typical absorption of recycled concrete


14.1 Introduction

resulting in lower density and higher water absorption than that of crushed natural aggregates (CNA). Typical oven- dry density values range from 2240 to 2430 Mg/ m 3 for the coarse fraction and 2130 to 2410 Mg/m 3 for the fi ne fraction. The water absorption values range between 4 to 7% for the coarse fraction and 6 to 9% for the fi ne fraction.
