The Recycle Demolished Concrete from Community Construction Sites to be used as Processed Concrete Sheets for Pavement

Abstract

This is a study of ways to recycle demolished concrete from community construction sites to be used as processed concrete sheets for pavement. The aims were to add values to fragments of construction materials by transforming them into processed concrete sheets for pavement and then to study those processed concrete sheets produced from 4 formulas regarding their properties according to the industrial standards. The study found that all samples from four formulas passed the test criteria for their final dimension and hardened concrete properties. In addition, formula 3 passed the final dimension, hardened concrete properties, and weight. The sample processed concrete slabs were paved and tested in a household compound. The paving slabs were found useable and equal to commercial products in qualities.

The study found that concrete debris from demolished construction materials can be used as pavement sheets for general household uses so that community members can reduce outgoing solid rubbish and save cost in concrete sheets for pavement.
