Compressive strength and durability properties of ceramic wastes based concrete (2011, positive): “According to some authors the best way for the construction industry to become a more sustainable one is by using wastes from other industries as building materials [2, 3].”
The development of compressive strength of ground granulated blast furnace slag-palm oil fuel ash-fly ash based geopolymer mortar (2014, background): “In addition, the depletion of natural sand due to quarrying activities has already caused flooding in many parts of the world; the need for alternative materials to reduce natural sand through the use of recycling of old mortar [2–4] has also been investigated; however there have been efforts to uti”
Green Concrete: By-Products Utilization and Advanced Approaches (2019, background): “Concrete is responsible for a great impact on the environment by consuming large amount of natural resources and continually releasing approximately one ton of CO2 for each ton of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) produced [1].”
A review of steel slag usage in construction industry for sustainable development (2017, background): “The reduction of the use of Portland cement by replacing it with supplementary materials, especially if these are by-products of industrial processes or recycled materials, is one of the basic steps toward the achievement of concrete sustainability (Meyer 2009).”
Effects of internal curing on the strength, drying shrinkage and freeze–thaw resistance of concrete containing recycled concrete aggregates (2015, neutral): “Most of the observed strength loss has been attributed to RCA particles smaller than 2 mm [4,5].”
Physical, chemical and mineralogical properties of fine recycled aggregates made from concrete waste (2015, neutral): “Concrete is the most used construction material, with estimated annual production of 10 billion cubic meters [1].”
