Utilization of construction waste as partial replacement of aggregates in cement concrete

Abstract

This paper contains study of marble waste as replacement of fine and coarse aggregates in concrete. Entire planet is facing an issue of environment and climate. In this era sustainable development is in huge demand. Sustainable development has way of possibility by revising, rethinking, reducing, reusing. The use of construction waste materials in concrete industrial is playing key role to its economic, eco-friendly, green paybacks and engineering. This review reports on the utilization of waste marble as aggregate in concrete production industry. On the base of the reviewed studies, it was experiential that construction waste used in place of coarse aggregate contribute to the workability and mechanical properties of concrete. When natural aggregates relaced with coarse marble aggregates, ceramic tiles, recycled aggregates, it attained the best results at full replacement ratio. Additionally, waste construction materials in coarse aggregate form improves the mechanical properties over the dust form. These sustainable alternatives not only enhance mechanical properties of concrete but also boost economy.
