Making concrete using construction waste

By Felipe Dalla Nora Soares

Construction waste accounts for more than half of all urban waste collected, causing a major environmental impact mainly due to the large quantities generated. Concern for the environment is gaining ground in a number of different areas, and construction could not be any different. Even with technological advances and the modernisation of construction techniques, the generation of waste is inevitable. Therefore, utilising construction waste again in the building industry is an excellent option that not only reduces the amount of rubble generated, but also cuts down on the extraction of raw materials. The research was carried out with the aim of evaluating the influence of using construction waste as a partial substitute for coarse and fine aggregates in the production of concrete.
