With the growth of the global population, two major problems have emerged. Firstly, a significant amount of domestic and industrial waste is discarded and placed in landfills. Secondly, there is a necessity for more construction and building materials. This research discusses the use of alternative green resources for construction materials taken from recycled organic waste, which represents more than 60% of the total waste generated by humans. Results showed that, after incineration at 750 °C, the reminder represented less than 15% of the original mass of the waste. The waste was separated into five groups: bottom ash (BA) powder, this part represented 5% of the reminder after incineration (for replacing cement); sand; and fine, medium and coarse aggregates. The powder underwent a pozzolanic reaction and the optimum replacement was 10% for the powder, 30% for the sand, and 10% for the fine, medium, and coarse aggregates. A higher compressive strength was applied to the medium aggregate replacement and a lower one for the fine aggregate. In general, BA can be used as an aggregate replacement as the powder undergoes a pozzolanic reaction and can used as a replacement for cement.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
