- Synopsis
- In October 2014, the Architectural Institute of Japan established and published the Recommendation for Mix Design. Production and Construction Practice of Concrete with Recycled Concrete Aggregate. This Recommendation specifies the inspection methods for the reinforced concrete buildings that are the raw material source for recycled aggregate, the recommended recycled aggregate production methods and quality control methods, the types of recycled concrete aggregate whose use is recommended according to which part of the building and which member, as well as the recommended mix design methods, production methods, transportation methods, construction methods, and quality control methods for concrete with recycled aggregate. Further, the Appendix provides a list of all the recycled aggregates and concretes with recycled aggregate that have earned JIS certifications or ministerial certification thus far, and an overview of typical cases of the application of these aggregates and concretes to buildings.
