IRJET- To Study the Effect of Recycled Aggregate in High Strength ConcreteIRJET Journal
This study evaluated the effect of replacing natural coarse aggregates with recycled concrete aggregates at different replacement percentages (0%, 25%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%) on the compressive and flexural strengths of concrete. The results showed that compressive and flexural strengths decreased as the replacement percentage increased, except at 60% replacement where the strengths were similar to the control concrete (0% replacement). The maximum recommended replacement percentage was determined to be 60%, beyond which strengths started to significantly decrease. Replacement of up to 60% recycled concrete aggregates was found to produce concrete with comparable strengths to conventional concrete.

For example, at 28 days the weathered concrete has a 54.6 MPa strength versus 71.25 MPa for traditional concrete, but a lower modulus of elasticity of 2.0 GPa compared to 3.2 GPa. The results indicate that using weathered coarse aggregate is effective for reducing stresses in concrete structures without
IRJET- Comparative Study of Alternate Forms of Concrete by Replacing Bric...IRJET Journal
This document presents a study comparing different forms of concrete made by partially replacing traditional aggregates with recycled materials. Brick bats, crushed clay tiles were used to replace up to 40% of coarse aggregate. Lead slag, an industrial byproduct, was used to replace up to 60% of fine aggregate. Cubes were cast and tested at 7, 14, and 28 days to determine compressive strength. Results showed concrete with 30% replacement of coarse aggregate and 30% replacement of fine aggregate achieved near equivalent compressive strengths as traditional concrete. Using these recycled materials provides an economical and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional concrete mixes.
IRJET- Manufacture of Concrete using Solid Waste from Construction IndustryIRJET Journal
This document discusses the use of solid waste from construction and demolition sites as recycled aggregates in concrete. Three key points:

This document presents the results of an experimental study on using quarry dust to replace sand in concrete. Quarry dust is a byproduct of the stone crushing process and can be used as a substitute for natural sand. The study tested different ratios of sand to quarry dust in concrete mixes to determine the optimal replacement ratio. Tests were conducted to measure the workability, density, and compressive strength of concrete mixes with 0-100% replacement of sand with quarry dust. The results showed that replacing up to 40% of sand with quarry dust increased the density and compressive strength of the concrete while still maintaining adequate workability. Replacing sand with quarry dust up to 40% produced equivalent or better results compared to

This study investigated the use of waste materials like saw dust ash, glass powder, and rubber tire pieces to partially replace cement, fine aggregate, and coarse aggregate in concrete. Concrete cubes were cast with varying replacement percentages and tested for compressive strength at 7 days. Replacement of up to 4% of each material resulted in higher strength compared to conventional concrete. Further tests found an optimum mix with 4% cement replacement and 8% fine aggregate and 2% coarse aggregate replacement achieved the maximum compressive strength. The study concludes these waste materials can be utilized in concrete production to improve sustainability.
The document discusses the future of books in light of the growing popularity of e-readers and tablets. It notes that e-readers like the Kobo have over 2 million users due to their convenience and size advantages over printed books. However, many students still prefer printed textbooks that can be resold. Tablets are also growing rapidly in popularity, with Apple's iPad 2 projected to account for 85% of the 2011 tablet market. The future of printed books is uncertain as digital formats continue gaining ground, but physical books still offer an experience that e-readers cannot replicate.

Experimental Analysis Using Egg Shell Powder as a partial alternative for CementIRJET Journal
This document presents the results of an experimental study analyzing the use of egg shell powder (ESP) as a partial replacement for cement in concrete. ESP was used to replace 0-20% of the cement by weight in increments of 5%. Concrete mixtures were tested for properties including compressive strength, density, and cost. Results showed that replacing cement with ESP reduced the density and initial compressive strength of the concrete. However, adding an admixture improved the 7-day and 28-day compressive strengths even with ESP replacements up to 15%. Replacing 10% of cement with ESP and an admixture produced concrete with comparable strength to normal concrete at a similar cost, demonstrating the potential of ESP as a sustainable cement replacement.

