Abstract

The chapter delves into the critical issue of construction and demolition waste (C&D waste) and its sustainable utilization in low volume road construction. It begins by discussing the environmental concerns associated with C&D waste and the necessity for sustainable disposal methods. The focus then shifts to the experimental study of recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) in concrete mixes, examining its physical characteristics, compressive strength, and workability compared to natural aggregates. The study highlights the potential of RCA to replace natural aggregates up to 50% without significantly compromising concrete strength, thereby promoting a circular economy and reducing the environmental footprint of the construction industry. The chapter concludes by emphasizing the economic, environmental, and social benefits of incorporating C&D waste in road construction, encouraging further research and practical application in the field.
