ACI SP-219:2004 PDF Download

ACI SP-219:2004 is a standard publication that features 11 papers on the topic of recycling concrete and other materials for sustainable development. These papers were originally presented at the 2003 ACI Spring Convention in Vancouver, Canada. The publication covers a wide range of subjects related to concrete recycling, including global perspectives, challenges, and opportunities. It also addresses the specific barriers to recycling concrete in highway construction and explores current practices in the European Union, Japan, and the USA.

The papers in this publication delve into various innovative uses of recycled materials in concrete construction. Some of the topics discussed include the use of recycled glass as aggregates for architectural concrete, the incorporation of recycled scrap tire rubber into cement mortars, the use of crushed stone dust in the production of self-consolidating concrete, and the utilization of recycled waste latex paint as an admixture in concrete sidewalks.

Furthermore, the publication also examines a new binder developed using thermally treated spent pot liners from aluminum smelters. Additionally, it addresses the issue of alkali-silica reaction in concrete containing recycled concrete as aggregates, which can cause distress to the material's durability.
