Development of Sustainable High-Performance Concrete Using Recycled Materials

Abstract

Construction activities represent a primary source that releases carbon emissions while depleting natural resources on a worldwide scale. The construction industry explores sustainable high-performance concrete (HPC) with recycled materials to solve environmental problems. Researchers examine whether recycled aggregates coupled with industrial by-products together with supplementary cementitious materials can create HPC that demonstrates better mechanical properties and durability. This investigation studies the effects that different recycled ingredients produce on concrete workability alongside compressive strength characteristics and durability traits. The findings show how embedding recycled materials in concrete projects generates better performance than standard HPC with reduced environmental effects. The research adds value to green construction methods by introducing sustainable concrete alternatives.