An investigation was conduced to achieve concrete of higher strength using crushed brick as aggregate and study the mechanical properties. It was found that higher strength concrete (cf= 4500 to 6600 psi1) with brick aggregate is achievable whose strength is much higher than the parent uncrushed brick. Test results show that the compressive strength of brick aggregate concrete can be increased by decreasing its water-cement ratio and using admixture whenever necessary for workability. The compressive strength as well as the tensile strength and the modulus of elasticity of the concrete were studied. The cylinder strength is found about 90% of the cube strength. The ACI Code relations for determining the modulus of rupture was found to highly underestimate the test values., whereas the code suggested expression for elastic modulus gives much higher values than the experimental ones for brick aggregate concrete. Relations were proposed to estimate the modulus of rupture and the modulus of elasti

Art upgrading the use of recycled aggregates collins (1998)
1. Upgrading the use of recycled aggregates
R J Collins
Building Research Establishment, Watford, UK
Abstract
Use of crushed concrete and masonry in the UK is mainly for lower grade applications
and its resource potential (as measured by its position in the marketplace) is frequently
undervalued. In recent years there have been moves to demonstrate its wider potential
eg in ready-mixed concrete for the new Environmental Building at BRE. This paper
describes progress in collaborative programmes with UK industry to improve
guarantees of quality for use in concrete blocks, precast concrete, and by the
introduction of a pilot scheme for quality control. This paper also introduces new work
to improve the availability of information and in particular the establishment of an
internet-based materials information exchange. This is designed to be attractive by
being simple, quick and self-maintaining.
Concrete blocks were made with up to 75% recycled aggregate on a full-scale
industrial plant and tested in beam-and-block test floors. All performance indicators
were exceeded by a very wide margin. With regard to precast concrete, no effective
difference was found in initial tests with the replacement of up to 20% of coarse
aggregate or 10% of fine aggregate with reclaimed product. Quality control of recycled
aggregates for these construction products should not need to be very onerous - with
floor infill blocks because of the massive safety margin, and with reclaimed product in
precast because this is already a much better controlled source than demolition waste.
The prospect for some utilisation of fine recycled aggregates in higher-grade
applications is considered possible both in the precast application and for cement
manufacture.
Keywords: cement, concrete blocks, demolition, flooring, internet, precast, quality
control, readymix, recycled aggregates
2. 1 Introduction
Worldwide demand for aggregates is on an increasing trend and long-term projections
indicate that the UK is no exception. As in the UK, there is an increasing commitment to
the principles of sustainable development, with an emphasis on the need to make greater
use of waste and recycled materials and use primary aggregates more efficiently. Although
waste and recycled materials already account for about 10% of the aggregates used in the
UK, there is a considerable potential to increase this level of usage and it is UK
Government policy to promote this where this furthers aims of materials conservation and
environmental protection.
Many countries, including the UK, already have a substantial use of recycled aggregates
in road construction, where fairly large quantities of low-specification aggregates have
traditionally been required. While attempts are being made to increase this usage in the
UK, it must also be borne in mind that the construction of new roads on virgin land is not a
sustainable activity and that already this is losing its importance with respect to road
maintenance and the construction of high-speed rail networks and urban transit systems.
All of these activities generally require a greater proportion of materials produced to higher
specifications. It is against this background, and the decreasing availability/increasing cost
of landfill, that efforts have been made towards putting in place higher-grade outlets for
recycled aggregates.
2 Specifications for recycled aggregates
European standards for all types of construction aggregates are currently being
prepared and are intended to include the use of recycled aggregates, provided, of
course, that they meet performance requirements for the intended end-use. An ad hoc
group of the relevant Technical Committee (TC 154) has prepared a technical report on
the specification of recycled aggregates from which specification clauses will be drafted
for inclusion in the product standards. Unfortunately this will not be ready in time for
the projected implementation date (the year 2000) for the first package of aggregates
standards. Thus implementation of European (CEN) specification requirements for
recycled aggregates may have to wait for the first revision of these standards, or at least
until amendments are issued.
Specifications for recycled aggregates in concrete prepared in the Technical Report of
the ad hoc group for recycled aggregates are based on the RILEM Recommendation
[l]. Additional recommendations made by the ad hoc group include additional quality
control procedures - rates of testing, and very importantly, the input control of
materials entering recycling plants.
