This book reports on the physical and mechanical characterization
of Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC), produced through a
partial-to-total replacement of ordinary aggregates with what have
been dubbed Recycled Concrete Aggregates (RCAs). It proposes a
theoretical framework for understanding the relationships between
RCAs and RCA, and for predicting the resulting behavior of RAC. The
book demonstrates that in the case of RAC two additional parameters
have to be taken into account than with ordinary aggregates, due to
the composite nature and higher porosity of RCAs. By extending
Abrams' Law for Recycled Aggregate Concrete, it represents a first
step in the formulation of a general model for predicting the
properties of RAC. The theoretical approach presented here
addresses an important gap in the literature and is expected to
stimulate new research on the use of this more sustainable form of
concrete in structural applications.
