Additional Resources for Recycling ConcreteTrade AssociationsThe Construction & Demolition Recycling Association (CDRA) is the only association devoted exclusively to the needs of the rapidly expanding North American construction & demolition debris processing and recycling industry. A CDRA document of specific interest to concrete recyclers is the 2012 white paper, “Recycled Concrete Aggregate: A Sustainable Choice for Unbound Base,” which was compiled by Cecil Jones, president, Diversified Engineering Services and retired chief materials engineer for North Carolina’s DOT. In December 2014, the association published a white paper on the environmental and economic impact of the C&D recycling industry. The paper, “The Benefits of Construction and Demolition Materials Recycling in the United States,” was assembled by a research team led by Dr. Timothy Townsend of the University of Florida. As with all CDRA white papers, these documents are available free of charge as a member benefit to those who belong to the Construction & Demolition Recycling Association. White papers are available to non-CDRA members for a fee of $500. Please contact [email protected] for more information.

ResearchThis Dutch research is on the sustainable management and use of recycled aggregates. Within the scope of this study, different concrete mixtures were manufactured to determine the influence of aggregate derived from recycled mineral building material referring to stress-strain relation of concrete. This research reviews the influence of recycled aggregate on the stress-strain relation of concrete. The Transportation Research Board’s (TRB) Research in Progress (RiP) website contains the RiP database which contains over 7,800 transportation research projects. The RiP database allows users in State DOT to add, modify and delete information on their current research projects. The use of demolished concrete as aggregate in the production of fresh concrete was investigated by the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow together with partners at La Sapienza in Rome and the Italian contractors Mabbo Appunto and Pescara.
