Behaviour of Reinforced Concrete Beams Made with Recycled and Waste Materials Under Long-Term Loading

Abstract

Concrete is the second most-used material in the world after water and its production places a large strain on natural resources and the environment. This has prompted the search for sustainable alternatives to traditional Portland cement concrete. Among these ’green concretes’, most promising, in the case of Serbia, are recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) and high-volume fly ash concrete (HVFAC)...

Beton je drugi najkoriš´ceniji materijal na svetu nakon vode i njegova proizvodnja je odgovorna za veliku potrošnju prirodnih sirovina i uticaj na životnu sredinu zbog ˇcega su istraživaˇci poˇceli potragu za održivim alternativama konvencionalnim betonima od Portland cementa. Med¯u ovim ’zelenim betonima’, u Srbiji najviše potencijala imaju betoni sa recikliranim agregatom (RAC) i betoni sa velikim sadržajem lete´ceg pepela (HVFAC)...
