Abstract
The building industry is heavily dependent on natural resources. Construction and demolition waste are the main problems. Reusing construction and demolition wastes helps the construction industry address economic and environmental issues. Discussing the possibilities of substituting recycled aggregate for natural aggregate in structural concrete, performance enhancement of recycled concrete aggregate from various sources is done in this article. with a focus on enhancing the performance of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) from various sources. Factors such as the mechanical strength and durability of RCA are thoroughly investigated. The study also examines the effectiveness of incorporating additives like silica fume and basalt fiber to further improve the durability of recycled concrete. Highlighting the importance of using high-quality recycled aggregate and suitable modification treatments such as pozzolan slurries, fly ash, and nano-SiO2 solutions. By utilizing recycled aggregate, the construction industry can create stronger and more sustainable concrete structures.
