Looks like this material can be used all over the world for a multitude of things, saves money, labor, natural resources and the list does on and on. It's a win, win, win !!
We don't have stone in Florida and so this is a major source of gravel. It's great to see big slabs of concrete that otherwise might be dumped somewhere turned into beautiful new gravel.
@@johndowe7003 it isn't that much work, you just load the machine. Front loader and crusher is all you really need. A truck the clients on both ends can pay. But you need standards tests, and governments make it difficult, partially because they want to control illegal dumping, and partially because they make money off of legal dumping and quarrying.
Do it !! 2nd hand loader and dump trucks on site. lease a crusher and weighbridge, even land can lease. Recycling sometimes subsidised by government so check that out.
I worked on a construction site that had a mini crusher, this was used to process waste bricks, spilt concrete and cut out arisings. This was used as bedding material for pedestrian walkways etc. Saving on crush stone/rock purchase and waste material going to landfill sites.
Let me tell you: The lime is used to make the cement. The gravel pits are there to get the gravel. That is two different things. The limestone gets burned to get the active ingredient in concrete. You still need lime to get concrete. Recycling rocks and concrete can replace gravel for the most part. Greetings, Jeff
I love recycled concrete. It doesn't decompose like limestone and doesn't track "white" onto everything else. We have a very good recycle center that provides a source of disposal and production of "new aggregate"!!!!! Good video.
I LOVE recycled concrete! My home is located on a private, three mile long gravel road which homeowners are required to maintain. Several years ago we had trucks lay down a 6-8" thick layer of recycled concrete on several hilly grades - our problem spots - prone to erosion, and once the material packed down, it's proven to be nearly as durable as poured concrete.
I work for a concrete company in Alberta which does all aspects of commercial and municipal concrete work. We have been using recycled concrete for many years as the grade base for new concrete. I use thousands of tons of the stuff every year.
This is effort expended in the right direction, reduce the demand for development on the environment whilst focusing on reuse and industry standardization in a bid to reduce or eliminate waste disposal...
when we recycle, we also reuse the energy used to obtain the materials. Not exactly, but you get the idea. We pulled something from the ground, spending say 3 energy, recycling it costs 2, net energy gains 1. plus that material itself is not easily replaced, it can be found in other places, but that is not the same as actually replacing it, that is just using up more of whats available to be used.
Here in the USA the need for this service has in many places become tied into growing environmental impacts from demolition material being cast off to illegal dumps; either to avoid the cost of hauling to commercial recyclers, or the absence of localized materials recycling operations. A really well appreciated and most likely profitable favor to the demolition industry would be to invent a rock and concrete crushing system that was more appropriately scaled and costed to job-site operations; the size where the throughput needed from the crushing system is not measured in multiple tons per hour; more like 1/2 to 1 ton per hour. Instead of having to pay for hauling castoff rock & concrete to commercial operations, contractors could process the material into forms useful on the jobsite, or possible to be sold to other parties. This would also cut down on them simply calling up people to dump the material "anywhere we can't see it", which in many locales has been and still is a growing problem. Not only would this open up new sales/leasing/rental business for the machinery, but would have immediate impact with environmental concerns over the swiftly growing number and volumes of illegal construction materials dumpsites.
Here in Texas, we do haul most of the material to quarries where it is recycled. Much of it goes to the cement plants to be reprocessed. Type 1L (Ecoment Capitol Cement), or Type 1/2 LA (Alamo Cement/Buzzi-Unicem) is made with recycled material mixed with fresh limestone. It is used in home, commercial, and road construction. We use it for soil stabilization in spread operations and budget conscious readymix companies. I am a cement tank hauler. I haul it all the time. Very good for it's application, and economical. There are companies in Houston that have been recycling used concrete for decades. Near Austin-Bergstrom airport, there are several quarries that do it, also. Very little goes into landfills around here nowadays. I agree, more demolition operations need to step up and recycle their waste. It just isn't necessary or cost effective.
This video shows how the use of recycled aggregate in concrete keep the compressive strength of recycled concrete and other properties like viscosity (work ability) seem as for normal concrete as well as the other advantages are to reduce the environmental impact clearly.
