Study of concrete with recycled aggregates

20 Nov. 2021

After carrying out, and analyzing, tests on coarse recycled aggregates from construction and demolition waste (RCD) and supplied by dst, which are essential for the course of the experimental campaign, the IST team is currently producing and characterizing concrete. structures with an incorporation of 30% of these same aggregates, thus complying with the stipulated in EN 206.

The experimental campaign thus focuses on analyzing the behavior of structural concrete produced with recycled coarse aggregates from two different sources (Braga and Seixal), replacing natural aggregates, through tests both in the fresh and hardened state, to make the respective characterizations.
