Abstract

Migration is generally defined as a period of time or permanent settlement of people by moving from a place of origin to another place. Throughout history, humanity has migrated due to natural disasters, religion, poverty, wars and this migration has caused urbanization with population growth. With the increase in population, irregular and excessive migration, decrease in resources, unplanned urbanization, infrastructure problems, wastewater lines, drinking water lines, rainwater collection lines, power lines, and natural gas pipelines cannot be delivered to desired places, traffic, and excessive waste generation increased. Therefore environmental pollution and health problems arise in cities. Today, due to the adverse environmental impact of all these, people have become more sensitive and have tended to find solutions to the problem with areas such as sustainable structures, recycling, and reuse of waste. In this study, the studies and gains made with the recycling aggregate used are evaluated in order to produce solutions for environmental pollution caused by the construction sector.

Highlights

Migration can be defined as the movement of human or human communities from one place to another
In the report published by the United Nations Environment Program, it is stated that more than 33% of the world's total energy consumption is spent for the constant needs of buildings
In this study on sustainable highway pavement, the environmental and economic sustainability of the recycled aggregate (RCA) and normal aggregate (NA) concrete used throughout its life cycle was evaluated [16]

Summary

Introduction

Migration can be defined as the movement of human or human communities from one place to another. With the sudden increase in population in the cities receiving migration, problems occur in housing, health, education, superstructure and infrastructure transportation services It causes problems such as increase in air, water, soil pollution, and increase in fuel and garbage waste. More than 6 billion tons of concrete is produced annually in the world Parallel to this production, the sector has a high impact on the environment due to the consumption of natural resources and high amount of energy. The use of recycled aggregate in concrete is thought to be one of the most effective methods that can reduce carbon emissions, ensure the sustainability of natural resources and reduce costs. It is seen that with a better recycling technology, recycling aggregate production can be even more efficient in the superstructure [14]
