A CONCEPTUAL MODEL FOR DESIGNING RECYCLED AGGRE...

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.
