Non-Destructive Testing of Concrete with Fine Recycled Aggregate

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper is focused on non-destructive testing of concrete containing fine recycled aggregate (FRA). FRA was obtained from demolished concrete structures and crushed in the laboratory on fraction 0 – 4 mm. There were prepared four concrete mixtures. The first concrete mixture was control, did not include FRA. In other mixtures was natural replaced natural sand by FRA. There were tested workability of fresh concrete mixture and physical properties of hardened concrete. Finally, it is possible to say that the use of FRA influences the physical properties of concrete. The physical properties of concrete are connected with the durability of concrete. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on durability testing of FRA concrete in further research.
