Abstract
In the European Union, concrete accounts for 25% of the construction and demolition waste generated each year. At the same time, in many places around Europe the availability of natural rounded aggregates for the production of concrete is becoming a crucial question. These two trends suggest that crushed particles, such as crushed stone aggregates and recycled concrete aggregates (RCA), can be a necessity for concrete production to accommodate resource scarcity. When recycling concrete as aggregates, an important part to investigate is to use the fraction of fine recycled concrete aggregates (FRCA) as it constitutes 40–60% of the crushed concrete.
