| | Summary: |
| | Recycled aggregate consists of the original aggregate and cement mortar
layer remaining of the old concrete. Physical and mechanical properties of recycled
aggregate dependent on the properties, as well as on the quantity of remaining mortar.
Removing and strengthening the adhered mortar are the two main methods for
improvement the properties of recycled concrete aggregate. This paper reviews the
