THE IMPACT OF RECYCLED FINE AGGREGATE ON SELECTED PROPERTIES OF CONCRETE

The use of recycled fine aggregate in the production of concrete mixes is one of the elements of a circular economy. However, it is important to ensure that such a modification does not significantly affect the durability of the produced concrete elements. One possible criterion to check whether this condition is met is the practical application of the concept of equivalent concrete properties. The presented studies analyzed the properties of concrete with multi-component cement CEM V/A (S-V) and with recycled fine aggregate. The conducted analyses of the research results showed that with a 15% replacement level of natural sand with recycled sand, it is possible to maintain durability characteristics compared to concrete using only natural sand.
