TL;DR: In this paper, a review on the recycling of plastic waste as aggregate in cement mortar and concrete productions is presented, which is divided into four different sections along with introduction and conclusion sections.
465 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of size and shape of recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET) aggregate on the fresh and hardened properties, including abrasion resistance, of concrete were evaluated.
336 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors analyzed the mechanical performance of concrete with recycled aggregates from construction and demolition waste (CDW) from various locations in Portugal and concluded that the use of RA worsens most of the properties tested, especially when fine RA are used.
318 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of concrete that contains rubber aggregate made from used tyres (CTA) has been studied since the early 1990s, and the results showed that 5%, 10% and 15% of the volume of natural aggregate (NA) were replaced by aggregate derived from used tires (TA).
284 citations
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of incorporating recycled aggregates, sourced from processed construction and demolition waste, on the modulus of elasticity of concrete is identified, based on the identification, appraisal, selection and synthesis of the evidence of 121 publications published over a period of 43 years from 1973 to 2015.

TL;DR: The properties of concrete is universally compatible with any devices to read, and is available in the digital library an online access to it is set as public so you can download it instantly.
Abstract: Thank you for downloading properties of concrete. As you may know, people have look hundreds times for their chosen readings like this properties of concrete, but end up in malicious downloads. Rather than reading a good book with a cup of coffee in the afternoon, instead they juggled with some malicious virus inside their computer. properties of concrete is available in our digital library an online access to it is set as public so you can download it instantly. Our digital library hosts in multiple locations, allowing you to get the most less latency time to download any of our books like this one. Merely said, the properties of concrete is universally compatible with any devices to read.

01 Jan 1994TL;DR: In this paper, a natural resource-based view of the firm is proposed, which is composed of three interconnected strategies: pollution prevention, product stewardship, and sustainable development, and each of these strategies are advanced for each of them regarding key resource requirements and their contributions to sustained competitive advantage.
Abstract: Historically, management theory has ignored the constraints imposed by the biophysical (natural) environment. Building upon resource-based theory, this article attempts to fill this void by proposing a natural-resource-based view of the firm—a theory of competitive advantage based upon the firm's relationship to the natural environment. It is composed of three interconnected strategies: pollution prevention, product stewardship, and sustainable development. Propositions are advanced for each of these strategies regarding key resource requirements and their contributions to sustained competitive advantage.
