• Abstract:
  This study examined current national and international practices regarding the use of recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) as engineering materials by the transportation industry as well as a history of Michigan's experience with RCA. In the laboratory investigation, this study performed aggregate characterization and comparison to high-quality virgin aggregate materials in addition to porosity analysis of RCA. The use of RCA in concrete was evaluated through characterization of standard properties, ASR potential, and volumetric stability. Assessment of leachates occuring in the base material when using RCA was also conducted in comparison to blast furnace slag, limestone, and natural gravel.
