Jhab , Sudhir Misra a,∗ a Department of CE, IIT Kanpur, Kanpur 208016, India b Department of CE, IIT Delhi, New Delhi 110016, India Received 2 August 2005; received in revised form 23 April 2006; accepted 24 May 2006 Available online 7 July 2006 Abstract Construction and Demolition (CD) waste constitutes a major portion of total solid waste pro- duction in the world, and most of it is used in land fills. Research by concrete engineers has clearly suggested the possibility of appropriately treating and reusing such waste as aggregate in new con- crete, especially in lower level applications. This paper discusses different aspects of the problem beginning with a brief review of the international scenario in terms of CD waste generated, recycled aggregates (RA) produced from CD waste and their utilization in concrete and governmental ini- tiatives towards recycling of CD waste. Along with a brief overview of the engineering properties of recycled aggregates, the paper also gives a summary of the effect of use of recycled aggregate on the properties of fresh and hardened concrete. The paper concludes by identifying some of the major barriers in more widespread use of RA in recycled aggregate concrete (RAC), including lack of awareness, lack of government support, non-existence of specifications/codes for reusing these aggregates in new concrete. © 2006 Elsevier B.V.
