Absorption Variation with Particle Size of Recycled Fine Aggregates Determined by the Electrical Method

The scarcity of fine natural aggregates and the negative environmental impact their extraction make it necessary to find new sources for construction industry. use recycled (RA) derived from waste concrete crushing is a viable option reducing non-renewable raw material consumption. quality these lower than that aggregates. In particular, water absorption (WA) fraction RA topic constant debate due limitations standardized practices determining it. Several methods have previously been proposed concerning this. Among these, electrical conductivity method has highest potential effective WA determination. However, influence particle size shape on measurement remains unknown. this study, applied determine different ranges in both results show paste content main variable influences RA, whereas particles no discernible measurements made using method. present work expands upon previous studies by demonstrating universality irrespective size.
