Progress of Recycling in the Built Environment [electronic resource] : Final report of the RILEM Technical Committee 217-PRE /
Vázquez, Enric.editor.
RILEM Technical Committee 217-PRE.
This report is a useful tool for countries starting to recycle aggregates or construction and demolition waste. It contains the latest developments in this field, introduces a completely new approach to the procedure of proportioning concrete mixtures with recycled aggregate, references recent publications, opinions and discrepancies in relation to the durability of recycled concrete, such as freeze-thaw standards, studies of chloride penetration and diffusion, and sulfate attacks, the use of the fine fraction Description based upon print version of record.
