TL;DR: In this paper, a life cycle assessment to compare an RCA-based portland cement concrete (RCA-PCC) pavement and a plain PCC pavement (i.e., without RCA) from all three aspects of sustainability (e.g., economic impact, social impact, and environmental impact) was carried out using an economic input-output life cycle assess (EIO-LCA) approach.
97 citations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a life cycle inventory analysis of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) in portland cement concrete (PCC) as an aggregate replacement for pavement applications.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC) mixtures under both uniaxial compression and tension was investigated and it was statistically evident that the tensile strength and the strain at the peak load under either compression or tension are positively correlated with the fiber reinforcing index (RI), while there is no sufficient evidence indicating that the modulus of elasticity and compressive strength can be correlated with RI.
84 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether partial replacement of virgin coarse aggregate by coarse RAP is a practically viable option to formulate PCC paving mixtures, and they showed that replacing virgin coarse aggregates by RAP with sufficient intermediate size particles offers the benefits of achieving dense combined aggregate gradation.

TL;DR: A global and extensive review is made here to provide an overall view of concrete sustainability in all possible paths and to open the minds of the readers to the vastly unexplored world of “green concrete”.
175 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of using recycled concrete aggregate and pozzolanic materials as a partial replacement of natural coarse aggregate (NCA) and cement, respectively, on the mechanical and permeability properties of fiber-reinforced pervious concrete mixes were investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method to improve the frost resistance of face slab concrete in cold regions in China, which is one of the most important issues in concre...
Abstract: Face slab concrete suffers from serious frost damage in the cold regions in China. How to improve the frost resistance of face slab concrete in cold regions is one of the important issues in concre...
