Recycled aggregates (RA) from construction and demolition waste (CDW) instead of natural aggregates (NA) were analysed in the manufacture of new eco-friendly concrete. …

The use of crushed construction and demolition waste as a recycled aggregate in the production of new concrete has been successfully demonstrated by researchers as well as by practitioners in the field. Despite presenting suitable performance, the acceptance and utilization of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) has not become widespread. In

Solid waste produced from construction and demolition activities amount to several million tons globally, and one of the prominent wastes is brick waste. In recent years, there have been increasing number of researches carried out on recycling brick wastes to produce a more eco-friendly concrete. ... Although the use of brick waste as aggregate ...

The process of recycling coarse aggregate from construction and demolition waste involves several stages: acquiring the waste material, transporting it, sorting, crushing, cleaning, and air drying.

The main components of construction solid waste are concrete blocks and brick slag; the breakability of the latter can affect the performance of mixed recycled aggregate, which hinders the use of ...

At present, construction waste recycled aggregates only partially replace natural aggregates to prepare road-based materials. This study addressed this limitation and experimentally investigated the mechanical properties of cement-stabilized macadam base materials utilizing a construction waste recycled aggregate. The feasibility of using these raw …

The need to manage construction and demolition waste (CDW) has led to environmentally-friendly actions that promote the reuse and recycling of this type of waste and other forms of waste valorization. The main priority is to foment sustainable construction work, which has the advantage of avoiding the deposit of large quantities of construction waste at …

Thus, this study on creating sand bricks from construction wastes as a replacement for aggregate is an excellent possibility for utilizing as building and construction material and a workable ...

In this work, CDW was used to produce both fine and coarse aggregated to be used as cement replacements in reinforced concrete beams. CDW used came from a civil construction recycling plant and its composition contains materials from several origins like excavation residues, demolition of simple and reinforced concrete elements, the residue of …

In South Africa, about 21 million tons of CRD waste was generated, and about 90% of them are directed to landfills in 2011 (Bester et al. 2017).

There have been efforts to use building demolition waste as an alternative aggregate in concrete to decrease the use of natural resources for construction. The World Green Building Council estimates that the construction industry is responsible for more than 50% of all material extracted globally and that construction and demolition waste makes up 35% of global …

A review on sustainable use of recycled construction and demolition waste aggregates in pavement base and subbase layers August 2024 Cleaner Materials 13:100266

Waste from building and demolition projects is also used to make recycled aggregate. This kind of recycled aggregate works well in concrete as a dependable …

The construction sector, in addition to being very important for the economy of several countries, also has a significant impact on the environment as it causes a huge natural resources depletion and generates an enormous amount of waste. Therefore, the use of recycled aggregate from construction and demolition waste, instead of conventional aggregates, has a …

This review discusses the generation and recycling of construction and demolition waste (CDW) as well as its main uses as raw materials for the construction engineering sector. This review pays attention to the use of CDW …

A brick aggregate content less than 40% had little effect on the performance of mixed recycled construction-solid-waste aggregate. It is recommended to use a 22 t road roller for five passes (two weak vibrations + two strong vibrations + one weak vibration) at a speed of 3 km/h in the main compaction stage of the subgrade filling.

The use of recycled aggregate from construction and demolition waste as a substitute for aggregate is a current practice in the construction of new road sections.

The use of crushed construction and demolition waste as a recycled aggregate in the production of new concrete has been successfully demonstrated by researchers as well as by …

The application of construction waste as an aggregate in subgrade backfilling is an important recycling option. This study analyzed a subgrade backfill material consisting of lime-fly ash construction waste mixture (LFCWM). Compaction and California bearing ratio (CBR) tests were performed on LFCWM under different cement-aggregate ratios (CARs ...

This means that recycling waste into coarse aggregate would contribute significantly to reduction of the waste. This resulted in studies on SCC with RCA (Recycled Coarse Aggregate) – the combination of Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC) with its ability to self-consolidate ... 6 474.2 t of building waste was accumulated in landfills, ...

This document discusses construction waste recycling. It notes that construction generates a significant amount of waste and that recycling can reduce environmental impacts. ... Use waste which would otherwise be lost to landfill sites. 4. FACTORS THAT ASSESS THE QUALITY OF RECYCLED AGGREGATE • Size distribution:- that recycled aggregates ...

In this paper, a comprehensive literature review was conducted on the utilization of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA), which is the dominant construction and demolition waste material, in base and subbase layers and its comparison with natural aggregate (NA).

Recycled aggregate. Recycled aggregates come from reprocessing inorganic or mineral material that have previously been used in construction. Examples of recycled aggregate include: construction demolition waste (CDW) reclaimed asphalt (otherwise known as RAP) crushed glass; spent railway ballast. What are recycled aggregates?

Concrete wastes can be generated due to demolition of existing structures and testing of concrete samples etc. commonly recycling measures of concrete wastes are used crushed concrete as aggregate.

By recycling concrete waste and transforming it into a valuable resource, the use of crushed concrete contributes to sustainable construction practices. It helps reduce the …

Accordingly, the researchers conclude that concrete, produced by replacing coarse aggregate with plastic waste of up to 15%, can be used in the construction of sidewalks, stairs, interior walls, short walls, storage tanks, non-structural slabs, coating works, etc. Saikia and De Brito (2012) conducted an extensive review of some research related ...

Studies on recycling of construction and demolition waste (CDW) as aggregate have been conducted for a long time. Nowadays, this material is considered as aggregate to produce several types of concrete. To use CDW as aggregate in concrete, it is necessary to process the waste to remove impurities and to comply with size grading requirements.
