Recycling has become an integral part of the construction industry during the 1980s. The advent of recycling concrete and asphalt into aggregate base materials has satisfied many needs. It has helped reduce ecological pressures on our community, while simultaneously offering us a viable and competitive source for "spec" aggregate base …
Abstract. Nowadays, the recycling potential of wood waste is still limited and in a resource cascading approach, recycling wood waste in cement composite materials, such as wood wool cement board (WWCB) appears as a promising solution. The quality of the wood waste is the main factor leading to the instability of the final product …

Consequently, many researchers have been studied the recycling of marble sludge waste as a filler material additive into the cement mortar system and the concrete mix (Shiraz, 2011, Marras et al., 2010, Ergün, 2011, Belaidi et al., 2012, Vardhan et al., 2015) or as a calcium carbonate-rich raw material to produce sulfoaluminate cement …
In an experimental study using cement and kenaf fiber to reinforce sand, it was found that the addition of kenaf fiber could reduce the brittleness index of cement-reinforced soil. When the kenaf fiber content increased from 0.25 % to 0.75 %, the soil brittleness index dropped by 71.4 % (Ghadakpour et al., 2019).
Concrete can be recycled by breaking it up and crushing it down into small aggregate, which can then used to create new, reusable products. Concrete is made by mixing sand, cement, gravel and water. When broken down, the sand and stone can be used again. Typically recycled concrete is used to create a base material or aggregate …
Concrete and Asphalt Disposal Options. 1. Rent a Roll Off Dumpster. This is a quick and affordable way to dispose of concrete, asphalt and other heavy construction debris, such as bricks. Roll off dumpsters can typically handle anywhere between 3 and 12 pickup truck loads of material, providing an efficient disposal solution for any size job.
This product is typically used for site stabilization, bottom layer road base, and backfill. Besides stone, recycled concrete can also be used to create engineered fill sand. This fine-grained material neutralizes pH levels and is commonly used for environmental fill and remediation projects. RECYCLED CONCRETE BENEFITS.

We also recycle all the steel reinforcement bars which was imbedded in the concrete, making this a recycled project. Concrete from demolition projects, wash out from concrete plants, orphan pre-cast products such as manholes, rap pipe, pre-stressed concrete panels etc. can be processed into crusher run, with a 2" to 3" oversized material.
The matrix concrete was cast using P.O 42.5 Ordinary Portland cement, and the composition of the cement can be found in Table 2. The NCA in the concrete comprised natural crushed stones with particle sizes ranging from 4.75 to 31.5 mm. River sand, classified as medium sand with a fineness modulus of 2.97, was used as the NFA.
Crushing equipment is most often used in the processing of materials—of limestone, basalt, granite, or other stone that's mined. Consequently, when you think of rock crushing, that's probably the type …

Concrete recycling plays a critical role in conserving natural resources. By reprocessing and reusing concrete from demolished structures, the demand for new raw materials, such as gravel, sand, and water, is significantly reduced. This conservation is vital in the context of rapidly depleting natural resources.
