Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC) is concrete that us ing Recycled Aggregate (RA) as par t ial ly or
fully replacement in coarse and fine aggregate. I t is believed RA have been used from 1945 in
concrete producing and started when World War II damaged a large quantity of concrete structures
and the high demand of aggregate to rebui ld the s t ructures (Kheder and Al-Windawi, 2005) . They
recognised the factors l ike depletion of natural aggregates, t ightly environmental law and waste
disposal problems which inf luenced the appl icat ion of RA.
RA ha d such a pos sible ap plication in certain area and M aso od et. al . (2002 ) have
summarised i t . They have conducted some exper imental inves t igat ions and found that RA had a
potent ial funct ioning as aggregate that can be appl ied in concrete roads , drainage work, shal low
storage tanks , culver ts and sewa ge or t reatment plants .
Recently Malaysia is not yet practising RA in i ts construction industry. No depletion of
natural aggregate sources are the main factor why RA is not been using. But according to Masood et.
al . (2002), Asia country should think seriously about the application of RA due to the increasing of
discharge concrete for each year . Hong Kong, Japan and China have become pioneer count ies in
Asia which are act ively conducted s tudy on RA appl icat ion in cons truct ion indus try. They can be
seen in some research by Poon and Chan, (2006), Eguchi et . al . , (2006) and Huang et. al . ,(2002).
Poon and Chan, (2006) has reported the application of 14,300 m

cons truct ion. Meanwhile in Taiwan, the Construct ion and Demoli t ion (C & D) waste is handl ing
proper ly s ince 1999 (Huang et . a l , 2002) and Japan have commit ted in appl icat ion of RA by
publ ishing 'Standard for Usage of Concrete wi th Recycled Aggregate ' in 1996 (Eguchi et . a l . , 2006) .
Uni ted Kingdom is one good example of wes tern countr ies which pract is ing RA in i t s
cons truct ion indus try. In DOE 1996, the '1995 UK Government White Paper Making Waste Work '
had targets to increase the using of waste and recycled materials as aggregates to 30 million tonnes
per year by 2006. In UK, Construct ion and Demoli t ion (C&D) waste has been ident i f ied were had
value in engineering materials for construction industry (Lawson et. al . , 2001). Lawson et. al . (2001)
also reported that 51.1% or 27.4 million tonnes of (C& D) waste were disposed directly to landfil l ,

39.6 % or 21.2 mil l ion tonnes were except ing f rom l icensed disposal and were pr imar i ly used for
land modelling during the construction projects and 9.2 % or 5 million tonnes were either crushed to
produce a graded product or di rect ly recovered. Recycl ing and reuse (C&D) waste and produced as
RA is expected to improve on supplying of construction material and also can solve the disposal of
waste construction material (Masood et. al . , 2001).
RAC has at t racted many researchers to s tudy i ts performance. Previous researchers have
conducted s tudy on appl icat ion of RA and found that RAC have lower compress ive s t rength
compared to Natural Aggregate Concrete (NAC), ( Ismai l , Suraya and Mia, 2007) . Table 1.0 shows
the resul ts of previous s tudies which were us ing RA as replacement coarse aggregate in concrete
mixes at di f ferent water-ce me nt rat io .

From Table 1.0. , can be seen in Topcu and Sengel (2004) and Kou, Poon and Chan (2007) s tudy,
that compress ive s t rength of RAC is lowered when replacement of RA as coarse aggregate in
concrete mix is increased. According to Olorunsogo (1999) , the factors l ike RA had smoother
surface and rounder com pared to NA which lead to this mat ter . Otherw ise, Otsuki et . a l . (2003) and
Tam et . a l . (2005) had proposed modif ied mixing procedure to enhance compress ive s t rength of
RAC.
Different sources of RA also played an impor tant role in determining compress ive s t rength of
RAC. Although those concrete had same w/c rat io , but i t ' s compress ive s t rength seemed qui te
dif ferent to each other . For examp le, in Rahal K. (2007 ) and T.Y T.Y . Tu, Y.Y.Chen and
C.L.Hwang (2005) s tudy, al though their w/c rat io for concrete mixture is 0 .4 and used RA at 100%
replacemen t , but they obtained a di f feren t resul t in com press ive s t rength which is 46.5 and 28 M Pa.
Cements content in the mixture also be a factor which lead to this different result .

