Abstract:
Recycled aggregate consists of the original aggregate and cement mortar layer remaining of the old concrete. Physical and mechanical properties of recycled aggregate dependent on the properties, as well as on the quantity of remaining mortar. Removing and strengthening the adhered mortar are the two main methods for improvement the properties of recycled concrete aggregate. This paper reviews the published improvement methods for recycled concrete aggregate, and points out their advantages and disadvantages so as to facilitate the selection and further development of suitable enhancement methods for recycled concrete aggregate.

Key words:
