To study strength of the demolished concrete aggregate under compression by performing compressive strength test.
Abstract
During the last few decades, the recycling of waste product has become important to produce new products suitable for the sustainable environment. The demand for new construction is growing with the rise in population that is why the infrastructure industry became second largest segment after agriculture in India.
This experimental investigation shows that the demolished concrete that are obtained from site make good quality concrete. The experimental investigation has been carried out to assess the compressive strength of recycled concrete at 7th and 28th days. The compressive strength thus, observed was compared with strength of conventional concrete. Test results showed that the compressive strength of recycled concrete (up to 50% coarse aggregate replacement by demolished concrete) at the end of 28 days is comparable to the conventional concrete.