3 Recycled aggregates in ready-mixed concrete
The RILEM Recommendation was used as a basis for the specification of recycled
aggregates in ready-mixed concrete in BRE’s new Environmental Building [2] and in
the construction of a strong floor facility at BRE’s Cardington Laboratory [3]. The use
of this specification in conjunction with the British Standard for concrete (BS5328) had
3. already been explored as a permissible within the UK Building Regulations as part of a
study carried out by BRE for UK Government Minerals Planning [4]. Quality control
procedures relating mainly to input control and frequency of testing were put in place
for each of these projects.
A new project to assist a more general application of recycled aggregate in ready-
mixed concrete has been started at BRE. This involves partnerships of demolition
fiiiis, recycling plants, readymix companies and clients. The clients in the first instance
will be Local Authorities in which there are various pressures to promote recycling -
these are applied by Central Government and relate to permissions for mineral
extraction and the provision of landfill space. Naturally, Authorities in urban areas,
particularly in SE England are under the greatest pressure. The aim of the project is to
put in place quality control procedures to allow a more general use of recycled
aggregates in higher grade applications. This may not just be for structural concrete,
but could also be used, for example, for cement-bound sub-base materials in roads - a
use which was introduced in the Highways Specification in 1991 [5], but not, as far as it
is known, taken up.
It is intended that the quality control procedures will be backed up by a BRE Digest
to be published in 1998. This Digest will bridge the gap between specifications as
drafted for CEN and current UK practice.
4 Recycled aggregates in manufactured products
In the BRE study on specifications [4] another route for the application of recycled
aggregates was identified and this is potentially simpler to implement. Manufactured
products should be guaranteed by the manufacturer as fit for purpose. Thus, in
principle, the quality control of any input of recycled material needs to be verified only
by the manufacturer of the product. In practice, however, not all products are specified
purely on performance and standards often contain both recipes and performance
requirements. In these circumstances, proof may be required to the satisfaction of the
user that a recipe can be varied without detriment to the product.
4.1 Concrete blocks
Another partnership project led by BRE has concentrated on the use of demolition
waste in precast concrete blocks. The intended use for these blocks was for beam-and-
block flooring systems. This was considered to be a fairly non-onerous end-use since
there are no weathering requirements and the general experience with loading tests on
floor is that the margins of safety are very large (at least a factor of 10).
Initial studies in this project were concerned with the requirements for recycled
aggregates to be used in conventional blockrnaking plant. These plants rely on the free
fall of materials in hoppers etc and thus a’iufficient proportion of fines must be removed
from the recycled aggregate to ensure that clogging of the plant does not occur. The
grading of the recycled aggregates thus needs to be coarser than that needed to produce
dense, well-compacted blocks. Some natural sand needed to be added to the recycled
aggregate at the mixer ie it was not possible to produce good blocks containing 100%
recycled aggregate with conventional plant. Blocks with up to 75% recycled aggregate
could be made with no difficulty. (ARC Conbloc using materials supplied from Pinden
4. Plant & Processing). Floor loading tests were carried out by Kingsway Technology on
blocks from 3 trial runs containing between 50% and 75% recycled aggregates. Beam-
and block floors 2.9 x 3 metres were constructed for each trial run and finished with a
5Omm thick 3:l sand:cement screed which was left to cure for 28 days. Each floor
required the use of 6 beams and 70 blocks. Floors were loaded centrally via a 1OOmm
square plate. Results for ultimate load gave safety factors of between 33.7 and 39.0,
and deflection was well within limits given in BS8 110 for the structural use of concrete.
4.2 Precast structural concrete
A further partnership project led by BRE in association with members of the Precast
Flooring Federation, Leeds, Nottingham Trent and Sheffield Universities is concerned
with the recycling of rejected precast elements within precast works. Wastage of
concrete within precast works due to a number of factors such as breakage, poor
compaction, malformation and off-cuts can sometimes approach 10%. Although some
materials have been crushed and used as hardcore rather than landfilled, there would be
further advantages if the material could be fed back into the production line. Use of
reclaimed product in precast is already practised in some countries where this is allowed
in the specifications. The challenge in the UK where current specifications preclude its
use is to produce an industry code of practice/industrial standard that will be acceptable
within the construction industry as a whole.
