	  abstract     = {This paper presents results of compressive strength,
capillary water absorption, and density tests conducted on concrete
containing recycled aggregate (RCA) which is obtained from
structural waste generated by the construction industry in Turkey. In
the experiments, 0%, 15%, 30%, 45% and 60% of the normal
(natural) coarse aggregate was replaced by the recycled aggregate.
Maximum aggregate particle sizes were selected as 16 mm, 22,4 mm
and 31,5 mm; and 0,06%, 0,13% and 0,20% of air-entraining agent
(AEA) were used in mixtures. Fly ash and superplasticizer were used
as a mineral and chemical admixture, respectively. The same type
(CEM I 42.5) and constant dosage of cement were used in the study.
Water/cement ratio was kept constant as 0.53 for all mixture. It was
concluded that capillary water absorption, compressive strength, and
density of concrete decreased with increasing RCA ratio. Increasing
in maximum aggregate particle size and amount of AEA also affect
the properties of concrete significantly.},
