Abstract

The work is an attempt to summarize the experience concerning the diagnosis of the practical properties of recycled aggregate concrete cement (RCA). It describes the phenomenon of self-cementing properties which was investigated in both the laboratory and on field tests including compressive strength of RCA, non-conventional oedometric tests of RCA and plate bearing tests on the surface of RCA layer. The described self-cementing properties were remarked, however, the RCA material was characterized by smaller increase in the value of parameter EV2 in a 2-year period of time than recycled concrete materials described in the available literature.
