Abstract
In this paper a Fuller and Thompson equation and gradation curves were applied to 100% Recycled Coarse Aggregates (RCA). A total of 300 samples of concrete made up 100% RCA were analysed and tested at 7, 14 and 28 days according to BS EN 12390-3, 2002. The average compressive strengths achieved for the Recycled Aggregates Concrete was approximately 83.0 mPa, the highest ever recorded compressive strength from the concrete manufactured using 100% recycled course aggregates.
