In developing countries like China, construction and demolition waste (C&D) reaches 28.75 million tons per year and these figures are likely to double in the next 7 years. On the other hand, re-use of construction waste is important in the context of life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and efficient recycling of construction resources. Using destroyed solid waste as recycled concrete aggregate preserves natural aggregates, minimizes landfill impact, reduces energy consumption and can save money. For this study, demolished blocks of concrete were collected from a 45-year-old building located in Taiyuan, China. In this study, a similar ratio of 0.5 to cement ratio of water and coarse sand was used in concrete mixtures with no additives. The basic concrete properties like, compressive strength, workability, tensile strength, elastic modulus and stress – strain relationship etc. are studied for the RCA with NA. The obtained results are compared with the control case of concrete made from fresh aggregates. Research results suggest that concrete is likely to use recycled aggregates as an alternative to fresh aggregate.
