Best Recycled Concrete Aggregates

Although Recycled Concrete Aggregates (RCA), such as those associated with concrete recycling in Sacramento may contain a variety of impurities, for example; Sulphate, chlorides, organic, carbonates and organic properties among others, derived from the recycling source. However, irrespective of the perceived inferior quality related to RCA, various studies have revealed it can be a reliable substitute for New Concrete Aggregates in the construction industry; especially applicable to non-structural applications. Laboratory cements valuations by Levy and Helene as well as Poon; referenced RCA as potentially suitable for use in new concrete.

When efficiently processed, such as with concrete recycling in Sacramento, Recycled Concrete Aggregates are usable in new concrete designed for, barriers, embankments, curbs, pavements, shoulders ,sidewalks, gutters, and foundations for bridges. In addition, it can be used effectively in concrete of a structural grade, bituminous concrete, as well as soil-cement pavement bases.

Although RCA is obtained from a well-established source of demolished concrete recycling in Sacramento the processed material is required to be subjected to stringent inspection to ensure it meets determined acceptability criteria as stated in relevant specifications for a specific purpose. In general, it is recommended that RCA possesses a total contaminant level, below 1% of the bulk material mass.

Concrete rubble materials derived for instance, from demolished buildings, or demolished infrastructures such as bridges, airport runways and pavements, are the primary sources of Recycled Concrete Aggregates as used by concrete recycling in Sacramento. In addition to the waste materials from demolition projects, excess concrete returned to the ready-mixed and rejected precast concrete elements are also recognized as contributory sources of RCA.

Following testing of concrete instead of disposal in a land-fill, the field-cast concrete specimens can be crushed and reused as RCA from concrete recycling in Sacramento, in a manner that is cost-effective, convenient and environmentally-friendly.