In T.Y. Tu, Y.Y.Chen and C.L.Hwang (2005) s tudy also, i t found that water content in
concrete mix es mu st be suff icient when RA is used in concrete mixe s . This can be viewed in thei r
s tudy which R A C with same w/c rat io but had a di f ferent wate r content that 150, 160 and 170 kg/m
3
.
Supposedly, lower water content wi l l lead to greater compress ive s t rength, but in this s tudy, RAC
with water content 160 kg/m
3
obtained higher compress ive s t rength than that of 150 and 170 kg/m
3
.
Al though they fou nd a di f ferent resul t f rom expec ted, they have conclud ed that RA need suff icient
water to ful f i l the abso rpt ion capaci ty nee ds . Strength wi l l decrease w hen w ater content i s
insuff icient and poor hydrat ion process occurred. But excess ive amount of pas te also leading to
weak inter face-zone and low dens i ty concrete wi l l deal to poor compress ive s t rength.
In H.J . Chen, T.Y. and K.H. Chen (2003) s tudy, washed RA is used as coarse aggregate.
They found that washed RA comprised higher s t rength than that of unwashed RA. Greater bond
effects were produ ced whe n im pur i t ies , powde r and harmfu l mater ials on aggregate surface in RA
are washed away. They also identif ied that at low w/c ratio, the compressive strength ratio of
recycled concretes to normal concretes are decreased. Main factor which lead to this result is
strength of the paste is increase at low w/c ratio. Based on composite material theory, they revealed
that RA wil l become a weak mater ial and i ts bear ing capaci ty become smal ler which inf luenced to
decrease in strength.
General conclus ion is made based f rom this table that compress ive s t rength of RAC is lower
than that of NAC. It is also showed that when w/c ratio of concrete mix is lower, compressive
s t rength for RA C a nd NA C is higher . Acco rdingly, this paper wi l l s tudy the ef fect of var ious
replaceme nt of RA on i ts compre ss ive s t rength for di f feren t wa ter-cem ent rat io .

conducted by fol lowing BS 1881: Par t 108:1983 and three cubes of 100mm x 100mm x 100mm
were tested at 7, 14 and 28 days.

3 1 Slum p Test Result
The slump results are presented in Table 3.1. I t can be observed in Figure 3.1 that concrete mixes at
0.4 had a lower s lump compared to 0.5 and 0.6 concrete mixes . On the other hand, when
replacement of RA is increased in concrete mixes , the s lump of concrete mixes is decreased. I t was
expected because recycled aggregate is high in water absorpt ion. Poon C.S. et . a l . (2006) revealed
that mortar over RA is lead to low s lump of RAC.

3 2 Com pressive Test
The compress ive s t rength resul ts are presented in Table 3.2. Each presented value is the average of
three measurements . I t i s shown in Fig. 3 .2.1 that compress ive s t rength of RAC is lowered compared
to Natural Aggregate Concrete (NAC). For w/c rat io 0.4 and 0.5, the concrete mixtures prepared
with 25, 50, 75 and 100 % replacement of RA had a decrease of 21.9, 23.7, 43.3, 32.7 % and 13.2,
7.7, 19.1,13.2 % in the compress ive s t rength at 28-day com pared to N AC . Then , the concrete
mixtures wi th w/c rat io 0.6 that prepared with 25, 50, 75 and 100% replacement of RA had a
decrease of 11.85, 17.1, 31.3, 22.3 % in compressive strength than that of NAC. In these figure, i t
a lso found that RA 10 0 obtained higher compress ive s t rength than that of RA 075. Norm al ly as RA
replacement increased, compress ive s t rength wi l l decrease (Topcu and Sengel (2004) and Kou, Poon
and Chan (2007)) . The higher compress ive s t rength may be at t r ibuted to the greater bonding force
and s t rength when same type of aggregates was used. Otherwise, RAC s t i l l obtained lower
compress ive s t rength compared to NAC.

The fol lowing conc lus ions have been made based on the resul ts of this s tudy:
1. With the same w/c ra t io , the s lump va lue decreases i f percentage of RA is increased.
2. The compress ive s t rength of Recyc led Aggrega te Concre te was lower than tha t of Natura l
Aggre ga te Conc re te .
3 . Lower wate r-cement ra t io of Recyc led Aggrega te Concre te lead to higher in compress ive s t rength.
RAC could increase i ts compress ive s t rength by reduc ing the wate r-cement ra t io of concre te .
4 . The re la t ionship of w/c ra t io and compress ive s t rength of RAC is inverse ly propor t iona l .
