Performance estimation for concretes made with recycled aggregates of construction and demolition waste of some Brazilian cities

The aim of this paper is to verify the influence of composition variability of recycled aggregates (RA) of construction and demolition wastes (CDW) on the performance of concretes.Performance was evaluated building mathematical models for compressive strength, modulus of elasticity and drying shrinkage.To obtain such models, an experimental program
