RACBase: A cloud-based database of recycled aggregate

The changeable service environment can induce durability degradation of concrete structures. Compared with natural aggregate, recycled aggregate has a higher porosity and water absorption, and a lower apparent density [4], which leads to the durability of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) being generally lower than that of conventional concrete ...

Sand, rarer than one thinks - UNEP Sioux Falls

The environmental impact of in-stream mining might be avoided if the annual bed load were calculated and the mining of aggregates restricted to that value or less (Ashraf et al., 2011). Local environments should be studied to define the limits of acceptable changes (Cooper et al., 2011; Cooper, 2013).
