Structural behavior of reinforced concrete using recycled construction materials
Abstract
Construction industries increasingly consider recycled materials to reduce environmental impact. Structural engineers must evaluate how such materials affect mechanical properties of reinforced concrete. This study examines concrete mixtures containing recycled industrial materials and evaluates compressive strength, durability, and structural performance. Laboratory testing and structural analysis were conducted to assess load capacity and crack behavior. The findings indicate that selected recycled materials can perform within acceptable structural limits for certain construction applications.
