This book presents the work of the RILEM Technical Committee 273-RAC on Structural Behaviour and Innovation of Recycled Aggregate Concrete. It provides the guidelines on the changes in the properties of recycled aggregates and how the different countries manage the use of recycled aggregates in construction work. As such, it helps researchers understand some new technologies to improve the qualities of RAC and the enhancement of RAC. Various mixing approaches adopted by the mixing approach, mixture proportioning for RAC using Compressible Packing Model, Particle Packing Method of mix proportioning for RAC and a rational mix design method for RAC are proposed. Further evaluation of the stress-strain relationship and bond behavior of RAC is explored in these guidelines.

The current volume focuses on "Material Properties".

This book describes how, given the global challenge of a shortage of natural resources in the 21st century, the recycling of waste concrete is one of the most important means of implementing sustainable construction development strategies.

Firstly, the book presents key findings on the micro- and meso-structure of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC), while the second part focuses on the mechanical properties of RAC: the strength, elastic modulus, Poisson’s ratio, stress-strain curve, etc. The third part of the book explores research on the durability of RAC: carbonization, chloride penetration, shrinkage and creep. It then presents key information on the mechanical behavior and seismic performance of RAC elements and structures: beams, columns, slabs, beam-column joints, and frames. Lastly, the book puts forward design guidelines for recycled aggregate concrete structures.

Taken as a whole, the research results – based on a series of investigations the author has condu
