Abstract:This study evaluated the use of recycled concrete as coarse aggregate in new concrete pavements.
Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) produced from demolished pavements in three geographically dispersed locations in Washington state were used to perform tests on aggregate characteristics, fresh
concrete properties, and hardened concrete properties. Variables included the source of the RCA, percent
replacement of coarse natural aggregate with RCA (0% to 45%), and percent replacement of portland
cement with type F fly ash (0% or 20%). RCA from all three sources met WSDOT requirements for
aggregates, and all fresh and hardened concrete properties met WSDOT requirements. Replacement of
RCA for natural coarse aggregate by up to 45% by volume had no significant effects on any of the
properties. These results indicate that high-quality RCA can be used as a replacement for a portion of the
coarse natural aggregates in new portland cement concrete pavements in Washington State.
