Abstract
The need to reuse construction and demolition waste is acknowledged by all in the industry and its use as recycled aggregate in the manufacture of concrete has been widely studied. Before being able to use this type of concrete expansively, it is essential to verify the influence that the treatments will have after installation on the properties of the material once hardened. This chapter summarizes the degree of influence of the different curing conditions on the properties of the recycled concrete. In view of the results analyzed, it is deduced that special attention should be paid in cases where recycled concrete is dosed with low effective water/cement ratios and with geometries of high area/volume ratios, and when cured in curing conditions that involve high temperatures, low humidity, and high winds.
