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...

re area. In order to reduce the usage 99), Stone says that the 10mm recycled aggregate and blended stated that the use of recycled aggregate for the construction and rehabilitation of local government roads has a great improve in the last five years. C & D Recycling Industry (n.d.), the fact file stated that from the time of the Romans, the stones from the previous roads were reused when rebuil...

In this work, it is described an experimental analysis of specimens of recycled concrete (RC) with replacement of natural aggregate with recycled aggregate originating from concrete (RCA). An experimental analysis to obtain the shrinkage and creep properties (basic and by drying) of RC was carried out. The replacement fraction of natural aggregate with RCA were 0%, 15%, 30%, 60% and 100% and th...

Owing to the comprehensive building redevelopment programmes in Hong Kong, there is a huge volume of concrete waste generated that will soon exhaust all the available landfill areas. As such, recycled aggregate is advocated. However, the use of recycled aggregate has been confined to lower-grade applications until now, such as the lower layers of a pavement structures, e.g. capping and sub-base...

Construction and demolition waste (CDW) constitutes an increasingly significant problem in society due to the volume generated, rendering sustainable management and disposal problematic. The aim of this study is to identify a possible reuse option in the concrete manufacturing for recycled aggregates with a significant ceramic content: mixed recycled aggregates (MixRA) and ceramic recycled aggr...

The present study examines the new generation of concrete. Concrete has long been a major problem, is its ductility. Traditionally, remembering the words of concrete, compressive strength also comes to mind. Compressive strength is not only parameter of necessary and sufficient for a material. Concrete is basically brittle material. By adding the steel in this material is an attempt to ductile ...

With many years of construction and application of common concrete, researchers have always been searching for a better composition. One of the notable ideas for achieving such a composition is using recycled materials. One of the materials which is suitable for environment and constant development is damaged tires .For studying mechanical properties of concrete containing tire particles, a ser...

In recent years demolished concrete waste handling and management is the new primary challenging issue faced by the countries all over the world. It is very challenging and hectic problem that has to be tackled in an indigenous manner, it is desirable to completely recycle demolished concrete waste in order to protect natural resources and reduce environmental pollution. In this research paper ...

This paper presents results of compressive strength, capillary water absorption, and density tests conducted on concrete containing recycled aggregate (RCA) which is obtained from structural waste generated by the construction industry in Turkey. In the experiments, 0%, 15%, 30%, 45% and 60% of the normal (natural) coarse aggregate was replaced by the recycled aggregate. Maximum aggregate parti...

Experimental work was carried out to develop information about mechanical properties of recycled concrete (RC) in marine environment. By using the seawater and dry-wet circulation to simulate the marine environment, specimens of RC were tested with different replacement percentages of 0%, 30%, and 60% after immersing in seawater for 4, 8, 12, and 16 months, respectively. Based on the analysis o...
