Mechanical Properties of Concrete with Silica Fume and Coarse Recycled Aggregate Concrete

Recently, there has been an increasing trend toward the use of sustainable materials. Sustainability helps the environment by reducing the consumption of non-renewable natural resources. Concrete – the second most consumed material in the world after water – uses a significant amount of non-renewabl...

Concrete – the second most consumed material in the world after water – uses a significant amount of non-renewable resources.
