Overview
- Discusses systematically the characteristics of recycled aggregate obtained from different sources of construction waste
- Clarifies how recycled aggregate differs from natural aggregate
- Highlights the microstructure of recycled aggregate concrete
- Helps readers gain a better understanding of the behaviour of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) under hardened state
- Explains the behaviour of RAC under impact load with colour pictures to enhance the readability
- Includes quality-improvement techniques for recycled aggregates to enable researchers to further enhance the quality of RAC
