Lecture 5 - Sustainable Construction Materials - Recycled Aggregates

RECYCLED AGGREGATES – Sustainable Solution for Construction Waste | Civil Engineering

Construction & Demolition (C&D) waste is one of the largest waste streams in the construction industry. ♻️
In this video, we explore Recycled Aggregates as a practical and sustainable solution to convert construction waste into valuable construction material.

This session is part of our Sustainable Construction Materials Series and is designed for students, engineers, academicians, and industry professionals.

📌 In this video, you will learn:

✔ What recycled aggregates are
✔ Sources and production process of recycled aggregates
✔ Physical properties and engineering behavior
✔ Advantages and limitations compared to natural aggregates
✔ IS & IRC code provisions governing recycled aggregates
✔ Applications in roads, pavements, and concrete works
✔ Role of recycled aggregates in sustainability and circular economy

🏗 Applications Covered:

• Road sub-base and base layers
• Pavements and footpaths
• Non-structural concrete
• Kerbs, blocks, and embankments
• Backfilling and C&D waste utilization

🌱 Why Recycled Aggregates Matter:

• Reduces landfill and dumping of construction waste
• Conserves natural aggregates and river sand
• Supports circular economy in construction
• Lowers environmental impact and carbon footprint

🎓 Students – Understand sustainable construction materials
👷 Engineers – Learn practical applications and code compliance
🏢 Industry Professionals – Adopt responsible and eco-friendly practices
