INTRODUCTION

Definition:
Recycling of construction waste defined as fairly clean and heterogeneous material which are produced from demolitions of structures.
Types of construction wastages:

Brick waste Concrete waste

Recycling method:
Brick crushing
Recycling process;
Recycling method:
Steel: melting and purification
Concrete crushing Plastics: washing and remoulding
Timber: Processing and manufacturing
 4

Advantages of Recycling:
 It reduces demand upon the new sources
 Cost and effort of transport and production will be reduced
 We can save natural resources for our future generations

Disadvantages of Recycling:
 Downgrading of quality of concrete
 Increase in water absorption
 Reduces workability

EXPERIMENTAL METHODOLOGY

Method 1:
Characterization Of Recycled Coarse Aggregate (RCA) Via A Surface Coating Method
 Recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) made from waste concrete is not a suitable structural material as it
has high absorption of cement mortar, which adheres on the aggregate surface and on the tiny cracks
thereon.
 Therefore, when using RCA made from waste concrete, much water must be added with the concrete,
and slump loss occurs when transporting.
 In this method, surface of RCA was coated with water-soluble polycarboxylate (PC) dispersant so that
its characteristics improved.
 8

Mechanism Of Coated RCA:

 Picture (a)Shows that the RCA was ready to coating
 After coating a film was formed on RCA’s surface shown in (b)
 To make concrete coated aggregates are mixed with other materials like
sand, water, cement shown in (c)
 When the PC-dispersant on surface of RCA slowly reacted, C-S-H
hydrate was formed around the aggregates shown in (d).
 Therefore, CRCA may be prevented over-absorption and slump loss
 9

Results:
 Table 1 shows that slump loss was
covered

 Table 2 shows that water reduction

ratio increased when compared to
RCA 100%

Table 1 Table 2
 10

 CRCA showed a good result than RCA in

compressive and tensile strength. Table 3
discusses that result.

 Table 4 shows that CRCA had high Table 3

penetration resistance compared to RCA

Method 2:
Recycling Concrete Debris from Construction and Demolition
Waste
 In general mixture of cement, sand and water is called as mortar. But in this
method crushed concrete debris used as fine aggregate.
 Products are high quality aggregate, processed in steps with time and effort
involved in crushing, pre-sizing, sorting, screening and contaminant
elimination.
 A scalping screen will remove dirt and foreign particles.
 Further cleaning is necessary to ensure the recycled concrete product is free
of dirt, clay, wood, plastic and organic materials.
 This is done by water floatation, hand picking, air separators, and Process of Waste Concrete Recycling
electromagnetic separators.
 12

 The collected pieces of concrete debris are to be crushed and graded according to the ASTM required size
of sand for masonry mortar with 100 percent passing the No. 4 sieve and 10 percent passing the No. 200
sieve.
 This is then mixed with cement and water in the ratio 1: 2¾ : 6¼ (water, cement, and sand or crushed
concrete debris respectively).
 A project was designed and developed for the mix design and concrete blocks are also made up of two
types, one is with sand as fine aggregate and another is crushed concrete debris as fine aggregate.
 Ball penetration test, slump test and compression test for 7,14,21,28 days are conducted on concrete
blocks.
 All these tests are according to ASTM (American Standard for Testing and Materials)
 And the results are listed below
 13

Results:
 Sieve analysis was done according ASTM C144.
 Average difference of penetration test of standard mix is 8.61%
higher than the average difference of penetration test of debris
mix. However concrete debris mix passed the allowable
penetration for mortar. Table 1 shows that penetration result of
both the mixes. Table 1
 Required slump for the mortar is 5-8 in. This debris mix blocks
shows that the slump is 7.3. So this mix is passed the required
slump. Table 2 shows the slump values of both the mixes.

Table 2
 14

 In table 3, the average compressive strength of the standard mix

is 10.20% stronger than the average compressive strength of the
concrete debris mixture cured for 14 days. However, the average
of both mixtures is above the allowable compressive strength of
mortar with the concrete debris mixture 2.725% higher than the
allowable.
Table 3

 In table 4, both the average compressive strengths of the two

mixtures are above the allowable compressive strength with the
concrete debris mix having 18.015% higher than the allowable.
Concrete blocks are cured for 21 days.

Table 4
 15

 Table 5 shows that the average compressive strength of the

standard mix is 17.50% stronger than the average compressive
strength of the concrete debris mixture cured for 28 days reaching
about 43.91% higher than the allowable compressive strength of
mortar.
 However, the average compressive strength of the concrete debris
mixture this time is 18.72% higher than the allowable compressive
strength.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS

 In the surface coating method, aggregate surface was coated with the water soluble
PC-dispersant.
 And results were good compared to RCA. So Coated RCA is better than RCA.
 But it costs more than natural aggregate and it takes more time to recycle.
 Where as in crushed concrete debris used as fine aggregate in mortar method, sand is
replaced by crushed concrete.
 And the results are similar to standard mortar mix which contains sand as fine
aggregate. So crushed concrete is can be used as alternative fine aggregate.
 It costs less when compared to surface coating method, and it takes less time to do
crushing.
 17
CONCLUSIONS

 All the test results of the concrete with CRCA were satisfactory compared to the control.
That with more than 75 % CRCA replacement, however, showed slight bleeding
 The proportions of the crushed concrete debris affects cement and water in a manner that
it absorbs most of the water in the mixture. The concrete debris mixture obtained a high
slump and low compressive strength at its seventh day of curing. But when concrete
blocks cured for 28 days showed good result compared to seven days.
 For better results more studies and researches should be done. And recycling also should
be done according to demand only.
