Material and structural performance evaluation of recycled pet fiber reinforced concrete
TL;DR: In this paper, a method to recycle wasted PET bottles is presented, in which short fibers made from recycled PET are used within structural concrete, and the results show that compressive strength and elastic modulus both decreased as fiber volume fraction increased.

Porosity of recycled concrete with substitution of recycled concrete aggregate: An experimental study
TL;DR: In this paper, the experimental analysis of samples of recycled concrete (RC) with replacement of natural aggregate (NA) by recycled aggregate originating from concrete (RCA) is presented, and the results of the tests of mechanical properties of RC were used for comparison with tests of mercury intrusion porosimetry.

Recycled aggregates and recycled aggregate concrete second state-of-the-art report developments 1945–1985
TL;DR: The extensive but fragmented research on recycled concrete aggregates and recycled aggregate concrete, which has been carried out in various parts of the world from 1945 to 1985, has been collated to form a comprehensive state-of-the-art document as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Strengths of recycled aggregate concrete made using field-demolished concrete as aggregate
TL;DR: In this paper, the compressive, splitting tensile, and flexural strengths of recycled coarse aggregate concrete and to compare them with those of concrete made using natural crushed stone were compared. And the final conclusion is that through proper measures high-quality concrete materials can be produced using recycled concrete aggregate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Utilization of flyash as filler for unsaturated polyester resin
TL;DR: Flyash-filled unsaturated polyester resin (FPR) was found to have poor acid and solvent (benzene) resistances and good saltwater, alkali, weathering, and freeze–thaw resistances as seen from the mechanical properties and the possible ways of improving the strength of FPR are discussed.

Recycled Concrete—A Source for New Aggregate
Rasheeduzzafar,A Khan +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the strength, failure mechanism, and durability characteristics of the recycled aggregate in comparison with the conventional concrete and found that for a W/C ratio of 0.35, the aggregate concrete has 30% lower strength than conventional concrete.
