According to Dafico et al. [10] the concrete blocks produced with recycled construction aggregates have a very large variability con- cerning the results of compression strength; however it was ob-served that the best mixture is when the cement is mixed with the aggregate in dry saturated surface, followed by the introduction of mixing water with air-incorporating additives.

The demand on stones and sand for concrete production has increased to such an extent that it is posing serious environmental threats. Hence it is very necessary to control the rate of extraction of these resources. On the other hand large quantities of construction and demolition wastes are continuously being generated which are just being dumped in landfills. This requires large areas of ...
the reuse of demolition concrete were mainly focused on the recovery of aggregates, such as stone, gravel and sand, from the concrete using a crushing process [3]. The previous studies also focused on the energy consumption of the recovery process and what could be done to make it more energy efficient [2]. In the process of recovering the aggregates from the demolished concrete, the ...

After a demolition or construction project, chances are you will be left with quite a bit of leftover concrete. Unfortunately, much of the concrete that is left over following the completion of such projects gets wasted, which is bad for the environment and the economy. To maximize the potential benefits of used concrete, it''s important to consider the opportunities provided by concrete ...
