Recycled aggregates from construction and demolition waste in the production of concrete blocks (2020)
Journal Article
Ferriz-Papi, J., & Thomas, S. (2020). Recycled aggregates from construction and demolition waste in the production of concrete blocks. Journal of Construction Materials, 2(1), https://doi.org/10.36756/JCM.v2.1.6

The construction industry generates large amounts of waste, usually mixed, which can be composed of
different origin materials, most of them catalogued as non-hazardous. The European Union targets for
this waste for 2020 have been already achieved... Read More about Recycled aggregates from construction and demolition waste in the production of concrete blocks.
