Abstract The global rise in construction and demolition (C&D) waste generation presents significant challenges and opportunities for sustainable construction practices. This study examines the durability performance of concrete made by replacing 30% of natural coarse aggregates with recycled coarse aggregates derived from C&D waste. The research aims to evaluate the feasibility of using recycled materials in structural applications by conducting a series of durability tests, including assessments of resistance to freeze-thaw cycles, sulfate attack, chloride ion penetration, and carbonation.

Concrete specimens incorporating 30% recycled coarse aggregates were prepared and tested, and their performance was compared to that of conventional concrete. The results indicate that while there is a noticeable impact on certain mechanical and durability properties, the modified concrete exhibited acceptable performance under specific conditions. Strategies for enhancing the durability of recycled aggregate concrete, such as incorporating supplementary cementitious materials, were also investigated. The findings suggest that partial replacement of coarse aggregates with recycled materials can be a viable solution for sustainable construction, provided that appropriate mix design adjustments are made. This research contributes to understanding the long-term behavior of recycled aggregate concrete and provides a basis for developing guidelines for its use in various construction applications.
