The Use of Recycled Tire Rubber, Crushed Glass, and Crushed Clay Brick in Lightweight Concrete Production: A Review

Worldwide, vast amounts of waste are produced every year and most is sent directly to landfills or burnt, which has severe harmful impacts on the environment. Recycling materials considered visible solution protect Using scraps in concrete production a proper method for getting rid wastes, improving characteristics concrete, reducing consumption natural aggregates, can be used as cementitious that decrease cement so CO2 during manufacturing decreases. This review paper summarizes use recycled materials, including rubber tires, crushed glass, clay brick fractional replacement cement, etc., develop eco-friendly lightweight construction materials. It been concluded dry density sustainable decreased 4, 21.7, 31.7% when brick, tire were incorporated into instead traditional aggregate, respectively. Waste good results sulfate, thermal, impact resistance, while glass powder finely helped improve mechanical properties by increasing reach 33% slight increase well thermal resistance compared normal concrete. Moreover, due low particle these normal-weight utilized efficiently produce structural non-structural applications such road engineering, flooring mounting machinery, highway rail crash barriers, permeable pavement, interlocking bricks, insulation, filling bearing walls.
