Abstract

Disposal of Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) poses serious challenges worldwide. Recycling of CDW to produce recycled aggregates can minimize the gap between demand and supply of natural aggregates in construction sector. Use of recycled aggregates in structural applications has not gained momentum due to non-availability of standard guidelines pertaining to specifications, concrete mix design procedures for producing structural grade concrete i.e. M35, M40, M45, M60 and self compacting concrete. The present study is aimed to develop the above guidelines for producing structural grade concrete i.e. M35, M40, M45, M60 and self compacting concrete from the locally available commercial RCA.
