 Introduction

 The construction industry is responsible for generating construction and

demolition (C&D) waste of approximately 40-50% of the total amount
of waste.

 Demolition wastes are heavy, bulky, and have high density and take up
loads of land and space.

 These wastes can be used as landfill, base or sub base in road

construction, embankment fill, and railway ballast and most
importantly in aggregate replacement for the formation of concrete
blocks.
 Introduction

 Among the above options, using construction and demolition waste as a

construction material ensures efficient and sustainable use of the waste.

 The C&D waste can be used both as a fine and coarse aggregate to
replace natural aggregate for production of concrete .

 Glass powder is also a recycling material, which has a significant

binding property, has been utilized as an enchanting material to replace
cement.
 Literature Review
 Avinash More et al. (2018): The waste materials are used in an effective way for
making blocks. The environmental pollution also reduces. Blocks manufactured using
C&D waste are light in weight. As percentage of waste increases water absorption
increases.
 Asif Husain, and Majid Matouq Assas (2013): Water absorption increases from
1.5% (for 100% fresh new aggregate) to 4.6% (for 100% dismantled aggregate) and
impact value tests on aggregates allow only 20% of dismantled aggregate.
 Basha Fayissa, and Anteneh Geremew (2018): As the percentage of recycled coarse
aggregate was increased the compressive strength and the slump of the concrete
decreased correspondingly.
 Hongjian Du and Kiang Hwee Tan (2014):The concrete compressive strength was
not decreased by the cement substitution if the replacement is below 30%, and also
high performance concrete could be achieved by using glass powder as 15% additive.
 Objectives

 To study the physical properties of natural and recycled

aggregates.
 Toinvestigate the compressive strength of recycled concrete
block
 To compare the conventional and recycled concrete block.
 Methodology
• Collection of raw materials
01 • ( C&D waste including concrete debris, Tiles, Glass powder, fresh cement, sand, water )

• Determination of physical properties of materials

02 • ( Specific Gravity, Water Absorption)

• Choosing the different mix proportions

03
• Block Casting and Curing
04 • ( Curing of block for 7,14,21,28 days )

• Laboratory and Field Test

05 • ( Compressive strength, water absorption)

• Interpretation and Comparison of research findings and results with conventional features
06
 Expected Outcome
 The compressive strength of natural aggregate concrete will be greater than that of
recycled aggregate concrete.

 But increasing the percentage of tiles in recycle aggregate it will be increased

comparative to recycled aggregate.

 Water absorption of dismantled aggregate will be relatively higher than that of

natural aggregate.

 With increase in percentage of replacement of natural aggregate by construction

and demolition waste the compressive strength of concrete block will decrease.
