Carbon footprint is one of the most widely used tools for assessing the environmental impacts of the production and utilization of concrete as well as of the components derived from it representing the amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases associated with this product expressed as CO 2 equivalents In this paper carbon footprint
Environmental Impact Assessment is the process of evaluating the effects caused by a project on the environment The outcomes generated by this assessment can lead to a reduction of the negative
As the demand for cement supply is continually growing this causes an increase in the use of aggregate especially limestone since it is important in the production of Portland cement [13] [14] Exhaustion of the earth s non renewable resources is a growing dilemma when the reason is that the energy consumption has rapidly increased during the 21st century [15]
Environmental Impact Assessment is the process of evaluating the effects caused by a project on the environment The outcomes generated by this assessment can lead to a reduction of the negative
The increasing importance of the environmental and social impacts of air pollution calls for the prediction of the PM 10 emissions in construction projects to prevent conflicts with population and workers The PM 10 generated by road constructions produces significant adverse effects on human health and environment The significance of the concern relies on the great
In rare cases of acidic mine drainage production and toxic compounds distribution aggregate mining is usually considered less hazardous than metallic and fossil fuel mining operations Langer and Arbogast 2002 hence still severe environmental and human health impacts are available Most effects on human health occur during ancillary
Various empirical tests on mechanical performance of aggregates Los Angeles Attrition Value LAAV micro Deval test Aggregate Crushing Value ACV Aggregate Impact Value AIC etc ; for details of these test compare reference textbooks such as Smith and Collis 2001 simulate combination of several mechanical loads see Fig 4 which
The asphalt mixture was produced and transported to the pavement construction site The environmental impacts in this stage are mainly caused by the burning of fossil fuels Regarding construction stage the environmental impacts involve the same processes for both pavements so it is assumed that there are no significant differences
The LCC and LCA methods are applied to establish the relationships between LCC environmental impact and mix proportions for RAC Under the specified compressive strength for RAC multi objective optimization of mix proportions is performed using a PSO algorithm focusing on minimizing raw material costs and environmental impacts
When a carbonization pressure of 1 Bar and a carbonization time of 2 h were applied water absorption and aggregate crushing value values of carbonized RCAs were decreased by % % and
Due to the quantity of cement paste of RCA the amount of CO 2 captured is much more significant for sand 31 39 kgCO 2 /t for 0 4 mm than for gravel 16 kgCO 2 /t for 4 16 mm 61 The impact of accelerated carbonation on the environmental assessment of RAC was carried out by comparing the environmental impacts of concretes formulated
Environmental impact of construction waste recycling Ghanbari et al 2018 SDG14 K Zhang et al application and usage of patents The findings conclude that the most prominent manual codes
In combination with a growing global population unprecedented human pressures are confronting the Earth s system 11 Sand gravel and crushed stone play a significant role in the global economy with concrete being a central pillar of urban development 12 For cement alone a proxy for aggregate usage China s demand has increased
Most concrete consists of cement sand and natural coarse aggregate NA Fig 1 a which refers to as natural aggregate concrete NAC Using local recycled materials to reduce the consumption of these ingredients has been proven to be a reliable way to lower the environmental impact of concrete construction and save substantially on transportation costs
PDF Crushing test and Impact test are very important to estimate strength and toughness characteristics of the road aggregate Extensive Find read and cite all the research
The aim of this project was to compare the potential environmental impacts of crushed concrete aggregate and quarried stone aggregate in road base applications with a particular emphasis placed upon greenhouse gas emissions solid waste and water use as there is a high degree of awareness of these impacts in the building industry
Stage in aggregate processing Major environmental impacts Quarrying and processing raw material Scarring of landscape Dust and noise Some sources are in areas of outstanding natural beauty Proximity to major centres of population Loss of agricultural land or removal from use for many years Energy consumption; carbon dioxide emissions etc
Another conclusion drawn from the research was concrete Environmental Impacts of Coarse Aggregate Production MSc Thesis by Semere Mulatu School of Graduate Studies AAU v April 2013 aggregate production has relatively good profit 27% the total expenditure However the environmental focus given by the producers is very small

Aggregate Crushing Plant; Limestone Crushing Plant; Granite Crushing Plant; Projects Menu Toggle 500t/h Coal Gangue Mobile Crushing Plant; Another way to mitigate the environmental impact of stone crusher plants is to recycle and reuse materials By crushing and reusing materials on site such as concrete and asphalt less material needs
This study assessed the influence of matter discharged during the production dry/wet of recycled aggregate on global warming potential GWP and acidification potential AP eutrophication potential EP ozone depletion potential ODP biotic resource depletion potential ADP photochemical ozone creation potential POCP using the ISO 14044 LCA standard The
Dust constitutes a major environmental concern in many quarries with crushing suggested as the most significant source of it Bada et al 2013; Petavratzi et al 2005; Sairanen et al 2018 Dust from drilling has been previously examined in two natural stone quarries and drilling capacity affected on dust concentration at 5 m distance from the drill but the effect
basic infrastructural facilities The environmental impact of both fine and coarse aggregate production is now hard to ignore especially on the outskirts of the main cities These impacts are clearly seen on the degradation of landscape and land stability pollution of water resource pollution of the atmosphere due to dust and societal impacts
