The possible use of sewage sludge ash (SSA) in the construction industry as a way towards a circular economy
TL;DR: A detailed description of each application as a way towards a circular economy is presented in this paper, where the use of sewage sludge ash for the building materials manufacturing, such as produce bricks and tiles, as raw materials for cement production, as aggregates for concrete and mortar, as a component of the synthesis of lightweight materials and as substitute for sand and/or cement in cement stabilized bases, subbases and embankments in road constuctions.

An environmental evaluation of geopolymer based concrete production: reviewing current research trends
TL;DR: In this article, the authors carried out a detailed environmental evaluation of geopolymer concrete production using the Life Cycle Assessment methodology and found that the production of most standard types of OPC concrete has a slightly lower impact on global warming than standard Ordinary Portland Cement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Project feasibility study: the key to successful implementation of sustainable and socially responsible construction management practice
TL;DR: In this article, a new approach for conducting project feasibility study by embracing the principles of sustainable development is introduced, and the importance of incorporating sustainable development principles in conducting feasibility study is not effectively understood by project stakeholders.

Effect of waste marble dust content as filler on properties of self-compacting concrete
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of waste marble dust (MD) usage as filler material on capillarity properties of self-compact concrete (SCC) is investigated. And the results showed that the workability of fresh SCC has not been affected up to 200 kg/m3 MD content.

Use of waste marble aggregates in concrete
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate the possibility of using marble wastes as a substitute rather than natural aggregates in concrete production and demonstrate the mechanical properties of concrete specimens produced using the marble wastes.
