Abstract
In this work a staged mixing method based on the aggregate water absorption over time was developed. A staged mixing procedure was optimized to regulate the water flow and manufacture concrete, using recycled aggregates, with levels of workability, strength and shrinkage equivalent to those of conventional concrete. The physical, mechanical and geometrical properties of the aggregates were related to the properties of concrete in its fresh and hardened state. Three types of commercial recycled aggregates were evaluated. Two types of natural aggregates were also studied for comparison purposes.
