Abstract [en]

Concrete waste is underutilized in Sweden, being used for backfilling in road applications and constructing landfills. When it shows the potential for use in load-bearing applications, as an alternative to natural aggregates, to produce circular and climate reduced concrete. This paper explores concrete crushed aggregates (CCA) from reclaimed concrete, produced using industrial crushing methods. The regulatory framework supporting recycling has been discussed. The Swedish concrete standard is less adopting to the use of CCA in new concrete in comparison to other European standards specially regarding the use of fine CCA fractions. Results for CCA water absorption and apparent density from lab scale and industrial crushing are shown. The CCA fulfills claims for aggregates for indoor concrete, with improvements in the crushing process, CA can suit requirements for outdoor concrete.
