Recycled concrete means that you crush or pulverize the demolished concrete structure or structural elements and reuse the crushed concrete for future concrete construction works. Now, this …
Concrete recycling plays a critical role in conserving natural resources. By reprocessing and reusing concrete from demolished structures, the demand for new raw materials, such as gravel, sand, and water, is significantly reduced. This conservation is vital in the context of rapidly depleting natural resources.
A study showed that carbon footprint of urban buildings increased from 8.95 million tons in 2005 to 13.57 million tons in 2009, and that 45% of CO 2 resulted from building material production whereas 40% of CO 2 resulted from building energy in Xiamen, China [].Another study indicated that life-cycle carbon emission of a five-story brick …
