Abstract



The study investigates the feasibility of using demolished construction waste as aggregate in concrete production. Various properties of the waste aggregates were analyzed, including specific gravity and water absorption. Mix designs were formulated to incorporate different percentages of replaced demolished waste, and workability and compressive strength tests were conducted on the resulting concrete. The study found that increasing the percentage of replaced waste negatively impacted workability, but certain replacements showed comparable compressive strengths. The research highlights the potential benefits of recycling construction waste, contributing to sustainable construction practices and resource conservation.
