Construction and metallurgical industries are the major sources of alternative materials to utilize in aggregate production for concrete [9]. Nowadays, the use of ceramic as a furnishing material is very popular. But, when ceramic reaches the end of its lifetime, it loses its value and becomes mere wastes. Along with the outdated furniture ...

Based on the outcomes, it is recommended to use 10–20% of waste tile aggregate in concrete production where design compressive strength is less than 20 MPa, which can also reduce the demand for ...
Aggregates are the building blocks of construction, crucial for creating the concrete, asphalt, and various other materials that form the infrastructure around us. They consist of coarse to fine particulate materials, including sand, gravel, …
The process normally leaves the waste materials in a form of either fine or coarse recycled aggregates for concrete production. The crushing stages, usually primary and secondary crushing stages, assist in delivering the best grain-size distribution of RAs for effective concrete production. 1.2.2.1. Mining by-products as recycled aggregates
The aggregates used in the production of concrete are inert granular materials such as gravel, crushed stone, sand, slag, recycled concrete, and geosynthetic aggregates. The aggregates may be natural, manufactured, or recycled.
Aggregates are a crucial ingredient in concrete mixtures, contributing to concrete's strength and elastic and thermal properties. Aggregates also help with concrete's dimension and volume stability while controlling …
This work is the first attempt to study the possibility of incorporating three different types of Egyptian serpentine aggregates (antigorite, lizardite and chrysotile) with different serpentinization grades as fine and coarse aggregates for normal concrete production. The results of physical and mechanical tests for each type of aggregate were compared to the others. In …

Aggregates used in concrete help design the drainage system. As it manages the water flow, it can control erosion. Recycling aggregates used in concrete can improve sustainability by reducing waste.
Total amount of CO 2-e/m 3 emissions of concrete corresponded to the sum of the emissions from cement production, aggregates, water, casting, and concrete placement. These components required the use of limestone, water, electricity, diesel fuel, and explosives. The latter refers to a mixture of low-density explosive agents and other additional ...

In this study recycled coarse aggregates obtained by crushed concrete were used for concrete production. Four different recycled aggregate concretes were produced; made with 0%, 25%, 50% and ...
In spite of the amount of construction debris produced every year, recycled aggregates are still not commonly used in the concrete industry. A recycled aggregate concrete—RAC—is not yet allowed by technical codes even though it would greatly help reduce the disposal of debris. This paper considers a construction site that can only be reached by …
Aggregates are raw materials that are produced from natural sources and extracted from pits and quarries, including gravel, crushed stone, and sand. When used with a binding medium, like water, cement, and asphalt, they are used to form compound materials, such as asphalt concrete and Portland cement concrete. In …See more on aem
Aggregates can be broadly classified into two categories: fine and coarse. Each type plays a distinct role in the concrete mix, and their properties must be carefully considered to ensure optimal performance.
As part of efforts to attain circularity in the concrete industry, there is growing interest in employing Recycled Coarse Aggregates (RCA) in commercial concrete production (Wijayasundara et al., 2018).This shift is primarily motivated by the urgent need to address the environmental impacts and the depletion of resources linked to the use of Natural Coarse …
When it comes to constructing sturdy and reliable structures, one of the key ingredients in the recipe for success is aggregates. These seemingly humble materials play a …
A comparative analysis of the experimental results of the properties of fresh and hardened concrete with different replacement ratios of natural with recycled coarse aggregate is presented in the paper. Recycled aggregate was made by crushing the waste concrete of laboratory test cubes and precast concrete columns. Three types of concrete mixtures were …
When incorporating fine aggregates into concrete, several practical considerations can enhance the final product's performance: 1. ... Using sustainable practices in concrete production, such as incorporating recycled fine aggregates, can reduce environmental impact. Sustainable practices help minimize waste and promote a circular economy ...
Therefore, steel slag particles have the potential to be used as coarse/fine aggregate in concrete production. Steel slag is still a solid waste rather than an available resource because of the poor volume stability of SSA. The expansion chemical components in steel slag include f-CaO, f-MgO, and β-C 2 S. Among them, f-CaO is the main reason ...
This study revealed the substitute for conventional materials used in the production of concrete. It involves the use of various aggregates like laterite and quarry dust to replace conventional ...
Recycled concrete aggregate is considered as the most abundant and used secondary aggregate in concrete production, other types of solid waste are also being used in concrete for specific purposes ...

If this demolished concrete is fully recovered and utilized as aggregate, it could potentially reduce the need to extract approximately 13.5 gigatons, or 13 %, of the total volume of natural aggregates required for new concrete production [13, 105, 163].
It is therefore desirable to minimize the amount of paste consistent with the production of concrete that can be handled, compacted, and finished while providing the necessary strength and durability. ... In normal concrete the aggregate weighs 1,520 – 1,680 kg/m 3, but occasionally designs require either lightweight or heavyweight concrete.
Using aggregate materials for concrete reduces production costs and increases the resistance of concrete mixes. Crushed aggregates make up for around 60% to 75% of the volume of concrete.
There are many definitions for the term aggregate, although most of them are very similar.The Encyclopaedia Britannica defines aggregate (in building and construction) as "material used for mixing with cement, bitumen, lime, gypsum, or other adhesive to form concrete or mortar." The British Geological Survey (BGS) points out that "aggregates are normally defined …
The bleeding during the concrete production is also favored by the high porosity of fRCA and high amount of fines [126]. This bleeding is magnified when recycled aggregates are used in a dry state in the concrete mix. ... The coarse recycled concrete aggregates were obtained by casting normal-strength concrete (40 MPa, labeled T40) and high ...
Understanding the role of aggregates in concrete is crucial for reducing its carbon footprint. A common misconception is that the choice of aggregates has little impact on environmental sustainability. However, selecting the right aggregates can significantly lower the carbon emissions associated with concrete production, making it more eco ...
Recycled aggregates, such as the ones used in making the sub-base and base layers of roads and the ones used as replacement of natural aggregates in concrete production, may give an important ...
In his book Properties of Concrete, A.M. Neville suggests producers should expect a wide range of soaking times based upon aggregate types. ôThe 24-hour absorption of lightweight aggregate ranges from 5% to 20% by mass of dry aggregate, but, for good quality aggregate for use in structural concrete, it is usually not more than 15%,ö he writes.
The use of recycled aggregates for concrete production is regulated through the European existing standards, and it is limited to the coarse recycled concrete aggregate fraction (CRCA). It can be used in the exposure class X0 and XC1, and Belgian environmental classes E0 and E1. Concretes produced with these aggregates should have a maximum ...
Sustainable use of different wastewater in concrete construction: A review. Harshit Varshney, ... Iqbal Khaleel Khan, in Journal of Building Engineering, 2021. Abstract. Concrete production is consuming an enormous quantity of water for making fresh concrete. Around one billion tonnes of freshwater is used for washing aggregates, fresh concrete production, and concrete curing [1].
The main focus of this article is, therefore, to review sources and production of aggregates, assess the suitability of available rocks for concrete production, and suggest better ways of aggregate production and usage for optimum concrete production. ORIGIN AND CLASSIFICATION OF AGGREGATE
