Purdue Univeristy recycled concretePurdue civil engineering postdoctoral research associate Jitendra Jain prepares a test specimen at Irving Materials Inc. in Lafayette, Ind. The research aims to perfect the use of recycled concrete in highway construction. Using the recycled concrete could reduce material costs as much as 20 percent, but research is needed to establish standards and determine how to best use the recycled concrete.
