Abstract
Recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) can be used as a replacement of natural aggregates for a concrete production to save natural sources and also to decrease amount of demolition waste which has to be landfilled. Precast production generates some percentage of defected elements which are carted off and recycled with other demolition waste. In this study defected elements are separately recycled into RCA with beneficial properties and used directly into new mixtures for precast elements. Results from testing of RCA and application into new concrete mixtures are presented. It was proved that the replacement of raw aggregates by RCA up to 20% has no negative influence on physico-mechanical properties of concrete.
