Description
Tariq Alqubaysi and colleagues present a two thousand twenty-five study on stronger, greener road concrete. Cement making drives a large share of world carbon emissions. Recycled concrete aggregate can replace natural stone, but weak old mortar limits its strength.
The team treated recycled aggregate with metakaolin slurry and added silica fume at several doses. Mixes used recycled aggregate at four replacement levels, up to full replacement. Tests showed clear gains in strength and durability, backed by statistical checks. Machine learning helped tune the mix. Road builders get evidence that treated recycled material can serve in rigid pavements.
