ABSTRACT

Two literature searches were carried out in June 1987 in order to check whether the author of this state-of-the-art report had missed any major publications in the field. One search was carried out on a data base in the English language (COMPENDEX) and the other on a data base in the French language (PASCAL). Neither of the two searches gave satisfactory results. Keywords used in the two data bases were CONCRETE, RECYCLING and REUSE for COMPENDEX, and BETON RECYCLAGE for PASCAL. Neither of the two data bases covered the recycling of concrete in a comprehensive manner, and very little new literature was found, which had not previously been known to the author.
