Abstract

There has been rapid growth in the generation and unmanaged disposal of construction and demolition waste. Recycling of the fast-growing construction and demolition waste is the need of the hour. Moreover illegal sand mining and earth excavation for aggregates are also global burning issues. The use of recycled sand and aggregates from construction and demolition waste offers a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution for the construction industry. Our primary aim is to study about the different mechanical properties of construction and demolition waste and assessment of its feasibility to be used in paver blocks production so that the recycling processes can be designed accordingly for optimum efficiency.
