The large increase in the volume of demolition concrete waste and its impact on the
environment has led to reconsider of using concrete demolition rubble as a partial or a
whole alternative of natural aggregates to produce new concrete which has th
e required
properties to use in engineering constructions[1]. With the possibility of improving the
mechanical properties of this concrete by processing this aggregates before using it or
support this concrete with fiber to improve its structural behavior.
This research deals with the study of the replacement the natural aggregates used in
concrete with recycled concrete aggregates resulting from the demolition rubble ,
according to different replacement ratiosranging between 0 % -25 % -50 % -75 % -100%
and the impact on the concrete behavior with a natural aggregates and determine the
optimal replacementpercentage.
The results showed a relative decrease in the concrete resistance on the simple
pressure , limited decrease in the volumetric mass also, and a slight adjustment to the
behavior of concrete under the loading effect by increasing the replacement proportion of
the natural aggregateswith recycled concrete aggregates..
In the present paper, we study the effect of both morphology and
compatibilization on the reaction to fire of blends of recycled
poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) with recycled polycarbonate (PC).
Plastic and rubber products considered of being a great importance to humans, but
their residues and wastes are a real environmental disaster. They are dumped in fields,
streams and forests or buried in large landfills that pose a serious hazard th
at needs to work
on solve it in the best possible way.
On the other hand, the economic problems caused by the erosion of concrete cement
have made it the major problem of infrastructure in the industrialized countries. Over the
past three decades, this problem has reached alarming proportions, which led to high repair
costs, whether in concrete or in reinforcing steel, Especially acidic media due to concrete
permeability of acid rainwater, where these costs exceeded initial construction amounts in
some cases.
This paper deals with the recycling of used tires and some types of plastic waste to
be used in the preparation of insulating materials for water and heat at a low cost compared
to the insulation materials currently used in the construction process, in addition to the
preparation of floor tiles for internal and external use.
