Concrete is the most commonly used construction material in the world over the past decades. But the increase in concrete production leads to an increase in greenhouse gases emission and environmental damage. With the current focus on sustainability, it is necessary to evaluate concretes environmental impact and develop new materials for green concrete. Green recycled aggregates and mineral admixtures are important component materials for green concrete. In this paper, the development of green concrete industry is introduced, and the application of materials for green concrete such as green recycled aggregates and mineral admixtures are discussed.

Every year, there is a considerable increase in the exploitation of deposits to supply the market for aggregates. On the other hand, so does the production of solid waste from construction and demolition waste (CDW). In 2010 Brazil approved the PNRS (National Policy on Solid Waste), which sets out how the country should have their waste, encouraging recycling and sustainability. As an alternative to the above problem, this paper aims to investigate the feasibility of partial and total replacement of the asphalt concrete aggregates by recycled aggregates from CDW in order to reduce the environmental impacts caused by the operation of quarries and give an adequate final destination the residue produced by man in construction. Were carried out five (05) projects mixture of: the first (parameter of our research) used only natural aggregates (0% CDW) in the second, third and fourth replaced 25%, 50% and 75% respectively of natural aggregate by the recycled aggregate and the fifth and last, used only recycled aggregates (100% CDW). They carried out the characterization of the aggregates by means of physico-chemical and mechanical, analyzing them with reference based on specific standards paving. For mixtures, they calculated the volumetric parameters and performed mechanical tests of tensile strength and stability. The results indicate that the recycled aggregate, in a defined proportion, can replace the natural aggregate in the flexible pavements

This research paper aims at investigating the effects of fly ash as cement replacement in green concrete made with partial replacement of conventional coarse aggregates with coarse aggregates from demolishing waste. Green concrete developed with waste materials is an active area of research as it helps in reducing the waste management issues and protecting the environment. Six concrete mixes were prepared using 1:2:4 ratio and demolishing waste was used in equal proportion with conventional aggregates, whereas fly ash was used from 0%-10% with an increment of 2.5%. The water-cement ratio used was equal to 0.5. Out of these mixes, one mix was prepared with all conventional aggregates and was used as the control, and one mix with 0% fly ash had only conventional and recycled aggregates. The slump test of all mixes was determined. A total of 18 cylinders of standard size were prepared and cured for 28 days. After curing the compressive strength of the specimens was evaluated under gradually increasing load until failure. It is observed that 5% replacement of cement with fly ash and 50% recycled aggregates gives better results. With this level of dosage of two waste materials, the reduction in compressive strength is about 11%.

Recycled aggregates have high water absorption and crushing index. In order to improve the properties of recycled aggregates in concrete production, various treatments were used to modify the aggregates. In recent years, bio-deposition as a new treatment method of recycled aggregates was environmentally friendly. An improved method of bio-deposition was implemented to modify the properties of recycled mortar aggregates (RMA). O-bio-deposition is based on aerobic bacteria induced CaCO3 precipitation by respiration by varying the distance between the RMA and the bottom of the container and by adding an oxygen release compound to the culture solution that contains bacteria to promote the induction of CaCO3. First, the physical properties, including water absorption, crushing value, and apparent density, of the coarse RMA under different treatment methods were determined, and an o-bio-deposition treatment method was obtained. The fine RMA was treated and compared with the untreated RMA. Concretes were then prepared from the treated coarse RMA, and compressive strength and slump were determined. In addition, the effect of the o-bio-deposition treatment on the RMA surface and the micro-cracks of concretes were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that the water absorption and crushing index of the coarse RMA treated by o-bio-deposition were reduced by 40.38 and 19.76% compared with untreated RMA, respectively. Regarding the concrete, the slump and the compressive strength (28 d) of concrete were increased by 115% and 25.3%, respectively compared with the untreated concrete.

Application of recycled aggregates (RA) for concrete production is limited due to their poor quality. While the environmental benefits of using the RA are well accepted, some unsolved problems prevent this type of material from wide application in structural concrete. The research and development of techniques which can minimize the adverse effect of RA on the concrete properties are highly requested. A specific mixing approach can also be helpful; here, mineral additives play a significant role for improvement of RA performance within the mixing process. However, delivery process can influence the homogeneity and uniformity of the concrete mixtures, resulting in negative effect on technical parameters. In this study, the impact of delivery time (0 min, 45 min, and 90 min) on the set of hardened concrete properties is presented while the three-stage mixing is used. Two kinds of additives—fly ash (FA) and recycled concrete powder (RCP)—were tested to coat the coarse fraction of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) in the first step of mixing. For comparison, cement as coating material and natural aggregate instead the RCA were also used. The following parameters were tested after 28 days of setting and hardening: density, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength, water absorption capacity, and depth of penetration of water under pressure. Generally, 90 min of working with concrete mixtures left no significantly negative influence on tested characteristics. Based on ANOVA results, with prolonged discharge time, the changes in composition of the mixtures become less important for compressive strength, density, and water absorption.
