Abstract

The Schmidt hammer and Ultrasonic pulse velocity are the main importance to testing hardened concrete structures after the concrete has gain the strengths, which checking is necessary weather the concrete structure is suitable for designed use. Broken concrete and re-sized output are called recycled aggregate concrete cluster (RACC) owing to mix of mortar and aggregate. Lack of information on recycling and reuse of recycled aggregate concrete cluster combined with construction demolition waste. Thus, the main aim of this research was to study the effect of replacement of virgin aggregate (VA) by possible extent inclusion of recycled aggregate concrete cluster with C-30 grade concrete mix design having water to cement ratio 0.435 and slump of 25~100mm at replacement levels of 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50% virgin aggregate by recycled aggregate concrete cluster. Finally, comparison of properties between virgin aggregate and recycled aggregate concrete cluster was recognized to verify the suitability of recycled aggregate concrete cluster to replace virgin aggregate. The results shows that almost at par, else proximate engineering parameter values of recycled aggregate concrete cluster with Virgin aggregate offered momentum for twenty percent objective scope. It is suggested that recycled aggregate concrete cluster recycling needs policy makers’ attention.
