Due to the higher water absorption of RCA, the used RCAs were maintained at saturated surface dry conditions before mixing. The water amount used to presoak the RCA was calculated based on the effective absorption of RCA.

For these specifications where all particles are less than the Nominal Maximum Size, select the smallest sieve that 100 percent of the material will pass through and then select the minimum test sample mass from Table 27 based on this sieve.

Cook (1989) showed that, for compressive strengths in excess of 69 MPa (10,000 psi), smaller sized coarse aggregate produces higher strengths for a given water-to-cement ratio. In fact, it is generally agreed that, although larger coarse aggregates can be used
