Chemical analysis, Lemna growth inhibition test,...
Abstract High‐performance concrete (HPC) is a cement‐based material with excellent properties and durability which determines high‐level structural utilization. However, the necessity of high‐quality natural resources such as quartz powder sand high amount cement silica fume reinforcement by fibers causes environmental footprint costs. One possible ways to reduce cost HPC/UHPC replace or secondary raw materials. In this study, two types three fractions fine recycled aggregate (fRCA) are used...
Recycling of materials such as masonry or concrete is one the suitable ways to reduce amount disposed construction and demolition waste (CDW). However, environmental safety products containing recycled must be guaranteed. To verify overall benefits concrete, this work considers ecotoxicity well potential impacts their life cycle. Moreover, related with carbonation considered in terms durability influence CO2 uptake. Concrete fine aggregate from two different sources (masonry concrete) were...

The use of recycled aggregate concrete is mainly negatively affected by its poorer mechanical and long-term properties. However, there are few structural applications for which aggregates can be used. In this case study, the possibility as massive external reinforcement wall verified. For application, most important characteristics freeze–thaw resistance, carbonation resistance then properties such compressive strength. Durability materials have been tested improved in study. durability...
The use of recycled masonry aggregate for concrete is mostly limited by the worse properties in comparison with natural aggregate. For these reasons it necessary to find ways improve quality and make more durable. One possibility utilization crystalline admixture which was verified this study laboratory measurements key material durability. positive influence mineral proved freeze-thaw resistance. impact carbonation resistance not unambiguous. In conclusion, evaluation shows how durability...
The main goal and novelty of this study is to show the transferability practices experiences with use reclaimed sand worldwide in case two different regions, Czech Republic India, which necessary for both regions due availability (Czech Republic) illegal mining including criminal offences (India). Due deteriorating environmental impacts associated mining, finding substitution possibilities natural becoming more important worldwide. It realized that reuse construction demolition waste...
This paper presents research results of recycled aggregate concrete testing. The main aim this contribution is the verification physical and mechanical properties durability concretes where natural replaced by masonry originated from construction demolition waste. mixtures contain various amount cement have a different water-cement ratio. influence to freeze-thaw resistance described. compressive strength flexural tensile were tested at age 28 60 days after 25, 50, 75 100 cycles. Cubic...
This study explores the potential of using fine recycled aggregate (FRA) to replace natural sand in concrete production. The research was divided into two parts. In first part, aggregate’s complete fraction (0‑4 mm) replaced with FRA conventional for strength classes. second individual components high-performance (HPC) were substituted a similar HPC and aggregate. physical mechanical properties these mixtures evaluated against reference that contained only aggregate, following European...
This paper deals with the current issue of use waste materials in high-performance concrete.
