Original Abstract

The use of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) is one way to reduce the depletion of raw materials for the production of concrete. In this article RCA was tested and evaluated. Concrete with 25 to 80 % of RCA was examined in terms of its durability performance, particularly capillary absorption and shrinkage. Capillary absorption testing showed that RCA has better or identical results as the reference mixture. Concrete with a high proportion of RCA had reduced durability, even with reduced durability the concrete maintains all the requirements of the Norwegian Standard. RCA as partial replacement in smaller quantities show good properties
