RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS
From the study of test result it was found that 40% of recycled aggregate can be effectively used in
conventional coarse aggregate for making the M20 grade concrete for 0.5 water cement ratio and 20%
replacement is efficient for 0.6 and 0.7 water cement ratio. It is observed that in all the tests, strength of concrete
