that crack is produced between
aggregate and old mortar which segregate the
aggregate with rest of concrete and leads to decrease
in strength such as crushing strength, impact
resistance and abrasion resistance when compared to
natural aggregate [13,26].
III. CONCRETE UTILIZING
RECYCLED AGGREGATE
Recycled aggregate have been used to
prepare the concrete by partial or full replacement of
natural aggregate. In literature various experimental
studies have been carried out on this type of
concrete. Various properties such as workability,
compression, tension, creep-shrinkage, modulus of
elasticity and durability properties as water
permeability and ultrasonic pulse velocity are
discussed below:
3.1 Properties of fresh concrete utilizing recycled
aggregate
Workability is highly affected by water
cement ratio of concrete, size of aggregate used,
shape of concrete and ration of fine to coarser
aggregate used in concrete, a workable concrete
should never bleed or show segregation. Many
studies reported that desired workability is hard to
achieve in case of concrete utilizing recycled
aggregate [28,29,30]. As the mortar coating does
more water absorption so high water-cement ratio is
required to maintain the desired workability [31].
Some researchers also concluded that at least 10%
extra water is required in case of recycled aggregate
as compared to quarried aggregate [32], therefore
water-cement ratio gets disturbed and water required
for workability, gets absorbed by recycled aggregate
[33].
Etxeberria et al., [9] reported the solution to
high water absorption and alteration in water cement
ratio was use of pre-soaked recycled aggregate [9].
On the other hand it was reported that the
workability is also directly influenced by the
properties of parent concrete as with the better
quality of parent concrete the bond development of
recycled aggregate and rest ingredients is increased
[26,27,34]. On the other hand it was reported by
Tavakali et al., [23] that the slump loss of recycled
aggregate concrete can be overcome with
incorporation of many admixtures, super plasticizer
and minerals.
3.2 Properties of hardened concrete utilizing
recycled aggregate
On hardened concrete compressive, tensile,
creep-shrinkage, modulus of elasticity have been
observed and reported below:
3.2.1 Compressive strength
Compressive strength is highly affected by
parameters like water-cement ratio of concrete, with
the increase in water cement ration the strength goes
down and in case of recycled aggregate it also gets
influenced by the percentage of replacement of
recycled aggregate with quarried aggregate in

concrete also in the case when compared with same
water-cement ratio [21,38,39]. It was reported that
reduction in strength is mostly in between 12% to
30% but sometimes till 60 % with 100%
replacement of recycled aggregate [7,9,18,19].
Sometimes the strength parameter get influenced by
un-hydrated coating of parent concrete over recycled
aggregate as due to the curing condition may unable
to complete the hydration process in parent concrete
[11]. In an study it was reported that when the water
cement ratio of parent concrete is kept equal or
lower than the old parent concrete than the strength
obtained at 100% replacement level of recycled
aggregate is equal or may be more [11]. However,
Ridzuan et al., [33] reported an increase in
compressive strength of recycled aggregate concrete
as compare to conventional concrete. It may be due
to the ignorance of parent concrete properties or may
be due to use of high quality recycled aggregate as
their water absorption may be less and the remaining
water in turn increased the water-cement ratio, as
when high water cement ratio 0.40, 0.55 and 0.70 for
recycled aggregate concrete was studied the result
was increase in compressive strength of recycled
aggregate concrete as compared to conventional
concrete [40]. While number of studies shows that
recycled aggregate can be used up to 30%
replacement level by volume to maintain equal
compressive strength as of conventional concrete
[4,39].
3.2.2 Tensile strength
Flexure strength: - Studies reported
maximum 10% to 24% reduction in flexure strength
has been reported when different level of recycled
aggregate is used to produce concrete [7,19,31,23].
When compared to normal concrete different water
cement ratio was investigated than a considerable
difference in the flexural strength has been reported
[34]. As the recycled aggregate replacement ratio
increases, the flexure strength decreases [30].
