Performance of Recycled Aggregate Concrete in Bangladesh Context: A Review

Raisul Islam Shuvo, Razesh Kanti Sarkar, Md. Mehrab Mostak, Dr Sharmin Reza Chowdhury

Abstract


Bangladesh is experiencing faster urbanization. Multi-storied building technology has become popular in urban areas due to fulfill urban housing demand in Bangladesh. The Government, manufacturers and stakeholders should explore proper approaches to reuse the building /construction wastes without aggravation to climate. The main objective of this study is to review the physical and mechanical properties of recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) and to compare these properties with that of natural aggregates. This review also focuses on the influence of RCA on Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC). It is found from this review study that RCA can be used in non structural member efficiently by replacing 25 to 30% natural course aggregate. For using RAC in structural member, still some improvements of flexural properties of RCA are required. It is also shown that recovery of construction and demolition waste is higher in developed countries.
