Opis

Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC), one of the latest innovations in sustainable construction technology, generates tremendous interest amongst the researchers, engineers and concrete technologists. This book offers the construction industry professional an in-depth description of the use of RAC in pavement construction and rapid repair. Engineering application and life-cycle cost assessment of RAC pavement was also presented. It is concluded that incorporation of fly ash and admixture improves the quality of RAC and enhances its performance in terms of setting time, strength and long term durability, which is suitable for road rehabilitation engineering.
