Concrete Using Waste as Aggregate: A Novel Waste Reuse Strategy

This article discusses a novel waste reuse strategy of using waste as aggregate in concrete to minimize waste generated in construction sites. The process involves using recycled concrete, plastic particles, and crushed glass as aggregates in the concrete mix. The article explains how the process works, its benefits, and limitations. It also highlights that the substitution of natural aggregates with recycled materials can decrease the compressive strength of the aggregate and that the mechanical performance of the concrete decreases when recycled and fresh concrete are used together.
