Sustainable Development of Concrete through Aggregates and Innovative Materials: A Review

The use of concrete in civil infrastructure is highly demanded structural and nonstructural elements. However, the high production could lead to severe pollution world. This can be decreased using sustainable materials mixed with cement obtain concrete. These include reinforcing fibers (e.g., steel, polypropylene, carbon fibers), recycled tire rubber, crushed glass, plastic, industrial waste) as well organic inorganic elements aggregates reinforcement construction reduce amount constitutive required for constructions. In addition, some added improve properties concrete, like compressive flexural strength Thus, maintenance requirements or early replacement these decreased. review presents recent investigations about performance different types. we effects on mechanical caused by incorporation several materials. recommendations testing are reported. have potential applications future smart cities.
