Abstract
The wastes from construction and demolition have grown significantly. The best approach to handle this waste is to recycle and reuse it as an aggregate. Although fine recycled aggregates do have some advantages, coarse recycled aggregates are still preferred. Therefore, replacing some sand with (Construction and Demolition waste) CDW is feasible. However, adding Rice Husk Ash (RHA) and glass fiber to preparation mortars has various effects. Replacing sand with fine recycled aggregate and some of the cement with Rice Husk Ash affects the mortar’s properties differently. In order to identify the ideal percentage of both RHA and Glass Fiber that might be utilized in mortar preparation, it is necessary to understand the impacts of incorporating such RHA and Glass Fiber in CDW. Experimental studies support the findings. The mortar cubes with Glass Fiber 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, and 5% of the weight of cement are tested. Varying replacement percentages of cement with RHA are 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, and 10% only. The investigation’s main objective is to establish the optimal percentage of RHA and glass fiber. Replacement for CDW is set at 35 percent in accordance with the literature. Reusing waste products and managing them effectively are efforts that will relieve pressure on river quarry sites and promote sustainable development. The mortar created from construction and demolition waste partially substituting river sand will perform better with the optimal percent of RHA and glass fiber. Efforts are made to improve the mortar performance by including recycled aggregates.
