Sustainable Disposal of Different Solid Wastes as Aggregate for Fabricating Lightweight Concrete: Physio-Mechanical Performance and Durability

Abstract:

It is crucial to utilize industrial waste and recycled bricks in concrete production, particularly in lightweight concrete, for the sake of sustainability. The objective of this investigation is to produce sustainable, durable, and structural lightweight concrete by replacing natural aggregates (dolomite and sand) with industrial waste (plastic waste) and recycled bricks (crushed lightweight bricks). Two groups of mixtures were conducted in which coarse plastic waste and coarse crushed lightweight bricks were used to partially and fully replace the coarse aggregate in the first group. In the second group, besides replacing the fine aggregate with fine crushed lightweight bricks, the coarse aggregate is also partially and completely replaced, respectively. This experimental work investigated how sustainable lightweight concrete performs in terms of dry density, compressive strength, resistance to chloride penetration, sorptivity, water permeability, and ecological impact. Based on experimental data, replacing aggregate reduced the density of lightweight concrete by up to 1400 kg/m3, lowered its compressive strength by up to 33.8 MPa upon complete replacement of the aggregate, and diminished carbon emissions by up to 2.05%. Compressive strength correlates directly with dry density and inversely with sorptivity and permeability. Investigations have concluded the potential for producing eco-friendly lightweight aggregate concrete suitable for sustainable structural applications.
