ABSTRACT
In India very few attempts have been made to use Recycled aggregate on large scale Due to modernization and reconstruction there are large amount of demolition wastes in land fills which is a great threat to environment. Demolished waste with substitution of natural aggregate provides a solution for construction waste generated. This paper presents an experimental investigation to show that the demolition waste can be successfully used as Recycled aggregates provided adequate measures are taken for proper mix design and field control.
OBJECTIVES
Our main objective is to Reduce and Reuse the demolished waste material by replacement of natural aggregate and compare the cost between them.
Economic. The compressive strength high. Higher porosity leads to a higher absorption. Specific gravity is low. The impact value and abrasion losses are more. Slump value of the RAC is low.

SIEVE ANALYSIS
Sieve analysis is conducted to determine the particle size distribution in a sample of aggregate which we call as gradation. Aggregate fraction from 4.75mm to 90 are termed as fine aggregate. In our test we got a Fineness Modulus of 2.30 which is in zone III.

MIX DESIGN
DOE METHOD BIS recommended a set of procedure for design of concrete mix. It is mainly based on the work done in national laboratories. The mix design procedure are in IS 10262-82. We got low slump for RAC. So we could not use the IS code method as it lead to harsh mixes with low slump. Therefore further test were done with Building Research Establishment of Department of Environment (DOE) methods.
MIX DESIGN
DOE METHOD
DOE method was first published in 1975 and then revised in 1988. Building Research Establishment of Department of Environment (DOE) methods. This method was evolved in the U.K. This method is applicable to concrete for most purposes including roads. A ratio of 1:2.12:3.18 was obtained for a W/C ratio of 0.6

ADVANTAGES
Reducing natural aggregate usage. Potentially reducing transport impacts. Conserving landfill capacity. Economic
Applications of RAC
Structural concrete work. Road construction. Concrete pavements, shoulders, median barriers, sidewalks, kerbs and gutters, and bridge foundations. Structural grade concrete. Soil-cement pavement bases. Bituminous concrete. Base or fill for drainage structures.
CONCLUSION
The experimental investigation clearly shows that RAC can be used for structural concrete work. Economy can be achieved about Rs.280/m3 with the use of RAC. Demolition waste possesses relatively low bulk density, higher water absorption and low workability. Water demand is more for RAC. By use DOE method of mix proportioning and suitable Superplasticiser could achieve desired workability.