Split tensile strength: - It has been reported
that recycled aggregate concrete exhibit better [9,43]
or similar [21] strength parameter as compared to
conventional concrete. Explanation may be as
concluded by study which reported that due to high
water absorption capacity of recycled aggregate a
better bond is developed in concrete between
recycled aggregate and binder which results in
increased split tensile strength [9]. By replacing
recycled aggregate up to 100% from quarried
aggregate in concrete divergence has been reported
in the split tensile strength [43].
3.2.3 Creep
Creep deformation is usually influenced by
aggregate and mix proportion of concrete with age
of concrete. In case of recycled aggregate concrete it
can be noticed that it increases with increasing
proportion of replacement level of recycled
aggregate in concrete and also directly affected by
the content and properties of paste, 50% higher
creep is reported in recycled aggregate concrete as
compared to normal concrete [14,41]. On the other
hand reports are also stated that creep was crossing
50% when 100% replacement level of recycled
aggregate [41]. However the consequences of higher
creep can also be stopped by partially replacing or
extra adding minerals with the binder [38].
3.2.4 Shrinkage
Changes of pore water content due to
drying or wetting processes cause significant volume
changes of concrete in load-free specimens. As the
recycled aggregate absorb more water which lead to
decrease in pore water pressure in concrete which
develops more shrinkage cracks as compared to
fresh quarried aggregate [19]. It has been reported
that the shrinkage may be due to higher stiffness of
recycled aggregate [19] and on the other hand
shrinkage also increases with the increase in
recycled aggregate content in concrete [35]. On the
other hand some study reported that the coating of
mortar on recycled aggregate leads to increased
shrinkage as compared to conventional aggregate
[5,8,23]. Shrinkage is noticed to be 20% increased
when 50% replacement of natural aggregate was
done and when 100% replacement was done than it
got increased to 70% in a period of six months
[20,14,28,41]. However, if 30% partial replacement
of recycled aggregate used in concrete than
shrinkage can be as normal as of normal concrete
[21] and shrinkage increases with increase in
recycled aggregate replacement content as reported
by investigation [5]. Many study also reported that
the effect of shrinkage can be minimized by
incorporating some minerals and admixtures in
recycled aggregate concrete [27,38,39].
3.2.5 Modulus of elasticity
It is directly affected by the transition zone
properties, dense nature of porosity of aggregate. In
various investigation it was reported that with the
increase in partial replacement of recycle aggregate
the modulus of elasticity decreases [4,31]. Some
Experimental studies reveled a decrease of 20to 25%
[44] and some of 39% [30] while other reported
decrease up to 45% when 100% recycled aggregate
were replaced with quarried aggregate [4,18,25,37].
Studies reported that due to coating of mortar over
recycled aggregate the modulus of elasticity
decreases [39]. However if replacement level of
recycled aggregate is kept only 30% then the
reduction in modulus of elasticity was observed

only35% [45] and it can be concluded with
investigation that the decrease in modulus of
elasticity is due to reduction in stiffness of concrete
[16].
3.3 Durability properties of concrete utilizing
recycled aggregate
Durability is one of the important
requirement to judge the life of concrete, water
permeability and ultrasonic pulse velocity are
reported to study the durability behavior of concrete
utilizing recycled aggregate as below:
3.3.1 Water Permeability
Water permeability has reported higher for
recycled aggregate concrete as compared to
conventional concrete [47], While it was also
noticed that concrete mixture with w/c ratio of 0.4
have the lowest in water permeability, compared to
the result 0.5 and 0.6 w/c ratio mixes [47].
3.3.2 Ultrasonic Pulse velocity
Ultrasonic pulse velocity increases with the
age of concrete from 7 days to 28 days [46]. The rate
of increment of Pulse Velocity decreases gradually
from 28 days to 56 days [46]. At the same time, for
normal concrete the ultrasonic pulse velocity results
are more, as compared to recycled aggregate because
of the cement paste attached to the recycled
aggregate [46]. Also, the water absorption and bulk
density of recycled aggregate are more as compared
to normal aggregate. Therefore, the results of 50%
replacement are less as compared to 25 %
replacement case and the results of 25% replacement
are less as compared to normal concrete [46].
