Abstract

Recently, many structures which were built about 30 years ago are watched by reconstruction. Demolished concrete is occurred in the process and these quantity increase about 10% more than the preceding year. Although the government have promoted to use recycled coarse aggregate, many registered architects have not use it, because natural aggregate is still cheaper than recycled coarse aggregate's price and they have question about quality of recycled coarse aggregate. In addition, there are no grounds to rely upon compressive strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity method of recycled coarse aggregate when it is used to high strength concrete. In this paper, bases will be adduced to verify applicative possibility of estimation of compressive strength of high-strength concrete with recycled aggregate using ultrasonic pulse velocity method. For this, compressive strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity method tests of 240 high strength concrete specimens with recycled coarse aggregate were performed, and the high strength concrete specimens were tested within the limits such as compressive strength and ultrasonic pulse velocity
