Reuse of Hydraulic Concrete Waste as a New Material in Construction Procedures: a Sustainable Alternative in Northwest Mexico

Concrete demolition waste can be used as material for manufacturing high quality recycled coarse aggregates, which can replace natural aggregates to make hydraulic concrete mixes. In this study, the behavior of two hydraulic concrete mixes have been analyzed and tested under similar conditions. The...
