Abstract: Reusing concrete is the best choice to diminish the eagerness on mind blowing standard assets and to oblige the total of waste which is engineered in landfills. Reused concrete has been regularly used as an unbound material as a touch of dams, bases, and sub-bases. RAC has in like way been utilized as a piece of the improvement of asphalts and wastes yet in less case as the examination in this field is not the most outrageous utmost of RAC has not yet been investigated. In this investigation the reused total was utilized as supplanting with 20%, 40%, 60% and 80% by substitution of typical aggregate. Standard Ordinary Portland cement was supplanted with 10% of mineral admixture silica fume. Tests were coordinated to choose the mechanical properties and durability properties such us rapid chloride penetrability test and water sorptivity test. The results show that increasing the recycle aggregate percentage above 40% with natural aggregate, small modifications to the mix design may be adopted to secure that comparable property to natural aggregate concrete is attained.
