Popis: This paper aims to investigate some properties of recycled aggregates concrete (RAC) containing various amount of recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) supplied from different parent concrete strength. Three concretes with different strengths were made. After hardening, they were crushed and the obtained RCA were used to substitute 20%, 40% and 60% of coarse ordinary aggregates (COA) in concrete mix. The properties of these RCA according to their parent concrete strength were analyzed and their effects on the workability, compressive strength and shrinkage were quantified. Concrete workability and final shrinkage seem to be related to the equivalent water absorption of coarse recycled aggregates. An equivalent granular expression can be used in classical model to predict compressive strength according to the RCA content and its parent concrete strength.
