Download or read book Sandy Materials in Civil Engineering written by Saeed Nemati and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2020-07-22 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the world moves further into urbanization, there is a greater need for construction materials to meet society’s needs. As natural resources become scarce, the use of recycled materials for construction purposes has become increasingly common. Over the past decade, there has been a significant increase in the utilization of recycled materials in the construction industry. This will result in substantial advantages in structure and infrastructure construction coupled with a reduction in the construction cost, as well as improving sustainability. However, significant development limitations and many relevant considerations must be addressed when using recycled materials in construction. This book introduces innovative and alternative construction materials used in civil engineering.

Download or read book A Review on the Usage of Recycled Sand in the Construction Industry written by Parappallil Meeran Rawther Salim and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The construction industry requires natural sand for many applications. The recycled sand obtained from industrial operations can also be utilized in construction activities. Many industries generate waste sand as a byproduct. The material generated from this discarded molds and cores is usually known as ,Äúused foundry sand,,Äù ,Äúwaste foundry sand,,Äù or ,Äúspent foundry sand.,Äù A vast quantity of used foundry sand is generating and heaping globally in a day-by-day manner. In this review article, an attempt is made to explore the characteristics and various utilizations of this recycled sand from the foundry industry as a valuable resource material in construction activities. From the analysis of the multiple types of research done so far on the reuse of waste foundry sand, it is found that the waste foundry sand is reusable in different civil engineering applications with added advantages. The advantageous applications of used foundry sand are ranging from the road base material to the substitute to fine aggregate in high-performance self-compacting concrete. More generally used foundry sand in the range of 10,Äì30% is best suitable as a partial substitute to regular sand in mortar and concrete making. The use of recycled sand such as waste foundry sand in the construction industry can not only eliminate the problems of waste management and environmental impacts but also substantially boost up the sustainable developmental activities by way of reducing the consumption of natural resources.
