- The global concrete industry requires about 10
billion tonnes of natural aggregate every year.
In addition, the amount of waste concrete
demolished from old buildings or reconstruction
of highways and other infrastructures is rapidly
rising in the world. Such a large amount of
natural aggregate consumption and landfill of
waste concrete would be responsible for many
environmental consequences. Investigations are
still necessary for recycling of demolished
concrete for high-level applications as a
structural concrete. With this background, this
study was planned by the Department of Civil
Engineering of The University of Asia Pacific
(UAP) with the financial support by The
Structural Engineers Limited (SEL). The scope of
this seminar will cover the following topics - Properties of the recycled aggregates collected
from demolished building sites, - Improvement of the workability of recycled
aggregate concrete, - Compressive strength, Youngs modulus,
stress-strain properties of recycled aggregate
concrete, - Variation of strength between cylinder concrete
specimens and cored cylinder concrete specimens
collected from concrete slabs made with recycled
aggregate, - Comparison of recycled aggregate with different
types of virgin aggregates. - Drying shrinkage of recycled aggregate concrete.
