Abstract

In literature, studies on recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) with recycled aggregates (RAs) originated from clay brick waste are rare, which is mainly attributed to the much lower compressive strength of the RAC with recycled clay brick aggregates (RAC-RCBA) when comparing with its normal aggregate concrete (NAC) counterpart. Nowadays it is well known that fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites as lateral confining materials can improve the strength and ductility of NAC significantly.
