Crushed concrete has been used as aggregate for a variety of purposes. In general, its properties are comparable, but somewhat lower than average rock aggregate, and it has been used mostly in lower end applications such as base course, base and subbase:
| Applications: | Dense graded base under
portland cement concrete pavements |
|
| Dense graded base under
asphaltic concrete pavements |
||
| Dense graded base under
portland cement concrete slabs |
||
| General fill |
||
| Surfacing for unpaved driveways, roads and parking lots |
Recycling concrete from demolition project can result in considerable savings since it saves the costs of transporting concrete to the landfill (as much as $ .25 per ton/mile), and eliminates the cost of disposal (as high as $100 per ton).
