Recycled demolished concrete (DC) as recycled aggregate (RA) and recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) is generally suitable for most construction applications. Low-grade applications, including sub-base and roadwork, have been implemented in many countries; however, higher-grade activities are rarely considered. This paper examines relationships among DC characteristics, properties of their RA and...

The prime aim of this study was to investigate the thermal conductivity of concrete using crushed recycled glass as a fine aggregate. Influencing factors on thermal conductivity of concrete are investigated using The Unitherm Model 6000 Guarded Hot Plate Thermal Conductivity Instrument. A total of 36 concrete mixes were produced with different water cement ratios (0.4 and 0.5). Recycled glass w...

-Utilization of construction debris as recycled aggregates in the production of concrete is gaining momentum nowadays due to the availability of large quantity of demolition waste. The recycled brick aggregate (RBA) concrete is made used for the production of low grade recycled aggregate suitable for concrete production. The risk of concrete structures exposed to fire is also on the increase du...

A comparative analysis of the experimental results of the properties of fresh and hardened concrete with different replacement ratios of natural with recycled coarse aggregate is presented in the paper. Recycled aggregate was made by crushing the waste concrete of laboratory test cubes and precast concrete columns. Three types of concrete mixtures were tested: concrete made entirely with natura...

In this study, waste tire powder and waste liquid crystal display (LCD) glass sand are used as recycled materials. With a fixed water to binder ratio (W/B = 0.4), the use of fly ash and slag as cementreplacement materials. waste tire powder and waste LCD glass sand, which passed the sieve screen size # 30(0.595 mm), were used to replace fine aggregates at 0%, 5% and 10% in producing lightweight...

introduction: this study was performed to determine the shear bond strength of rebonded mechanically retentive ceramic brackets after recycling with erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (er:yag) laser or sandblasting. methods: twenty-eight debonded ceramic brackets plus 14 intact new ceramic brackets were used in this study. debonded brackets were randomly divided into 2 groups of 14. one group...

The possibility of using fine recycled concrete aggregate as a substitute for natural sand are relatively limited. In order to promote it for engineering application, this paper reports the effect of elevated temperatures from room temperature to 600C on the compressive behavior of mortars containing recycled fine concrete aggregate was investigated. It is found that no obvious relation between...

Self-compacting concrete (SCC) has many properties comparing to conventional and represents a good choice towards sustainability. The use of different recycled materials contributes seize the negative impact huge amount waste on ecosystem. In this study, locally available have been used as partially cement replacements. Such including ceramic powder (CWP) glass (GP) in addition fly ash with tot...