Trials are being carried out at 4 precast works, and initial tests on various levels of
replacement should be complete early in 1998. Initial results indicate that there is little
if any effect from the replacement of 20% of the coarse aggregate and 10% of the fine
aggregate by reclaimed product. Reclaimed product is a purer and more consistent
material than recycled aggregates from demolition waste and thus requirements for
quality control are very much reduced. The incorporation of a small percentage of fine
material without detriment also illustrates the purer nature of reclaimed product - most
research workers have found the fine material from demolition waste to be too
contaminated for very successful use in concrete.
When the use of reclaimed product in precast works is well established as routine
within the construction industry, it may be possible to consider an extension to this
practice. If buildings were “deconstructed” rather than “demolished” then precast
elements could be retrieved and returned to the manufacturer for recycling.
4.3 Cement manufacture
Demolition materials can form a source of raw materials for the preparation of raw feed
to cement kilns producing Portland cement. This forms part of a Brite-Euram project
“Construction recycling technologies for high quality cement and concrete” led by the
Spanish cement company Lemona of Bilbao with Labein also of Bilbao. BRE is part of
the consortium which also includes work on concrete technology by Holzmann,
Priiftechnik and BAM of Germany and Taywood Engineering (UK). It is hoped that
cement manufacture will be able to cope with the higher level of pollutant found in the
fines derived from crushed demolition material, and thus, together with the use of
recycled aggregate in concrete, offer the potential of high grade applications for all size
fractions.
5. 5 Materials Information Exchange
One of the key restraining factors which prevents the more effective use of demolition
materials and surplus construction materials is lack of timely information on arisings and
information regarding potential constiuction projects or production processes where
such waste could be utilised. A potential user of waste needs to know what waste is
becoming available and when (or for how long), in what quantity, where, and what cost.
Conversely, a producer of waste, whether construction, demolition or at a materials
production site will ask similar questions in relation to potential disposal routes. Timely
notification of material availability and future sources will facilitate advance planning
and greater take-up of material.
In response to these requirements BRE, with support from the UK Department of the
Environment, Transport and the Regions have developed an intemet-based Materials
Information Exchange. This consists of four parts:
l A ‘board’ showing materials for free collection or sale, with text and menu boxes for
nature of arising, quantity, location, cost and timing
l A category of unutilised materials, for example, over-ordered stock available
l A ‘Materials Wanted’ board with text and menu options similar to above
l An ‘up and coming’ demolition board to notify potential users of future sources.
The system is available to any operator who has an internet connection. In operation
the exchange is not complex and relies on a series of predesignated ‘click’ boxes giving
options relating to most of the details required. The operator generally only needs to
input contact point of the supplier or user. The system will automatically search all
input data to match the search commands. The time for both inputting and extraction
of information is measured in seconds rather than minutes. Furnished with the contact
information, the operator is then free to negotiate for the use of the material.
The Materials Information Exchange is designed to be self-maintaining and users are
free to enter or extract information directly from the system without the need to contact
a third party. The self-maintaining nature of this system means that there are no
subscriptions or user fees. It is considered that the simplicity, speed and cost-free
nature of the system will provide an attractive package to the industry and ensure take-
up and use of the system. The address of the system on the internet is:
http://helios.bre.co.uk/waste
BRE are about to commence an integrated awareness, consultation and review exercise
with potential users, industry trade associations, Local Authorities etc., targeted initially
on London and SE England. This aims to encourage take-up of the scheme and, in the
light of consultation, to identify improvements that will increase the effectiveness of the
exchange.
6. 6 Future developments
BRE, Construction Directorate of the UK Department of the Environment, Transport
and the Regions, the UK Environment Agency and Hertfordshire County Council intend
to establish a Sustainable Building Network aimed primarily at Local Government
which has a crucial role to play in developing and implementing ways of promoting
sustainable practice in industry on a local and regional basis. They act as clients in
specifying construction projects, as influencers through environmental fora such as
Local Agenda 21 and as enforcers in planning and building control.
As well as providing information on current best practice, and facilitating the building
of partnerships to achieve these aims, it is intended that the Network will provide a
positive feedback of new ideas and experience eg Hertfordshire County Council
anticipate undertaking a study of reuse and recycling of materials in the construction of
schools and are willing to share their information through the forum.
