This review paper investigates the feasibility and performance of reused tangible aggregates (RCA) as an auxiliary for natural coarse aggregates in high-strength concrete (HSC). The study synthesizes findings from a multitude of research articles, examining the mechanical, durability, and environmental aspects of incorporating reused concrete in HSC. The review begins by providing a comprehensive overview of the properties of reprocessed tangible aggregates, including their composition and potential impurities. Subsequently, it explores the influence of varying percentages of recycled coarse aggregates on the mechanical properties of high-strength concrete, such as compressive asset, flexible strength, and modulus of elasticity. Special emphasis is given to the factors affecting the bond between recycled aggregates and cement matrix. The durability of high-strength tangible containing recycled concrete aggregates is critically evaluated in terms of resistance to abrasion, permeability, and chloride ion penetration. The paper also converses the environmental assistances and contests associated with the use of recycled materials in concrete production, contributing to the broader discourse on sustainable construction practices.
