Wang, Jianyun (author), Zhang, Rui (author), Hou, Fuxing (author), Ye, G. (author)Microbial induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) technology has been successfully used to enhance the properties of recycled concrete aggregates. However, the complex source and varied physical and chemical properties of recycled aggregates may have influence on the modification efficiency since microbes are often sensitive to the...journal article 2024

Mylonas, Akis (author)In the Netherlands, yearly 33 Mton new concrete (roughly 15 billion m3) is producewhile 12 Mton concrete waste becomes available. Recycling of the yearly 12 Mton concrete waste results in roughly 7 Mton coarse recycled concrete aggregate (CRCA) and 5 Mton fine recycled concrete aggregates (fRCA). Currently, fRCA is not used in structural...master thesis 2021

Dong, H. (author), Yao, X. (author), Burgmann, S. (author), Ye, G. (author)Each year a large amount of construction and demolition waste (CDW) is generated in the European Union. For sustainability development the CDW is recycled and re-used. To promote the use of CDW, recycled aggregates from CDW were incorporated in alkali-activated concrete (AAC), which mainly consisted of secondary materials or industrial by...conference paper 2021

Gebremariam, A.T. (author), Di Maio, F. (author), Vahidi, A. (author), Rem, P.C. (author)Currently, natural resources are consumed at an alarming rate than their production (United Nations Environment Programme, 2014). This imposes unprecedented pressure on the environment. The problem seems to get worse with the present increase in population and demand for infrastructures. To alleviate these and other related problems, a circular...journal article 2020

Moreno-Juez, J. (author), Artoni, R. (author), Cazacliu, B. (author), Khoury, E. (author)The improvement of inline mixer measurements is imposed in a growing concrete industry employing increasingly complex manufacturing processes and materials. Improper mixing, water content estimation and fresh properties control are one of the most important concerns of concrete manufacturers. These problems have increased in recent decades due...conference paper 2017

Xiao, Jianzhuang (author)Abstract only. - This report firstly presents the current state of construction and demolition (C&D) waste generation in PR China. It is found that the composition of C&D waste in mainland China is much different from other countries, leading to some difficult on the aspect of waste concrete recycling. As a result, in China, some reclamation...conference paper 2017

Lotfi, Somayeh (author), Rem, Peter (author), Deja, Jan (author), Mróz, Radosław (author)The C2CA concrete recycling process consists of a combination of smart demolition, gentle grinding of the crushed concrete in an autogenous mill, and a novel dry classification technology called ADR to remove the fines. The` main factors in the C2CA process which influence the properties of Recycled Aggregates or Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC...conference paper 2017

Vrijders, Jeroen (author), Dooms, Bram (author), Van Itterbeeck, Petra (author)Although there has been extensive research and several demonstration projects in Belgium and abroad, the use of recycled aggregates in concrete is still limited in practice. Several barriers were identified: lack of practical experience, limiting standards and the need for specific quality assurance. The paper describes recent developments in...conference paper 2017

Vrijders, Jeroen (author), Wastiels, Lisa (author)The use of recycled aggregates in new structural concrete is generally considered as a measure for lowering the environmental impact of concrete. Existing literature considers transport distances and the final performance of the concrete (linked to its composition) as main influencing factors to evaluate the environmental burdens or gains when...conference paper 2017

Braymand, Sandrine (author), Roux, Sébastien (author), Deodonne, Kunwufine (author), Feugeas, Françoise (author), Fond, Christophe (author)The study presented here aims to develop the use of recycled aggregate issued of concrete in total replacement of natural materials (sand and gravel). In regard to natural aggregates, recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) contain mortar that influences theirs properties and those of concrete in which they are used (RCA). The objective of this work...conference paper 2017

Yacoub, A. (author), Djerbi Tegguer, A. (author), Fen-chong, T. (author)This paper investigates the water content of pre-saturated recycled concrete aggregates (RCA) that has a diameter of 1-4 mm called recycled sand (RS), in order to determine the degree of saturation of the RS. It also puts forward the effects of the saturation state of the RS on the mechanical properties. For this matter, experiments were...conference paper 2017
