AN EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION ON THE PROPERTIES OF CONCRETE WITH PARTIAL REPLACEMENT OF CEMENT BY SILICA FUME AND COARSE AGGREGATE BY RECYCLED AGGREGATE

These practices are not only damaging the environment but are considered unsustainable. The excessive utilization of aggregate for concrete production leads to excessive exploitation of natural aggregates and environmental degradation from quarrying activities.
