Abstract

In this study, different nano-particles were used to modify recycled aggregates concrete (RAC) containing recycled clay brick aggregates (RCBAs) to improve the RAC properties. Two stages of experimental works were performed. In the first stage, various nano-particle mixtures produced by different mixing methods, i.e. the use of surfactant and ultrasonication, were examined by optical microscope to evaluate the dispersion of the nano-particles in water liquid.
