Utilization of Construction and Demolition Waste Material in Low Volume Road Construction: Experimental Study

Due to urbanization the generation and extraction of materials like soil, aggregate, cement will have an ecological impact. Therefore to minimize the environmental impact, waste disposal and global warming, concrete made with demolition and construction waste functions well as a solution. Hence, in the present research work, the feasibility study of using the construction and demolition wastes in the low volume road construction in rural areas is presented. The recycled coarse aggregate produced from building and demolition waste is used to replace the coarse aggregates in concrete as (0%, 50%, and 100%) % replacement. The main objective of present work is to determine the compressive strength of concrete produced using recycled aggregate. The experimental results of 7 and 28 days compressive strength of concrete using recycled coarse aggregate are presented in the paper. Based on the results, the feasibility and suitability study of the concrete with recycled coarse aggregate is discussed.