IV. CASE STUDIES
Concrete utilizing recycled aggregate has
been used for many applications. Some salient
studies are reported below:
4.1 Case Study I:- Influence of recycled coarse
aggregate on mechanical and durability properties of
concrete [48].
This case study was performed to evaluate
the mechanical properties and durability properties
for concrete utilizing recycled aggregate. In this
study five different mixes were prepared by
replacing the coarse aggregate by the recycled
aggregate at varied replacement level (0%, 15%,
30%, 60% and 80%). Control specimen was denoted
as 0% of the recycled aggregate replacement.
Compressive strength, shrinkage tests and ultrasonic
pulse velocity were performed on prepared samples.
Fig. 1 Surface plot of average ultrasonic pulse
velocity of specimen versus the recycled aggregate
content and age [48].
Based on reported results of experimental
investigation compressive test results reported that,
with the increase in replacement level of the natural
coarse aggregate with the recycled aggregate would
reduce the compressive strength of the concrete.
However, shrinkage test result reported that
expansion takes place in water curing and the
highest expansion attained by specimens with 80%
of recycled aggregate replacement is at 64.8%
compared to that of the normal concrete at 56 days.
Ultrasonic pulse velocity test result reported that
concrete utilizing recycled aggregate is ‘‘good’’ in
terms of its ultrasonic pulse velocity value (figure 1).
So, It can be concluded from the study that
with the increase in replacement level of recycled
aggregate the compressive strength is decreasing and
expansion is increasing, while its good in terms of
ultrasonic pulse velocity, hence recycled aggregate
can be used in production of fresh concrete but up to
a certain replacement level.
4.2 Case Study II:- Influence on behavior of
Concrete utilizing recycled aggregate [49].
This case study was performed to evaluate
the effects of both fine and coarse recycled
aggregates on the behavior of modified concrete. In
this study five different mixes were prepared with a
large content of recycled concrete aggregates
(ranging from 27% to 63.5% of total volume of
aggregates) replacing natural ones (fine and/or
coarse). Bulk Density, Water Absorption,
Compressive strength, Elastic Modulus, Tensile
Splitting Strength, Creep & Shrinkage test, Pore Size
distribution tests were performed on prepared
samples.

Table 1:- Mix proportion of concrete utilizing
recycled aggregate [49].
As shown in table 1, RC1 were prepared
replacing all the natural gravel (G) with the recycled
fraction R 25. A further concrete mix, named RC2,
were prepared starting from RC1 and replacing half
the volume of the natural aggregate fraction 0–16
mm with the recycled fraction R 16. In particular,
24% of Sand (S) and 100% of Fine Gravel (FG)
were substituted with R 16. The total volume of
recycled aggregates (both R 16 and R 25 fractions)
in RC2 was equal to 63.5%. In order to investigate
the effect of the fine aggregate substitution on the
concrete properties, two further mixes were prepared
keeping constant the volume as natural gravel. In
more details, RC3 was prepared with the same
volume as R 16 fine recycled aggregates as RC2,
36.5% and 27% of natural aggregates (S and G
fraction, respectively). The total volume of recycled
aggregates in RC3 was equal to 36.5% and
corresponds to 50% of the fine fraction substitution.
Finally, RC4 was prepared starting from RC3 and
operating a different amount of replacement for S
and FG. In particular, half the volume of natural
sand and fine gravel was replaced with recycled
aggregates.
