Abstract
The usage of recycled aggregate (RA) for concrete works is spreading for gaining wide acceptance around the world, and total amount of RA utilized in concrete industry increases day-by-day. RA is used in many concrete products, such as concrete interlocking blocks, pavements, etc. One of the physical causes of concrete deterioration is surface wear or loss of mass for concrete products which are especially exposed to vehicular traffic (i.e., industrial floors and pavements). Besides, the loss of mass by concrete surface wear becomes the primary factor of one or more processes of chemical deterioration as a result of an increase in permeability due to mass loss of the concrete surface wear. The main goal of this research is to investigate the abrasion behavior of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) with/without silica fume (SF) related with the mechanical and the physical properties of RAC. In this research, lower quality RA (
