Abstract

This study presents an overview of the development and application of recycled aggregate in the production of concrete. Nowadays, in a large part of the world, demolition of old and deteriorated buildings and traffic infrastructure, and their replacement with new ones is a usual phenomenon. As a consequence, the volume of demolished concrete is increasing day by day, which generates a lot of waste and ultimately pollutes the environment. However, because of rapid industrialization, production and utilization of concrete is rapidly increasing, which results in increased consumption of natural aggregate as the largest concrete component. Hence, the preservation of natural aggregates sources is being threatened day by day. On the other hand, the protection of the environment has become one of the major issues of our present world. The reduction of raw material consumption and energy consumption is critical elements in this regard. Therefore, recycling of demolished concrete for new construction is essential to preserve the natural resources as well as to solve the disposal problems of demolished concrete.
