Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) is known to be a hydrophilic material. Anattempt has been made to convert RCA into a hydrophobic material by coatingit separately with oil or wax. Both oil and wax are known to increase thehydrophobicity of soil. Although the soil–water characteristic curve (SWCC) a...
