Abstract:The use of construction and demolition (C&D) waste as aggregate in concrete results in a reduction in strength due to its porosity. To compensate, mix designs often require higher cement contents, which increase the material's environmental impact. This study presents an experimental and numerical analysis of the effect of steel fibres on the mechanical properties of the concrete produced with recycled C&D aggregates with varying densities. The variation in fibre content did not present any influence on the co… Show more
