Flexural behaviour of reinforced concrete beams made with fine recycled concrete aggregates
Abstract Even though in several countries there are regulations allowing, even at a small scale, the use of recycled aggregates in concrete production, practice shows that the cases in which this solution is implemented are still rare. However, in most of these countries the use of the fine Fraction of the Recycled Aggregates (FRA) from general Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) is restricted or even banned. More recent studies have shown that the use of FRA is feasible and that the resulting mechanical performance is perfectly acceptable. This paper presents the flexural tests performed on reinforced concrete beams made with replacement of natural by recycled fine aggregates, comparing the results obtained in terms of ultimate load and deformation, ductility, bearing capacity and cracking with those from a reference beam, made with conventional concrete.
