Fiber-reinforced concrete incorporating recycled concrete fines

Recycling of construction and demolition(C&D) has been one of the paramount topics in the field of exploring new construction material. Applications of recycling these old concrete, mainly the recycled coarse aggregates (RCA), have replaced the aggregates in the production of the concrete and wi...
