A Review on the Production of Lightweight Aggregates Using Industrial Bi-Product and Wastes from Different Sources

Shanko Ayele Abera | Dr. Naresh Kumar ^[3]

Abstract: The waste materials from industrial are one of the concern issues in sustainable development. Recycle and reduce the waste material is one of the strategies to produce the better sustainable system. One of the methods is by using the waste materials to produce artificial aggregate. There are wide applications of artificial aggregate, for instance construction, agriculture, geotechnical fill, waste water, drainage and many more. Physical properties such as bulk density, specific gravity, unit weight, porosity and water absorption are important criteria. The performance of the artificial aggregate varies, depending on the application.

Keywords: waste materials, artificial aggregate, recycling waste materials, key physical properties
