The aim of this study is to explore the possibility of recycling waste materials of brick aggregates (BA) and demolition concrete aggregates (DCA) in the self-compacting concrete (SCC), by studying these fresh and hardened properties. A reference mixture based on natural aggregates (NASCC) and six mixtures incorporating recycled brick aggregates (BASCC), recycled demolition concrete aggregate (DCASCC) and combination of recycled brick and demolition concrete aggregates (BDASCC), as replacement of natural aggregate...

Microtexture is an important surface characteristic from the pavement skid resistance point of view. Its main role is to secure the basic friction level between tire and road surface by the contribution of the irregularities on the individual aggregate surface. Therefore the methods for its accurate evaluation are necessary. Two different methods for aggregate microtexture quantification and subsequent evaluation are presented in this paper. The first presented microscope method uses three dimensional image analys...
