Use of recycled plastic in concrete: A review
TL;DR: The effect of recycled and waste plastic on bulk density, air content, workability, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, modulus of elasticity, impact resistance, permeability, and abrasion resistance is discussed in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative environmental assessment of natural and recycled aggregate concrete.
TL;DR: It is concluded that utilization of RAC for low-to-middle strength structural concrete and non-aggressive exposure conditions is technically feasible and the environmental impacts are slightly larger for RAC than for NAC but the total environmental impacts depend on the natural and recycled aggregates transport distances and on transport types.

Value-added Utilisation of Waste Glass in Concrete
Ahmad Shayan,Aimin Xu +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a fine glass powder (GLP) was used for incorporation into concrete as a pozzolanic material to suppress the alkali reactivity of coarser glass particles as well as that of natural reactive aggregates.

Properties of concrete pedestrian block mixed with crumb rubber
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of crumb rubber to replace coarse and fine aggregates in concrete pedestrian block was studied and it is believed that concrete acting as a binder mixed with crumbs rubber can make concrete blocks more flexible and thus, provide softness to the surface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Investigation into Waste Tire Rubber-Filled Concrete
TL;DR: In this article, a modified three-layer built-in composite model was proposed based on a previous study on ordinary concrete and finite element analysis was conducted on the developed composite model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fracture Mechanics of ASR in Concretes with Waste Glass Particles of Different Sizes
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed a micromechanical fracture theory that explains the reversal of particle size effect in the accelerated 2-week test by two opposing mechanisms: (1) the extent of chemical reaction as a function of surface area, which causes the strength to decrease with a decreasing particle size; and (2) the size effect of the cracks produced by expansion of the ASR gel.
