Clearance of huge amount of construction debris and the related issues to the environment are to be resolved and the problems concerning deficiency of natural aggregates also need to be addressed. Preparation of design guidelines and providing suitable endorsements for accepting concrete from reclaimed aggregates will benefit stakeholders like the designers, builders, clients, professional bodies of civil engineering, contractors, and the other consumers for getting consciousness about the effective application of Construction and Demolition (C & D) wastes for practical implementation for real time projects. That requires the complete understanding of the properties of aggregates recycled from C & D wastes, their influences on the properties of concrete including their merits and demerits, challenges in their applications and the research directions that are required for the practical applicability of these aggregates in construction. Hence, an effort has been made to explore the preceding investigates of Recycled Concrete (RC) primarily concentrating on the effect of few influential parameters like quality and quantity of aggregates, water-cement ratio, supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs) and treatment of aggregates.
