TL;DR: In this paper, a microwave-assisted technique to increase the quality of RCA by partially removing the mortar adhering to RCA particles and breaking up the lumps of mortar present in RCA is introduced.

TL;DR: Partial replacement of Portland cement with recycled powder (RP) obtained from construction and demolition (CD and cracking control measures should be taken) is discussed in this paper, where it is shown that RP is more effective than traditional Portland cement.

TL;DR: In this article, a framework is developed for choosing the best deconstruction strategy by analyzing the information stored in BIM database and a case study is presented to validate the procedures developed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the carbon footprint of two identical twin towers, with one tower made of recycled aggregate concrete and the other made of natural aggregate concrete, was investigated, and the results indicated that adoption of recycling aggregate concrete as structural material in the high-rise structure can result in up to about 2.175 × 105 kgCe decrease in carbon footprint in condition of this specific project.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on the findings of an experimental study on the concomitant effects of the strength of parent concrete, size of the natural aggregates used in the parent concrete and the number of crushing stages on the properties of coarse recycled concrete aggr...
