Compressive Mechanical Properties of a Novel Recycled Aggregate Concrete with Recycled Lightweight Aggregate

A novel recycled aggregate concrete was prepared by replacing the natural aggregate with recycled lightweight aggregate. Subsequently, the mechanical properties and compressive stress-strain constitutive relation of the recycled lightweight aggregate concrete (RLWAC) were explored. For this purpose,...
