Recycled construction aggregates (RCAs) are a great way to reduce your environmental impact and save money on your construction project. However, there are a few mistakes that you should avoid when using RCAs.

Here are 5 mistakes to avoid:

1. Using RCAs without testing: It's important to have RCAs tested to ensure that they are free of contaminants and meet your project's requirements.
2. Using Recycled construction aggregates in high-stress applications: RCAs may not be suitable for use in high-stress applications, such as bridge construction.
3. Not using the right type of RCA for the application: Different types of RCAs have different properties. Make sure you use the right type of RCA for your specific application.
4. Not using RCAs in the correct proportions: RCAs should be used in the correct proportions with other materials. Using too much RCA can weaken the concrete.
5. Not using Recycled construction aggregates properly: RCAs should be handled and placed properly to ensure that they perform as expected.

By avoiding these mistakes, you can ensure that your project is successful and that you are taking advantage of the benefits of using RCAs.
