Recycled Aggregate Concrete Hollow Block as a Sustainable Walling Material
Ever-increasing construction projects in India and all over the world had a tremendous impact on the natural habitat by exploring the natural resource. For such activities meanwhile, construction practices generate huge proportion of construction and demolition waste. As a result, there is a need to compute the environmental impacts of construction materials (CDW) and to develop minimization strategies. This study has been carried out to ascertain sustainability and to reuse, recycle the CDW constituents like recycled concrete aggregates and coal ash replacing natural coarse aggregates (NCA) and cement respectively. In terms of stability, the compressive strength of circular and rectangular recycled concrete hollow blocks is measured by varying different percentage compositions of recycled coarse aggregates (RCA) and coal ash. The strength, grade properties of the recycled concrete hollow block is evaluated per code 1S2185:2005. To relate with the environmental impacts embodied energy and embodied carbon emission of each hollow block is calculated based on Inventory of Carbon and Energy database.
