Synopsis

The objective of this study explores the sustainability of different concretes for use under different loading and environmental conditions in the construction and civil engineering industries. This study could have significant positive implications to inspire readers’ more comprehensive thought and inspirations obtained from findings for our imitations. Desktop research is preliminarily adopted and an experiment is used. Thirty percent recycled coarse aggregate generally provides superior results compared to 30% recycled fine aggregate. Based on the research undertaken, it can be concluded that using recycled coarse aggregate in new construction and civil engineering projects just makes good sense.
