121· Sand and gravel are the world’s most exploited resources, even surpassing fossil fuels; they are mostly used for producing concrete. On the one hand, due to restrictions on the use of river sand in some regions of the world to conserve riverbeds, the demand for alternative fine aggregates in the construction sector has risen dramatically. The disposal of …
111· Natural river sand is preferred as fine aggregate. A large percentage of concrete comprises fine aggregates and hence river sand is over-mined due to the higher demand in the construction sector. Mining of natural river sand affects river banks and is banned in many countries. Earlier studies suggested recycled aggregates as an alternative to river sand. …
20171215· Concrete is the most extensively used construction material in the world, second to water. Increasing rate of urbanization and industrialization has lead to over exploitation of natural resources such as river sand and gravels, which is giving rise to sustainability issues. It has now become imperative to look for alternatives of constituent materials of concrete. Waste …
