Abstract

This study examines the viability and potential advantages of integrating demolition waste into concrete through experimental methods. Managing demolition trash poses substantial environmental difficulties, as traditional disposal techniques frequently result in the use of landfills. By incorporating demolition waste as aggregates in concrete mixtures, possibilities for sustainable construction methods arise. Experimental investigations entail altering the proportions of demolition waste aggregates to evaluate factors like as compressive strength, durability, and workability. Initial findings indicate that demolition waste can be efficiently exploited as a partial substitute for traditional aggregates, providing improved characteristics to concrete while addressing waste disposal concerns. The challenges of waste variability and standardization needs are recognized, highlighting the necessity for additional research. In summary, this study highlights the possibility of using demolition waste in concrete manufacturing as a means to promote sustainability in the building industry.
