Nowadays, recycled aggregate use in concrete production increases worldwide as a result of its reliable performance, ensuring sustainability and reducing landfill problems. Besides, partial replacement of conventional quarry aggregates by recycled aggregates can reduce energy consumption as well as CO 2 emission by around 46% …

The study found that in a single year, recycling and reuse activities in the United States accounted for: 681,000 jobs, $37.8 billion in wages, and. $5.5 billion in tax revenues. This equates to 1.17 jobs per 1,000 tons of materials recycled and $65.23 in wages and $9.42 in tax revenue for every ton of materials recycled.

Aggregates Production 2018 (in million of tonnes by country and type [48]. ... When the concrete rubble is transported to the recycling plant, it may be mixed with the rubble from different types of construction materials (e.g. traditional, ultra-high strength concrete, light- and heavyweight concretes, fiber reinforced concrete, etc.). ...

The C &D waste from different sites, such as dismantled structures, ready-mix concrete batching plant, and concrete testing laboratories, is collected and …

A general review of how recycled aggregates were used by previous researchers in recent years and their findings are reviewed in this review paper. In addition, methods for enhancing the mechanical characteristics of recycled aggregate and long-term efficiency such as improving the properties without modifying the recycled aggregate …

Most of the waste materials recycled for the production of new construction materials are by-products of various manufacturing processes, such as the aggregate washing process. ... Leaching performance of concrete eco-blocks: Towards zero-waste in precast concrete plants. A. P. Galvín Sorlini Sabrina Barbudo Auxi A. Peña A. López …

Recycled aggregates (RA) from construction and demolition waste (CDW) instead of natural aggregates (NA) were analysed in the manufacture of new eco-friendly concrete. Fine (FRA) and coarse (CRA) recycled aggregates were used in different percentages as substitutes of natural sand and gravel, respectively. The results revealed …

Recycled concrete aggregates are being considered for use in the O'Hare Modernization Project (OMP). Laboratory testing using a two-stage mixing method showed that using RCA from Chicago O'Hare International Airport for the coarse aggregate reduces bleeding and segregation … See more

Natural aggregates (NA) are crushed and processed in crushing plants after the extraction stage in quarries. In the present study, the aggregates are divided into three scenarios, depending on the production methods. The first scenario considers the production of NA, the second scenario deals with the production of recycled …

Environmentally Sustainable. Arguably, one of the greatest advantages of recycled aggregate is the fact that it is environmentally sustainable. It typically uses far less energy during the production stages and eliminates the need for quarrying material. In addition, material deposits are where they are.

A review of the status and future prospects of a design strategy f or recycled aggre-. gate concrete has identified the following elements: Currently, the use of RCA is hampered by a number of ...

This paper concerns the recovery of construction and demolition waste as coarse recycled aggregates for concrete. Coarse recycled aggregates may be used as a partial or total replacement of natural aggregates, contributing to the circular economy and minimizing landfill disposals as well as the consumption of natural mineral resources. …

1. Introduction. Demolished concrete can be crushed to obtain recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) that are used to produce recycling concrete. The motivation of this approach is to move towards a circular material flow in the construction industry and to preserve the limited sources of natural aggregates [[1], [2], [3], [4]].Moreover, RCA have …

Recently the use of recycled aggregates in structural concrete has been included in the European standard. EN 206:2013+A1. "Concrete – Specification, performance, production and conformity" (CEN, 2016) only concerns the use of coarse recycled aggregates; their use is restricted to less severe environments.Table 1 shows …
