Effect of Construction Wastes as Coarse Aggregates in Cement Concrete: A Review

Abstract

The global economy depends on the building industry. Rapid building growth creates global worries about waste. Construction and demolition waste (CDW) negatively affect costs, energy, productivity, the environment, and society. Planning and storing building trash may reduce these harmful consequences. On local construction sites, waste, poor site management, and resource loss are common. The way a structure is built, how materials and equipment are transported, how employees behave, how a firm is handled, how the site is set up, and how resources are procured all contribute to construction waste, which in turn contributes significantly to the degradation of the environment due to indiscriminate disposals. This study takes a look at the mechanical properties of CDW while conducting the research, credible academic sources were located on Google Scholar, SCOPUS, the Web of Science, IEEE Xplore, and Science Direct. The publications were narrowed down to only those that were most relevant to the study's aims. After reviewing these, the authors focused on just the 49 journal articles, 15 related books, and 7 government publications that were most relevant to the research.
