A team of civil engineering students from the University of the Philippines has developed an environmentally-friendly concrete that is made from recycled and locally sourced materials. Their innovation, a …
Concrete, a widely-utilized construction material for diagnostic room, heavily relies on Portland cement which is a major contributor to carbon emissions. Thus, this study focused on replacing cement with combination with clay (bentonite and kaolin) and eggshell powder (ESP) as possible shielding materials for diagnostic x-rays. 2 cm blocks are ...
Covered companies or enterprises should recover wastes they produced through (1) buy-back (2) collection for reuse/recycling (3) clean-up of wastes (4) establishment of recycling, composting, thermal treatment, and other waste diversion or disposal facilities. ... CEMEX Philippines through our Solid Cement plant in Antipolo, Rizal and APO ...
Life cycle assessment is performed by benchmarking the environmental impacts of three geopolymer concrete mixes against the conventional cement concrete, …
Concrete might be the last thing on your list of recyclable materials, but it still possible for you to recycle it with ease. Recycling concrete is usually done through pulverizing or crushing the concrete. ... Many regulations …

There are many researchers focused on making concrete a more sustainable material and every day new studies on the subject appear, whether through recycling, more sustainable mixtures of …
In recent years, many researchers in the construction industry had taken up the challenge to incorporate non-biodegradable wastes as partial replacement of cement and/or natural aggregates in the daily production of cement-based materials. Various efforts were intended to understand the influence of using marble dust in concrete due to its …
A group of civil engineering students from the University of the Philippines recently won an international competition for developing an …
The purpose of this study was to investigate whether demolished concrete can be used as an alternative for natural coarse aggregates in concrete. Specifically, this study wished …
In current practice, recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) is the most common implementation. It contains recycled coarse aggregate (RA) produced by crushing waste concrete in place of NA (Fig. 1 b).This recycling strategy has been recognized as an attractive technique since it was first introduced in the early 1980s (Puente de Andrade …
Fortunately, certain specific locations and businesses will accept old concrete and other building trash, like drywall and metals. However, you must know which of these places recycle concrete correctly. That way, you can be sure that you will get responsibly rid of the debris. By recycling concrete, you will be able to conserve …
S0/FS0 – The landfilling system where all CDW generated within the region is dumped at landfill sites, and portions of steel and wood scrap are scavenged for private use.. S1/FS1a – The demand-based recycling system where portions of concrete waste are recycled as road aggregates. The term "demand-based" signifies that only concrete …
Recycling concrete reduces the carbon footprint of concrete production by up to 70%, making it an ideal choice for environmentally conscious construction projects or any project at all. Specifically, recycling one ton of cement could save 1,360 gallons of water and 900 kg of carbon dioxide (CO2).
Concrete Recycling Tara Cavalline, Ph.D., P.E. Assistant Professor, UNC Charlotte. 3/31/2017 3 Environmental Considerations in Concrete Recycling Webinar Learning Objectives • To understand RCA production and use factors potentially impacting environment, specifically: –Water quality
Sika's novel recycling technology is exploiting synergy from a chemo-mechanical treatment of concrete demolition waste. It involves superficial carbonation of the cementitious matrix that is softened and removed …
Generally, glass waste can be reused/recycled absolutely and substantially with maintaining its physical properties and chemical composition [64], [65], [66].Nevertheless, the mixed colour of broken WG makes the recycling procedure unfeasible and extremely costly since these materials may result in a deviation in their …
The term architectural concrete refers to concrete that serves a structural function while providing an aesthetically appealing finish. Decorative concrete is typically used for concrete flatwork or non-structural building elements that are enhanced with texture or color for aesthetic appeal. Both types of concrete are made to be seen.
State-of-the-art recycling of construction and concrete demolition waste has up to now achieved an unsatisfying level only: Return rates of secondary raw material for concrete production are below 60%, and the …
A group of recyclers in the Philippines is trying to ease the country's worsening plastic waste crisis by turning bottles, single-use sachets and snack food wrappers that clog rivers and spoil beaches into …
Co-processing is the reuse or recovery of thermal and mineral properties of qualified waste materials, such as residual plastic or rice husk, as alternative fuels. Through co-processing,...
While concrete recycling is crucial to protecting the environment, its implementation in practice is low in many countries. This study aims to highlight challenges to concrete recycling.
Caltrans is interested in concrete recycling both for environmental and technical reasons. Underutilization ... About half of the respondents discussed problems in using crushed concrete as aggregates, including high pH levels related to the alkali-silica reaction (ASR) and groundwater leaching;
While concrete recycling is crucial to protecting the environment, its implementation in practice is low in many countries. This study aims to highlight challenges to concrete recycling. To achieve that aim, the study objectives are (1) to identify the main challenges to concrete recycling in construction projects; (2) to compare the main …

5 CHEMISTRY OF CONCRETE To enable an assessment of the pH of leachate from crushed concrete it is first necessary to con-sider concrete production. Concrete is formed from a mixture of Portland cement, sand, coarser aggregates and water. The sand and aggregate, unless recycled materials themselves, tend to be
The students' eco-concrete mix (Source: University of the Philippines) In their tests, the young civil engineers found that their version had an improved level of sustainability of 23.9% compared to conventional mixes. This was calculated using five environmental and health measures: impact on global warming, carcinogenic toxins, …
