The use of recycled aggregate concrete can save natural resources and reduce environmental pollution, which has been widely concerned in recent years. physical mechanical properties (RAC) are studied based on the literature waste coarse (RCCA) brick (RBCA) published around world last 40 years, order to understand study performance common RAC. characteristics (water absorption, density, crushing value) two aggregates with same particle size were compared. effects effective water–cement ratio (e–W/C), cement (A/C), content compressive explained, microstructure is explored. influence its elastic modulus (Ec) correlation between Ec strength also investigated. Finally, prospects made for types RAC further research by scholars.
