Recycled concrete can be used in many of the same ways as you would use new materials, such as gravel, paving materials, and aggregates. Permeable paving for walkways, driveways, and other outdoor hard surfaces: Broken concrete that is carefully laid creates a stable, porous traffic surface that rainwater can filter through.

Uses of Recycled Aggregate: – Building the base of a road. The underlying layer forms a structural foundation for paving. – Ready mix concrete. This is a mix of water, sand and cement. It can substitute for the brand-new aggregate. This includes uses for walkways, residential streets and concrete paving. – Stabilizing the soil.

Using recycled pavement as aggregate in new concrete mixes can save money and promote environmental sustainability. New design methods published in a new research report allow engineers to create more durable mixes from recycled aggregate than in the past, reducing the need for aggregate, a diminishing and expensive resource.

throughout the United States is the use of Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) in civil engineering applications. The reuse of concrete in roadway infrastructure dates back to the 1940s; specifically, the first documented use of recycled concrete in a transportation projects in the United States was a section of Route 66 in Illinois.
