Behaviour of concrete with lightweight aggregates derived from E-waste
Lightweight concrete is typically produced using lightweight aggregates, which are generally costlier than conventional crushed rock aggregates. Alternatively, aggregates may be derived from waste plastics. This paper presents a new method of developing lightweight aggregates from electronic waste (E-waste) scrap. This...

Evaluation of Mechanical and Durability Performance of Concrete with and Without Surface-Treated Plastic Fine Aggregates
Global plastic waste generation and excessive sand extraction are major environmental challenges, but replacing fine aggregate with plastic waste often degrades concrete performance. This work characterizes concrete incorporating recycled HDPE and PET fine aggregates at a 10% volumetric replacement level, with and with...

Mechanical and thermal properties of concrete with partial replacement of fine aggregates by glass and rubber wastes
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the mechanical and thermal performance of concrete containing waste glass fine aggregate (GFA) and rubber fine aggregate (RFA) as partial replacements for natural sand. The main goal is to explore how combined glass and rubber contents affect the strength, weight loss and po...

Recycled Aggregate Concrete: Performance, Durability & Sustainability
Both construction and demolition (C&D) activity and the production of concrete rely on huge amounts of natural sand and gravel. The use of Recycled Aggregate Concrete (RAC) with Recycled Aggregate (RA) from C&D waste could provide a pathway to addressing both pressures simultaneously. This review gathers and aggregates...
