The use of RCA instead of NA in new concrete is severely hindered, however, by a lack of technical information on the long-term durability of this concrete. The research presented focused on assessing the reactivity of RCA produced from parent concrete previously affected by alkali-silica reaction (ASR) when incorporated into new concrete using current testing methods; as well as the efficacy of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) already known to mitigate ASR in concrete with reactive NA to control ASR in concrete incorporating reactive RCA.
