Abstract
This paper presents the results of studies on crushing phenomena during the Proctor compaction test on Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA). Increase in demand for materials in road construction industry creates the need for new materials which can replace natural aggregates (NA). Moreover, it should be noted that NA are a non-renewable resource in opposite to, for example RCA which could be recycled and become a part of road construction. There are many material properties, which need to be clarified and crushing phenomenon is one of them. The following article analyses the issue of crushing. Selected blends which differs by gradation curves were tested. Tests have been made according to Proctor’s method in various moisture conditions. The paper ends with final remarks for practical application of the RCA.
