Experimental Study of the Construction and Demolition Waste Used in Rigid Pavements

Abstract

Today, the aim of the researchers is to find best available materials for construction. People are searching for material that are environment friendly, provide high strength and are easily available. Researchers are searching for alternatives of the traditionally used material as the increase in the construction industry demand has now also challenged the availability of material. On the other hand, people are finding way to use the waste material in different industries, and using construction and demolition waste is our main aim for this project. In this study, we have replaced the normal aggregates with the construction and demolition waste if different percentages. In mix-1, we have used 100% normal aggregates. In mix-2, we have replaced 15% normal aggregates with the recycled aggregates. In mix-3, we have replaced 30% normal aggregates with recycled aggregates. In mix-4, we have replaced 45% normal aggregates with recycled aggregates. In mix-5, we have replaced 60% normal aggregates with recycled aggregates.
