The study deals with the investigation undertaken to examine the possibility of using recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) as a substitute to natural coarse aggregate (NCA). The concrete specimens were cast by partially replacing cement by fly ash, and NCA was replaced by 30%of RCA. Twenty % replacement of cement by fly ash gave optimum results for compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength.

The concrete specimens were cast by partially replacing cement by fly ash, and NCA was replaced by 30%of RCA. Twenty % replacement of cement by fly ash gave optimum results for compressive strength, split tensile strength and flexural strength.
