In this Rapid construction industrial world. Recycling construction material plays an major role to preserve natural resources. In this research Recycled aggregates (RCA) from demolished old concrete specimens are used from local body renovation project by demolishing the major portion of the building up to foundation & Gone by new method of foundation.
This old concrete structure samples are crushed to suitable size by manual method and Re used as a RCA by proposition of mix with natural aggregates to attain the strength for structural members of permanent structures without using any admixtures.
In This Research however shows that the recycled aggregate that are obtained from old make good quality of concrete. The compressive strength of RCA is found equal the normal concrete up to least proposition.
RCA aggregate concrete is close proximity to normal concrete in 20%, 30%, 40% of RCA with mixing of natural aggregate.
