COMPRESSIVE STRENGTH OF CONCRETE USING RECYCLED AGGREGATES, WITH AND WITHOUT FLY ASH, COMPARED TO CONVENTIONAL CONCRETE

Abstract

This article presents the results of research evaluating the compressive strength of concrete using recycled coarse aggregate, in the case of using fly ash (CP1) and without using fly ash at a content of 5% (CP2). The experimental samples were compressed to test the compressive strength value at different times, including 7 days old, 14 days old and 28 days old. The study designed a recycled concrete composition with a 50-50 ratio of regular aggregate and recycled coarse aggregate, and the concrete has a design compressive strength of 15 Mpa. The compressive strength of concrete was studied and compared in cases with and without fly ash, and compared with another research result on concrete using recycled coarse aggregate.
