(4) It is suggested that, prior to mix proportion design and preparation of concrete using recycled concrete aggregates, it is necessary to obtain the details of demolished concrete such as its strength grade or water/binder ratio and of the characteristics of flaws in recycled aggregate induced by processing the demolished concrete.

Mechanical properties of recycled aggregate concrete at low and high water/binder ratios

Recycled concrete aggregates are different from virgin aggregates due to the amount of cement pastes remaining on the surface of the recycled aggregates after undergoing the recycling process [14, 15].