Aeaysome recycling process , if need our world like these type of process to each and every field then save our natural resources ,that it's perfect idea .Thank you! so much .👍
@@beback_ video has been launched 6 years ago... atleadt where I live there has been 0% improvement in the subject... we even still use polyestyrene (EPS) for take away food and groceries lol
Yes but its way more work than just jusing virgin rock, nobody would pay the effort and its not competetive at all, as long as there is no law that brings it in scale
This video conflates the need for aggregate (gravel and sand) with the need for cement. The gravel aggregate can indeed use recycled (crushed) concrete, but sand is more of a challenge, since its properties change during processing. The cement must still come from limestone, which is what is shown in the quarry. The "cracking" of limestone -- the separating of CO2 and CaO from the CaCO3 -- is very energy intensive and produces a lot of CO2. This problem, central to all use of cement including in concrete, is not addressed at all in this video. So, while reusing the aggregate is good, this does not tell the whole story.
You seem to have a pretty specific knowledge of concrete and I agree with everything you've saying. Crushed concrete recycling is nothing new. The cement is the problem
@mike force co2 is one of the green house gas, and u one knows the terrific effect of GLOBAL WARMING heat waves and drought in summer, extremly cold in winter and floods in rainy season. Ice is melting land is submerging........... and on and on... So i think it should be taken care of.
@mike force im talking about excessive amount of co2 you innocent guy, i thought that u can understand but its beyond ur capacity. I had not mention that co2 is pollutant u over educated and extra talented person. & im not a girl u idiot fellow
@@ganimkhan8858 left him alone, he just love his delusional conspiracy and can't listen to another person point of view. He don't understand the different impact between low concentrate CO2 and enormous concentrate CO2 at our atmosphere.
I've finally come across this in English. I was never specifically trying to find such but hearing this in a narration which I understand affords me clarity regarding the content. Demolition waste, if re-processed to required standards, can go round again in construction. It does not have to be creative disposal, such as golf course fill, or landfill liner, or sea breakwall crap, or road base. Government needs to underwrite correct re-processing facilities for it to meet construction requirements, then that be made manditory and compulsory per minimum percentages across the entire construction sector.
I used to test concrete cylinders like that but we would shut the machine off, a split second before it shattered. It is not good for the machine to let it break like that. It is a mess to clean up the sharp concrete shards that fly everywhere and the concrete dust causes COPD. I would see the pressure decrease slightly a split second before it shattered and we would know that we were real close to the pressure that it was going to break at.
Teşekkürler, Mete Han! Thank you for your positive attitude towards my country. My siblings and I had many Turkish friends, my dad encouraged us to invite them to our birthday parties, I used to do my homework in Dogan’s house, a dear class mate of mine in elementary school.
How can you say that Miners don't care about the earth when you show a gigantic hole in the planet surrounded by lush grass. If they didn't care, the surrounding fauna would've died out. Even when you're an absolutely irredeemable shell of a person, you still have the presence of mind to think about the future.
Yes, it is far less environmentally damaging. Wood buildings have the same effective lifespan as concrete--only a very small proportion of either is removed because of "wearing out.". Instead, they are mostly either pulled down to be replaced with something else or are pulled down after being abandoned for a long time. European building practices are extremely wasteful.
yes but if non recycled concrete is stronger and will last longer then using that is a far better option because you do not have to rebuild/renovate houses as often which in turn is better for the environment and its people.
Durability You may be wondering if a recycled material is as good as a new product. The answer is: Yes! According to the Federal Highway Administration, RCA is as structurally reliable and safe as natural aggregate materials. Furthermore, by using recycled concrete scrap, you can decrease your expenses, while also doing your part for the environment. The best part is that you’ll get to enjoy all of the benefits without having to sacrifice on quality.
Rocks . Recycling at its best ? It's been done at least since I saw it done in the early sixties on my father's construction site . Broken concrete has been used in New concrete since Roman times I'll bet .
You left out perhaps the most important factors: turning natural limestone into cement requires a lot of energy, some plants burn rubber, or other hydrocarbon fuels which creates a lot of carbon dioxide,. And even worse; removing the carbonate from limestone [calcium carbonate] produces vast amounts of carbon dioxide, so using recycled is one of the best things we can do for planet Earth, and ourselves. Very nice video, though.
