Abstract

This study analysed the effect of substituting different percentages of natural aggregate with recycled aggregate from concrete crushing, using a coarse fraction as well as a fine fraction. Natural and recycled materials were classified in order to analyse the mechanical performance and impermeability of these eco-concretes in the fresh state as well as in the hardened state. A statistical analysis also determined whether the performance loss was significant from a statistical point of view, finding strength decreases of less than 13% in compressive strength and losses of less than 20% in flexural strength. An increasing trend was found in permeability as the percentage of recycled aggregate in the mix increased.
