West Germany must learn from long experience
The lessons from the past are perhaps not fully grasped in the present recycling renaissance, the author suggests. An assessment is then given of recent research testing of concretes with recycled gravel and basalt concrete as aggregate. Compared with all-new concrete of similar composition, compressive strengths were 10-25 percent lower, elasticity modulus 15-35 percent lower, and creep 50 percent higher. Dr Schulz worked on the subject at the Technical University of Aachen and is now with the Institute for Construction Material Tests at Waldkirch, Freiburg.
