The influence of the use of recycled aggregates on the compressive strength of concrete: a review

This paper provides a systematic review of 119 publications, selected from 235, published over a period of 36 years from 1978 to 2014, relating to the effect on concrete compressive strength of the various aspects related to the use of recycled aggregates (RA) such as replacement level, size, origin, moisture content, exposure of the resulting concrete to different environmental conditions, use of chemical admixtures and additions, and strength development over time. The data were collectively subjected to a statistical analysis, the results of which allowed producing a model for predicting concrete strength, based on the quality and content of the RA.
