| dc.description.abstract | Self-compacting concrete (SCC) possesses several benefits in terms of production and
placement over traditional concrete. Elimination of external or internal vibration of
compaction, better flowability, workability, pumpability, and as well as increased bonding
with congested reinforcement are some of the benefits of using SCC. And if we can use
recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) as the coarse aggregate in SCC, there is a possibility to
decrease the environmental impact of producing concrete. The work that we are presenting in
this paper explores to construct upon the knowledge that we can get on this topic. We
reviewed the workability, strength, and fracture properties of SCC's containing 0%, 25%
50%, 75% and 100% of coarse RCA from 4 different thesis papers. Reviewing those papers,
we found out that if we use 25% and 50% RCA in SCC, there is little to no negative impact
that can be observed for workability and strength properties in all of them . However, with
increasing the level of RCA more than 50% showed decrease in strength tests | en_US |
