Regulations in the field of recycled aggregate

Abstract

In the last few years there has been a significant progress in the adoption of technical regulations regarding recycled aggregate, which affects the facilitation and stimulation of its practical application. However, the new European regulations are still incomplete, and beside that, it is evident there is no harmonization between national standards and recommendations of individual countries. Given the lack of relevant technical regulations in our country, it is very important to know the foreign regulations, recommendations and experiences with regard to the application of recycled aggregate, which is presented in this work. Special attention is given to the design of structural concrete made with recycled aggregates, obtained by processing waste concrete.
