Carbon-Efficient Concrete Mixes using Recycled and Secondary Aggregates with LCA Insights Akshayakumar Hanagodimath, Sreenivas Padala, Rajashekhar Swamy Paper Asia, 2025 Incorporating recycled materials into concrete presents a viable strategy for enhancing sustainability in construction. Ceramic tile waste (CTW), a hard-to-dispose by-product from construction activity, represents a critical environmental concern due to its non-biodegradable nature and landfill burden. This work evaluates M30 grade concrete prepared with 30% Recycled Coarse Aggregate (RCA) and 30% Ceramic Tile Waste (CTW) as partial replacements for natural coarse aggregate. Three concrete mixes—control, RCA-30%, and CTW-30%—were evaluated through mechanical tests, selective durability tests (only for RCA), and environmental assessment using Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) across real-time construction case studies. Mechanical testing showed that RCA concrete achieved a 28-day compressive strength of 36.50 MPa, flexural strength of 4.52 MPa, and split tensile strength of 3.85 MPa, satisfying IS 456:2000 performance requirements. The CTW mix attained 31.19 MPa compressive, 4.44 MPa flexural, and 3.87 MPa tensile strength, indicating adequate performance for secondary structural elements. Durability assessments, conducted for RCA mixes, revealed strength losses of 7.95% in acid, 14.55% in chloride, and 14.58% in sulphate environments, alongside low permeability and retained integrity at 600°C. Environmental impact was quantified using both manual lifecycle calculations and One Click LCA software. Results demonstrated a 20.2% reduction in energy consumption and CO₂ emission savings of 22.4% for commercial and 20.6% for residential structures. The findings confirm RCA’s structural and environmental suitability (94% compressive strength retention, CO₂ savings up to 22.4%), while CTW showed acceptable strength for non-structural applications.
Integrated Analysis of Construction and Demolition Waste Management in India: Quantitative and Qualitative Perspectives for Sustainable Development Akshayakumar Hanagodimath, Sreenivas Padala, Rajashekhar Swamy Paper Asia, 2025 In order to minimize the environmental effects of urban infrastructure developments, this research emphasizes the improvement of the management of Construction and Demolition (C and D) waste. This study adopts a dual analytical framework comprising quantitative and qualitative methodologies. The quantitative component involves empirical data collection from highway and building construction sites to measure waste types and volumes. The qualitative component engages construction professionals through structured surveys to explore behavioural, procedural, and regulatory factors influencing waste management practices. Together, these approaches provide a holistic understanding of Construction and Demolition (C and D) waste dynamics in India. The responses for the questionnaire survey of 180 construction industry professionals were processed through a statistical analysis package. The results emphasized on Construction and Demolition (C and D) waste management practices to be implemented and awareness has to be disseminated among the construction industry professionals. Also, the results show that enhancing the effectiveness of Construction and Demolition (C and D) waste management systems requires region-specific approaches that are adapted to local policy and regulatory frameworks. The study emphasizes the significance of implementing optimization strategies that concentrate on minimizing waste generation at its source in addition to increasing waste segregation and recycling rates. With the objective of helping global efforts to minimize the environmental impact of building activities, these techniques are essential for integrating construction practices with sustainable development goals. The results support the development of proactive approaches and the integration of context-sensitive waste management techniques that are adaptable to adjust to changing regulatory frameworks and technological advancements.
