Analysis of the performances of concrete components made with recycled aggregates

The paper presents the first phase of a research programme that investigates the utilization of recycled aggregates coming from crushed concrete rubble in the production of precast blocks. In particular, the paper reports the results of the characterization of the aggregates and of the performance evaluation of concrete specimens in which different percentages of recycled aggregates are contained. The testing of the precast blocks will be carried out during the second phase of the study.
