Meanwhile, huge amounts of concrete waste are generated due to accelerated urbanization and redevelopment. Carbonated concrete waste can thus both be used as alternative materials to aggregates and cement, and a carbon sink to reduce CO 2 emission. In this paper, different carbonation approaches and their modified techniques …

Crushed concrete may be reused as an aggregate in new Portland cement concrete or any other structural layer. Generally it is combined with a aggregate when used in new concrete. However, recycled concrete is more often used as aggregate in a sub-base layer. Several advances have made recycling more economical for all types of concrete ...

The two recycling methods of C&D waste are fixed-based, usually off-site, and on-site recycling facilities. Because recycling equipment is readily available and reasonably priced, C&D waste processing can be easily accomplished (Malešev et al., 2010). It is worth noting that while the on-site recycler is primarily a crusher, the off-site ...

The process of recycling concrete varies, and the best method for each project will depend on the size and shape of the concrete pieces recycled. Reusing concrete can help reduce construction costs, since it saves the cost of transporting concrete to the landfill, which is around $0.25/ton/mile. Recycling also eliminates disposal costs, while ...

Construction and demolition (C&D) waste is a central component of the solid waste stream, amounting to roughly 25 percent of total solid waste nationally. The largest part of C&D material is concrete, which encompasses around 70 percent of C&D generated material before recycling, according to the U.S. EPA. Construction (21.7 million tons) …

Consequently, concrete recycling is crucial to achieving a material-efficient society, especially with the application of various categories of concrete and the goal of phasing out fossil fuels. A comparative life cycle assessment (LCA) is used to assess the engineering material footprint (EMF) and the fossil fuel material footprint (FMF) in ...

Concrete recycling is becoming an increasingly popular way to utilize waste concrete left behind when structures or roadways are demolished. In the past, this rubble was disposed of in landfills, but with more attention being paid to environmental concerns, concrete recycling allows reuse of the rubble while also keeping construction costs down

When concrete recycling is done by crushing the concrete and reusing it as aggregates again, the concrete can only used for certain applications as described in standards. For example, in some countries it cannot be used for any applications that require freeze-thaw resistance. The high porosity of the crushed concrete leads to a lower value of ...

After demolition of old roads and buildings, the removed concrete is often considered worthless and disposed of as demolition waste. By collecting the used concrete and breaking it up, recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) is created (Fig. 1).This paper focuses on coarse RCA which is the coarse aggregate from the original concrete that is …
