Study of reuse from recycled aggregate processing

Year: 2017

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Construction and demolition waste (C&DW) is a source of alternative raw materials. The promising research findings on fired clay-based construction and demolition waste as active cement additions herald its practical application in several construction sub-industries. Nonetheless, new dimensions and applications have yet to be studied. One would be the feasibility of valorising other C&DW products to ensure the integral use of this type of waste, 500 million tonnes of which are generated in Europe yearly. This study consequently explores C&DW materials, such as the “fines” generated in recycled aggregate processing, that have been put to no specific use to date. Given that this refuse is presently not regarded as apt for use in concrete, research on the development of new cements in which it could be included is described hereunder.