After 44 years as an Owner/Operator hauling rock, asphalt, dirt and broken up concrete to the recycling plants in Metro Atlanta.. like other operators, we all use the same terminaligy. Only Yankees, Home Owners and Gypsy Travelers call Crushed Base Rock, Crusher Run or it's mostly called GAB in the Quarries etc. Gravel and call Asphalt.. Black Top. Example: Bring a load of Rock and specify the type and bring me a load of asphalt (mixed hot at 320° or so from a pug mill or drum mix Asphalt Plant. TD Atlanta
what happens if the concrete in for recycling was a poor grade of concrete, made with beach sand that had salt.. or decomposed granite was used as an aggregate .. would that effect the long term life of some of the batches of new concrete in the decades to come..
The quarry face shows how all the rock was fractured even before the explosion.# The fracturing occurred in the layers of drying sediments of The Flood 4,350 years ago.
Bores and explosions are sheaper than excavators. And the cracking is not small enough to fit them into crusher and one can have lesser abrasion of crusher hammer surface platting.
@@wernerhiemer406 The rock basically hasn't solidified since being fractured in The Flood. But I can go to beach and find rocks that clearly moved after being fractured, then the fracture was filled with liquid quartz that then solidified to lock the rock with cracks misaligned. These rocks look like spider stones.
Concrete, glass, steel, lumber, gypsum, copper, brass, lead, to name a few can be recycled out of most buildings being demolished. Stop hauling theses precious materials to the landfills where there mixed with garbage.

In my town, in the 1990s, tons of metal that had been used in a local hospital's x-ray room, eventually went to a local scrapyard/landfill. The metal came from tables, carts, structural applications, furniture, equipment, machines,..all with high metal content. No one labeled it as contaminated or tested it. There were no safety protocols for this type of recycling, and to this day, I don't know if there is any laws or strict guidelines protecting us from this reckless practice. So eventually some of the furniture and including stainless steel tables, were plucked out and found there way into junk stores, in addition some of it was stolen from the landfill pile, by pickers. A year later, some family is dying from extreme radiation poisoning, and nobody knows why. The authorities think the problem is Radon gas, and chase some other false leads. All the while, it is the stainless steel counters in their kitchen, and other furniture, that they bought at a junk store. It was eventually discovered, what was going on. Though it wasn't reported on in a serious manner. And it was never talked about again,.....and no new safety practices were enacted or announced. (As far as I know) It was never discussed again in the local news papers. I only remembered it, because I buy used furniture from junk stores, too. Recycled concrete could contain high levels of radioactivity as well, and who would know.
I used to test concrete cylinders in the USA. We would turn off the machine a split second before they break. They are very loud, dusty, messy, the shards are sharp and it wears out the expensive machine faster if we let it go to full break. Sometimes my fast reflexes were not fast enough. They sound almost like a small shotgun. Another subject is the lack of dust masks. These people are going to suffer with COPD if they do not protect themselves with N 95 or better dust masks.
Best to reuse as reclaimed old concrete so 45% is the current standard to use but maybe 20% more to 54% recycled concrete. Vs new. And still passes industry standards. Very nice to know.
This plan should be amended in all countries environmental policy, under the supervision of world environmental delegates. Also make videos showing the demerits or I'll effects on environment as any gas emissions from this old concrete or any radiation also, the temperature withstand test
always wondered why concrete could not be recycled. Were I live there are huge deposits of gravel left behind behind by the last ice age. But in my life time, I can see them dwindling.
I think about it technically , the old concrete that's recycled is stronger than the new, as stones and aggregate mixed together help stop cracks spreading , as some of the old particles of the old concrete has gone off its doubles up in strength when reused as you have already miniature gone off sizes in the new concrete
The Germans have always loved concrete, for bunkers, sub pens, so it's no wonder they love the stuff. I'm not sure the Muslims will use much of the stuff once they take over, not to worry. Their really good at demoing though.
This has some major potential problems. Recycled concrete can be loaded with potential low strength conglomerates. Buildings from so long ago did not have the advancements of today’s engineering. Different structures require stronger materials pending on the bearing ratios they must hold. 700kn seems strong enough right? Until you understand the test procedure. By looking at the test sample assuming it was .02m3 cube, this would equate to less than 30mpa. I personally wouldn’t be using this for any structural foundation or suspended applications.
