Polymeric Actions to Make Recycled Aggregate of Concrete Improved
Abstract: Recycling construction materials of concrete, steel, and steel scraps is an essential technique to promote sustainable material flow. The restricted reuse of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) can be justified, even in part, by the impact on strength and durability of new RCA-based concrete, instead of natural aggregates. Various research has been conducted on improving RCA effectiveness, in particular resistance and water absorption to disintegration. Application of polymer-dependent therapy was used …
