Thermal Properties of Concrete with Recycled Aggregate

Article Preview

Abstract:

Currently, the emphasis is put on sustainable buildings; simultaneously, the emphasis is put on energy efficiency in buildings, with respect to this fact of necessity to test thermal properties of new building materials. This article deals with the thermal properties of concrete containing recycled concrete aggregate. Four types of recycled concrete aggregate were used for the production of the concrete. For the testing of concrete, a total of ten concrete mixtures were made, one of which was a reference mixture and the natural aggregate was replaced by recycled aggregate of varying ratio in the other mixtures. Finally, it is possible to say that according to the thermal properties of the recycled aggregate concrete is possible to be used in the same applications as conventional concrete.
