Abstract

This chapter intensively studied the strength indexes of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC), which includes the RAC compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, the relationship of the conversion coefficients of RAC mechanical index, and the effects of elevated temperatures on the RAC strengths. The research results in this chapter are very important and useful for comprehensively understanding RAC material’s mechanical properties and their differences with natural aggregate concrete (NAC).
