Abstract
The availability and applicability of recycled aggregate as aggregate resources have already proved by many researchers. The other hand, practical application of recycled aggregate concrete containing this type of aggregate for structual concrete has never adopted in Japan. To promote practical application of recycled aggregate concrete, there are many points that must be solved concerning the correlation between qualities of recycled aggregate and properties of recycled aggregate concrete. From this point of view, 35 types of recycled aggregate concrete produced from seven types of recycled aggregates, and properties of this type of concrete, such as fresh concrete, unit weight of dry condition, strength, drying shrinkage, neutralization, freezing and thawing, and so on, were examined. The correlation between qualities of recycled aggregate and properties of recycled aggregate concrete were clarified through these test results.
