Project Overview: Investigation on the effect of incorporating recycled materials in concrete mixes for sustainable construction applications

Concrete is one of the most widely used construction materials in the world. However, the production of concrete has significant environmental impacts due to the high consumption of natural resources and energy. To address these concerns, there has been a growing interest in incorporating recycled materials in concrete mixes to reduce the environmental footprint of concrete construction.

The aim of this project is to investigate the potential effects of incorporating recycled materials such as recycled aggregates, fly ash, and ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) in concrete mixes for sustainable construction applications. The project will explore the technical feasibility, mechanical properties, durability, and environmental benefits of using recycled materials in concrete.

The project will involve laboratory experiments to evaluate the performance of concrete mixes with varying proportions of recycled materials. Tests will be conducted to assess the compressive strength, tensile strength, flexural strength, and durability of the concrete samples. The project will also investigate the impact of recycled materials on the workability, setting time, and permeability of concrete mixes.

Furthermore, the project will assess the environmental benefits of incorporating recycled materials in concrete mixes, including reduced energy consumption, lower carbon emissions, and decreased landfill waste. Life cycle assessment (LCA) techniques will be employed to quantify the environmental impacts of using recycled materials in concrete construction.

The findings of this project will provide valuable insights into the feasibility and benefits of incorporating recycled materials in concrete mixes for sustainable construction applications. The results will help in promoting the adoption of environmentally friendly practices in the construction industry and contribute to the development of more sustainable infrastructure projects.
