Properties of self-compacting high-strength concrete containing multiple use of recycled aggregate

open access: yesJournal of King Saud University: Engineering Sciences, 2020
Advances in recycling can exceed traditional practice in that a non-renewable resource can at least become a partially renewable resource. This research attempts to support the cradle-to-cradle concept by testing the effect of reused recycled concrete ...
