Effects of Recycled Aggregate on Concrete Mix and Exposure to Chloride by Ammar Ben Nakhi, Jasem M. Alhumoud

“…Concrete made with different percentages of recycled aggregate (0%–100%, with increments of 10%) is investigated using mechanical and nondestructive testing of mixes consisting of two aggregate particle sizes (1/2″ and 3/8″). In addition, we studied the chloride diffusion of saturated concrete made with different percentages of recycled aggregate. …”
