Abstract

The production of lightweight aggregate based on waste is an important step towards sustainable and ecological construction. It contributes to reducing the negative impact of the construction sector on the environment by reducing the consumption of natural raw materials and reducing waste of various origins, including rubble concrete. The physical and mechanical properties, including grain shape index, water absorption, bulk density, resistance to crushing, frost resistance, leachability of heavy metals, and porosity of lightweight artificial aggregate made from rubble concrete waste (KRC) were presented in the paper. The obtained test results prove that the proposed artificial aggregate has similar water absorption and bulk density and even better frost and crushing resistance than artificial aggregates available on the market. Due to its properties, it can be used for lightweight concrete, gardening, or as a separating layer in home sewage treatment plants.
