Use of Concrete Debris

Abstract:

The debris generated by the 16 A Ecuador earthquake was mainly concrete waste that was infrastructure before the catastrophe and due to the great magnitude of the earthquake collapsed generating a large amount of waste. 1 Concrete is one of the most used materials by the human being for construction, almost 80% of civil constructions are made with concrete either simple or as reinforced concrete; then you can understand the reason why so many are generated waste that has as a base element the concrete. Many have already been organizations that are concerned about generating models for recovery and use of this type of waste. Due to a large amount of waste presented, it is estimated that each year, in Europe alone, 1300 million tons of concrete waste is generated, 2 then it is understandable that the same producers and distributors of concrete organizations worry about recycling it. In countries such as Germany, the United States, Belgium, the United Arab Emirates, the Netherlands and Japan it is very common to use concrete waste. 3 As it is a new field of application in our country, this means that a series of analyzes must be carried out and the research presented will only focus on testing or disapproving the technical feasibility of its use as a subbase for asphalt pavements. It is needed further studies to approve it's environmental, economic and safety feasibility. Currently, work is being done to update the Environmental Standard NADF-007-RNAT-2013 that establishes the classification and management specifications for the RCD. In this last version the standard provides a classification of the RCD and provides the possible uses …
