Abstract:The utilization of recycled aggregates and various industrial by-products is considered a sustainable strategy in the concrete industry. In this study, the effect of the maximum size of recycled coarse aggregate and the cementitious binder content on fresh and hardened properties of self-compacting concrete was investigated. Self-compacting concretes with maximum aggregate sizes of 9.5 mm, 12.5 mm, and 19 mm were prepared at water-to-binder ratios of 0.39, 0.42, and 0.45, respectively. For all mixtures, 100% r… Show more
