Solid waste is a big threatens to the earth. To avoid this solid waste dumping in the earth, it is necessary to find some alternates to reduce quantity of waste mass.

Several reports discussed about the possible and cost effective methods to utilize the solid waste in various areas. In civil engineering, numerous researchers working to make use of solid waste in construction field, especially in concrete making.

Akash rao et al (2007) reported the use of aggregates from recycled construction and demolition waste in concrete. Construction and Demolition (C&D) waste constitutes a major portion of total solid waste production in the world, and most of it is used in landfills. The paper concludes some of the major barriers in more widespread use of RA in recycled aggregate concrete (RAC), including lack of awareness, lack of government support, non-existence of specifications/codes for reusing these aggregates in new concrete. When coarse recycled aggregate is used with natural sand, it may be assumed at the design stage, that the free w/c ratio required for a certain compressive strength will be the same for RAC as for conventional concrete. Use of recycled aggregates in concrete provides a promising solution to the problem of C&D waste …show more content…

Strength was negatively up to 10% replacement of sand in 0-15% was analysed, and bottom ash does not fulfil the standard requirement in concrete. The replacement of bottom ash by 5% increases the strength and it decreases from the replacement of 10%.

Abdullah shahbaz khan et al (2014) reported about the hypo sludge as a partial replacement of cement in m20, m30 grade of concrete. The replacement of cement used in the range of 0-30% . The mould was casted and used for cubes, cylinder and flexural beam. After final setting time, test in compressive strength on cubes was analysed. The results shown on 0 and 20% replacement of cement showed an equal strength, but the strength increase in 10% and strength decrease in 30%.

Marble dust powder was used as a partial replacement of cement and analysed by Prof.p.a.shirukle et al. Marble powder replacement of cement in 10% showed the initial strength is high. Then the strength has been

  • Food Waste In America Essay

    1195 Words  | 5 Pages

    In the US, 40% of food produced, or approximately 365 million pounds of food, is wasted each day. Food waste, however, is a problem that extends beyond America, affecting billions of people as a global issue. The overwhelming amounts of food that are being discarded contribute to global warming and climate change, and prevent the massive number of hungry people from being able to eat nourishing meals. Humanity as a whole must be more mindful of the Earth and its health, as we are the source which most directly affect it. Due to the profound environmental impacts of food waste, a reduction in the amount disposed is necessary to create a more sustainable environment, and humans have a responsibility to protect the planet, even if it requires drastic changes to the current food system.

    Industrial and capital hubs in developing countries are similarly characterized by multiple urban sprawls, informal settlements and overcrowding. The local governments or municipalities in many developing countries are highly challenged by mainly poor or weak policy and legislative provisions to regulate and enforce waste management guidelines. They also lack adequate funding and the correct capacity in terms of waste management personnel. All these challenges lead to situations where these local authorities are failing to take effective decisions with regards to solid waste management. It is worth noting that the decisions which municipalities are facing in terms of managing solid waste are not only difficult and capital intensive but they impact greatly on the natural environment as well as on social lives of people, therefore solutions to this issue are a matter of
