ABSTRACT

The construction industry is a massive consumer of natural resources and is considered a main producer of waste. Therefore, sustainable construction has become a great concern in major construction activities (Cachim 2009). As part of the construction industry, the concrete industry is looking for ways of making the production of concrete more environmentally friendly. Recycling construction waste into concrete is a promising way towards sustainable construction. Indeed, there is extensive research into the use of recycled aggregate and waste glass into concrete at different replacement levels (Rao et al. 2007, Rahal 2007, Shayan & Xu 2004, Xiao et al. 2012).
