ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to investigate the potential use of coarse recycled concrete aggregate
(RCA) as a material in structural concrete.The lack of knowledge and specifications surrounding RCA in South
Africa were the main reasons for this research. The reduction of accumulating construction and demolition
(C&D) waste at landfills and mining of depleting virgin materials are subsequent aims from this investigation.
