Abstract

The shortage of natural aggregates and regulations regarding river sand has forced the construction industry to look for the alternative. The availability of demolished concrete for use as recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) increasing. Using the waste concrete as RCA conserves natural aggregate reduce the impact on landfill decrease energy consumption and can provide cost saving. Recycled aggregate are the materials for the future. The main cause of concern is the non-renewable nature of natural sand and the corresponding increasing demand of construction industry. River sand which is one of the basic ingredient in the manufacture of concrete has become highly scarce and necessity. Hence the crusher dust which is also known as robo sand can be used as an alternative material for river sand. Robo sand possess similar properties as that river sand and hence accepted as a building material.
