“COMPARISON OF STRENGTH PARAMETERS BY REPLACEMENT OF FINE AGGREGATES WITH CRUSHED C&D WASTES IN CONCRETE”

Abstract

Waste material which is generated during construction and demolition include a mixture of
masonry waste (brick, sand, gravel, and stone), concrete waste etc. Reuse of these waste material by
converting them into aggregates that can be used for construction activities. This reduces extraction of
natural aggregates and saves landfill space. The concept of sustainable construction implies recycling of
waste materials obtained from demolition of structures/buildings. Such demolition waste can be crushed to
the required sizes and partially replaced with natural aggregates in construction.
