Abstract
In order to achieve mechanical qualities of treated coarse recycled aggregate and treated fine recycled aggregate that are equivalent to concrete made with natural coarse and fine aggregates, this research intends to offer a foundation for the use of recycled aggregate (RA) in structural concrete. Natural materialsphysical and mechanical characteristics are investigated and contrasted with RA. To create 19 series of concrete mixes for all three types of treated coarse aggregates, a mix proportion for M20 grade was then computed. The characteristics of RAC were investigated, and the impact of RAC on the slump value of freshly laid concrete was examined. The outcomes showed that abrasion therapy (AT) is the most productive and successful of the three therapies. A stronger splitting and flexural strength is provided by RAC (AT) compared to other types of RAC. For higher grade concrete such as M40, M50, and M70 with varying percentages of coarse and fine recycled aggregates, the hardened characteristics of RAC were also examined.
