Abstract

Since its invention, concrete is the most commonly used building material in the world. However, the environmental impacts of concrete's constituents cannot be ignored. For example, 709 kg of CO2 is produced in the middle east per ton of cement while the increased demand for natural aggregates for concrete material (e.g. 48.3 billion tons in 2015) exploits natural resources. Moreover, the ceramic industry produces a total of 22 billion tons of ceramic waste on an annual basis which is mostly transferred to landfills. Additionally, the growth of landfills from waste glass is a significant problem that needs to be solved as well. Thus, this research aims to determine experimentally the efficiency of using Ceramic Waste Powder (CWP), Glass Waste (GW) and Recycled Concrete Waste (RCW) from the Construction Demolition Waste (CDW) in the production of an environmentally friendly concrete of low CO2 emission and cost-efficient. At the end of this research, it was concluded that using construction waste in the concrete mix makes producing a green concrete achievable with the advantages of high strength and low cost.
