Standardization as a Driving Force of the use of Recycled Coarse Aggregate in Concrete

Abstract:

When recycled aggregates are used appropriately, it is possible to obtain good quality, economic and environmentally friendly building materials. The emergence in recent years of the use of recycled materials in the construction industry, specifically in the production of concrete, has met with varying degrees of success due to the barriers that the market for recycled products has still to overcome. Scientific studies have focused on the good properties presented by the coarse fraction of construction and demolition waste (CDW), leading to the formulation of various international recommendations which, although still insufficient, provide a stimulus to the use of recycled aggregates in concrete.
