- Use of poor-quality recycled aggregate produced from construction and demolition wastes is of vital importance to the sustainable development in construction industry. Most of previous and existing research on recycled concrete has focussed on the use of recycled concrete aggregate, which has much better quality, but represents only a very small portion of the recycled aggregate volume. This paper showed that it is feasible to use mixed recycled aggregate to produce medium strength concrete and the effect of increasing recycled aggregate content on various concrete properties.
