Petrographic investigation on recycled coarse aggregate and identification the reason behind the inferior performance

Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) shows more complex behavior in fresh and hardened concrete due to its higher water absorption, weak bonding capacity, poor interfacial transition zones (ITZs) and other uncertainties. The old attached mortar (AM) of RCA is the primary reason behind this. Petrographi...
