Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) is considered as one of the largest wastes in the entire world which is produced by demolishing concrete structures such as buildings, bridges, and dams. It is the intention of scientists and researchers, as well as people in authority, to explore waste material recycling for environmental and economic advantages.

important attribute of the aggregate s. Large aggregates are economically advantageous in Portland cement and asphalt concrete, as they have less surface areaand, therefore, require less binder. However, large aggregate mixes, whether asphalt orPortland cement concrete, are harsher and more difficult to work into place.

The total volume of concrete normally consists 75% to 85% volume of aggregates that makes the cost of concrete relatively low. Aggregates act as structural filler in the concrete. Hence it is very vital to consider the qualities, as well as properties and gradation of aggregates before carry out concrete mix design.

This research aims at evaluating the main risks for the durability of concrete made of industrially produced recycled aggregates called Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC). A characterisation of recycled aggregates is performed and their peculiarities are highlighted. A comparison between the behaviour of RAC and that of ordinary natural aggregate concrete is carried out. The influence of both

In recent decades, a social movement of environmental awareness has The quality of recycled aggregate concrete depends on the properties of the recycled aggregates. However, drawing an analysis from the database (two hundred and 

The manufacture of concrete using a polymer instead of a stony coarse aggregate known as gravel is presented. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is the polymer used, recycling soft drink containers with sufficient tenacity . PET is a material commonly used by engineers as a structural element, not as an aggregate. The research work revealed that PET aggregate produces good quality mixtures with
