The exponential expansion in concrete use has put the environment under immense pressure to supply cement, aggregates, and water. Natural resource consumption impacts undermines industry. A swift shift towards sustainable is required considering emergency triggered by human activity on climate. Glass (GC) sparked curiosity of construction industry owing its environmentally friendly approach. st...

Rapid increase in construction activities leads to active shortage of conventional construction materials due to various regions. Concrete is most widely used construction material. Cement, sand & granite stone are the constituents of the concrete. Researches were researching for cheaper materials that can be used as substitute for these materials. In this context an experimental study was carr...

According to the recent Spanish legislation, the amount of non-hazardous construction and demolition waste (C&D waste) by weight must be reduced by at least 70% by 2020. However, the current behavior of the stakeholders involved in the waste management process make this goal difficult to achieve. In order to boost changes in their strategies, we firstly describe an Environmental Management Syst...

Recycled concrete aggregates (RCAs) have been demonstrated as an alternative source to exhaustible natural aggregates. In this paper, we focus on the enhancement treatments for coarse and fine RCAs effect of these durability recycled (RC) made from treated by weakening strengthening cement paste adhered their surface. We conducted comparative analyses improvement mechanical properties. The resu...
