Synopsis

The majority of the solid waste produced worldwide comes from construction and demolition (C&D) debris, which is then dumped in landfills. But there is a possibility of appropriately treating and reusing such waste as aggregate in new concrete. Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC) is a high- performance concrete mixture that flows under its own weight while yet exhibiting enough segregation resistance. C&D waste recycled coarse aggregates (RCA) use in SCC has the potential to lessen the cost and environmental impact of concrete. In order to test the impact of RCA on the characteristics of SCC, RCA is employed in the manufacturing of SCC in varied percentage replacements of natural coarse aggregate (NCA).
