【 摘 要 】

Self Compacting Concrete (SCC), owing to its advantages, is now a buzz word in the present construction industry. The application of recycled aggregates in concrete mixes is widely investigated. The present investigation focuses on the use of RCA in SCC. The variables of study include grade of concrete (Normal, standard grade and high strength), RCA content (0 to 100%) and age of concrete (7 and 28 days). The parameters of investigation are fresh and hardened state properties, viz. compressive, split tensile and flexural strengths. The mix design was carried out based on modified Nan Su method. The fresh state properties were satisfied for all RCA contents in all the three grades of concretes tested. The test results were encouraging and the target mean strength could be attained in M30 concrete even with 50% RCA as replacement of natural aggregate. However, a reduction in strength was observed as the grade of concrete increased. Optimum RCA content was arrived at based on the strength for different grades of concretes tested.
