Use of recycled mixed aggregates in floor blocks manufacturing

The roadmap proposed by the European Community states that construction and demolition wastes (C&DW) should be managed by 2020 as resources reincorporated into the production system as raw material. Within this framework, this study addresses the reuse of a type of waste that does not come from building demolition, as is usual, but from concrete and ceramic wastes generated by precast production facilities. The objective is to use mixed recycled aggregates in order to reuse them in the production of new prefabricated elements. The study has focused on the production of concrete floor blocks used in slabs for the construction sector.