Fig. 2 Concrete compressive strength results at 7 and
28 days [49]
Based on reported results of experimental
investigation, concrete workability was more
influenced by the shape, texture and grain size
distribution of the recycled aggregates than by their
total amount. Among the investigated RACs, RC1
and RC4 exhibited the satisfactory compressive
(figure 2), flexural strength, elastic modulus and the
best physical features (density and water
absorption), thus highlighting that a proper
assortment of fine and coarse concrete waste could
lead to good structural concrete as using only coarse
recycled aggregates. Concrete shrinkage strain was
negatively influenced by the use of recycled
aggregates, whereas specific creep results showed
that RC1 recycled aggregate concrete exhibited even
better performance than the reference concrete.
While it was noticed that, porosity data and pore size
distribution fully agreed with the mechanical
properties determined for the investigated samples,
thus confirming the use of recycled concrete
aggregates could lead to very dense microstructures.
So, it can be concluded that, 27%to 36.5%
partial replacement improves various properties of
modified concrete and can be used to prepare the
concrete successfully.
4.3 Case Study III:- Comparison of properties of
concrete containing normal recycled aggregate and
preserved quality recycled aggregate [50].
This case study was performed to compare
the concrete utilizing recycled concrete aggregate of
preserved quality with concrete utilizing
commercially available recycled concrete aggregate.
In this study 29 mixes were tested with recycled
aggregate replacement level ranging from 30% to
100% of the coarse aggregate five different mixes
were prepared with a large content of recycled
concrete aggregates (ranging from 27% to 63.5% of
total volume of aggregates) replacing natural ones
(fine and/or coarse).
A two-stage mixing procedure was
followed for all mixtures tested in the study. Fresh
properties were determined and to examine slump
retention, slump test was carried at 15-min intervals
for a total of 45 min. Further compressive strength,
splitting tensile strength test, drying shrinkage and
salt scaling testing were performed to on the
prepared samples.
Figure 3 Splitting tensile strength results of
preserved recycled aggregate verses commercial
recycled aggregate [50].

Based on the results of the experimental
study it was reported that, recycled aggregate of
preserves quality were found to have higher quality
than commercially available recycled aggregate and
the slump retention results showed feasibility to
produce recycled aggregate concrete of adequate
workability and workability retention. While
increase in the amount of recycled aggregate in the
mix resulted in a decrease in compressive strength.
However, concrete made with preserved-quality
recycled aggregate showed higher strength when
compared to the same grade of concrete containing
commercial recycled aggregate. The same
conclusion applies to splitting tensile strength (figure
3). It was also reported that an increase in the
amount of recycled aggregate resulted in an increase
in drying shrinkage. Concrete with commercial
recycled aggregate experienced significantly more
shrinkage compared to concrete with preserved-
quality recycled aggregate.
Durability test results reported that all salt
scaling concrete samples which contained the right
amount of entrained air were able to satisfy the 0.8
kg/m2
mass loss requirement. However, an increase
in the amount of recycled aggregate increased salt
scaling. Concrete with commercial recycled
aggregate samples exhibited significantly more mass
loss compared to concrete containing preserved-
quality recycled aggregate.
So, It can be concluded from this study that
using preserved-quality recycled aggregate at 30%
partial replacement of coarse aggregate was found to
produce concrete of performance similar to that of
concrete with normal recycled aggregates.
V. CONCLUDING REMARKS
Recycled aggregate is the material for
today’s modern era as it is economic and eco-
friendly. Recycled aggregate posses relatively lower
bulk density, crushing and impact values and higher
water absorption as compared to natural aggregate.
Properties of recycled aggregate as highlighted in
this paper suggest that, a suitable concrete mix
design will produce the recycled aggregate concrete
which will achieve target strength and durability
properties. The salient remark for the use of recycled
aggregate as follows:
 Recycling concrete demolition waste as
aggregates are a better way of reusing materials
by keeping them from being disposed into
landfills.
 Physical properties decrease due to coating of
mortar over surface of recycled aggregate.
 The mechanical properties and durability
properties also get negatively influenced if
recycled aggregate is used in concrete above
30% by weight replacement.
 Utilization of recycled aggregate is cost
efficient as compared to the natural aggregates,
hence properly use can reduce the project cost
as well as save environment.
