ABSRACT - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]ABSTRACTIn the face of a possible scarcity of natural aggregates in the future in line with sustainable construction, this research investigates the feasibility of the use of recycled coarse aggregates as an alternative to natural coarse aggregates in structural concrete. The recycled coarse aggregate used in the research was processed from waste concrete. The percentage of recycled coarse aggregates by weight of all in aggregates in the test mixes were 0%, 5% 10% 20% and 30 % respectively. Th ... Continue reading---

CHAPTER ONE - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]CHAPTER ONE INTROUDUCTION1.0 Background to the studyConstruction and Demolition Waste (C&D) is produced during new construction, refurbishment or renovation of buildings. Demolition waste includes materials from complete building removal as well as partial removals when aspects of the buildings are retained. Construction and Demolition waste includes bricks, concrete, masonry, soil, rocks, lumber, paving materials glass, plastics, aluminum, steel, drywall (gypsum), plywood (formwor ...

CHAPTER TWO - [ Total Page(s): 2 ]CHAPTER TWO2.0 LITERATURE REVIEWThe function of aggregate has the influence of the construction quality, therefore, the type and quality of aggregate are very important to be concerned. The fine and coarse aggregates generally use 10% to 25% of the concrete volume (20% to 35% by mass) and will influence the concrete’s freshly mixed and hardened properties, mixture proportions, and economy. Moreover, fine aggregate usually consists of natural sand with particles around 4.75mm (0.2 in ... Continue reading---
CHAPTER THREE - [ Total Page(s): 4 ]CHAPTER THREE METHODOLOGY3.0 Research Methodology Investigation to determine moisture content, density test, Aggregate Crushed Value, Aggregate Impact Value, Slump test, Water absorption, Sieve Analysis and Compressive strength test was carried out. The total of sixty (60) concrete cubes of different mixes proportions were prepared with varying percentage. From each mixture 3 cubical specimens of 150mm x 150mm x 150mm were prepared and strength were ... Continue reading---
CHAPTER FOUR - [ Total Page(s): 8 ]The compressive strength result shown that zero percent (0%) of crushed concrete has the highest strength value when compared to other percentages.4.4 Water Absorption RateThe water absorption coefficient test approach employed in this research is based on outlined in EN ISO 15148: -2002 It is significant that the specimens have the same initial moisture content. In this project, 150mm3 concrete cubes cured for 7, 14, 21, and 28 days, followed by drying at 105ËšC in the oven for a further ... Continue reading---
CHAPTER FIVE - [ Total Page(s): 1 ]CHAPTER FIVE5.0 CONCLUSION i. The research has demonstrated that the recycled aggregate (RCA) processed from waste concrete has poor mechanical and physical properties as compared to natural aggregate (NA). The existing mortar content of the RCA was the main cause for poor quality since it lowered its strength and increased its water absorption. ii. The test shows that crushed concrete cannot conveniently be used in the production of new concrete for construction.5.1 R ... Continue reading---
