Abstract

This study investigated the potential of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) as a sustainable alternative to natural aggregates. This aggregate was treated by coating it with two different polymeric materials: Acrylic and Polyester. This coating process aimed to enhance the properties of the RCA and improve the overall performance of the (A.RCA), and (P.RCA) mix. These coated aggregates were incorpo...
