Use of Industrial Waste in Green Buildings

Abstract

In the present age the waste generated from industries is the huge concern for the environment, health, and cause for land filling. Recycling of such wastes and using them in construction materials appears to be viable solution not only to the pollution problem but also an economical option in construction. In view of utilization of industrial waste in construction material, the present paper reviews various waste materials at different levels in construction material. Compressive strength of concrete and mortar incorporating different waste materials is reviewed and recommendations are suggested at the outcome of the study. The reviewed approach for development of new construction material using industrial waste is useful to provide a potential sustainable source.
