Concrete with recycled materials (CRMs) provides sustainability in several different ways. The simple act is the reduction of the amount of materials that must be landfilled. However, the production of portland cement, an essential constituent of concrete, leads to the release of significant amount of CO2, a greenhouse gas; one ton of portland cement clinker production is said to create approximately one ton of CO2 and other greenhouse gases. Reuse of post-consumer wastes and industrial by-products in concrete is necessary to produce even greener concrete. The presentations included in this course will explore the use of recycled glass and reclaimed asphalt pavement as a partial replacement to portland cement and for its ability to produce durable concrete.

The contents of this course contain three presentations from Fall 2014 convention.
• Structural Performance of Fly-Ash-Based Concretes Containing Pulverized Glass Aggregates, by Michael Patrick Berry, Montana State University, Bozeman, MT 
• Concrete with Steel-Furnace-Slag-Fractionated Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement: Properties and Expansion Potential, by Alexander Brand, University of Illinois
• Development of Fully Recycled Portland-Cement-Free Mortars Using Binary Combinations of Recycled Glass, Lime, Blast-Furnace Slag, and Fly Ash, by Hamed Maraghechi and Stephen B. Salwocki, Pennsylvania State University

1. Evaluate concrete mixtures containing pulverized recycled glass and reclaimed asphalt pavement aggregate material combined with cementitious materials to produce hardened concrete.
2. Recognize the different types of strengths achieved using concrete mixtures produced with recycled glass and reclaimed asphalt pavement aggregates.
3. Demonstrate knowledge of the various methods used to design and validate concrete produced with recycled materials.
4. Describe the comparisons between concrete made with recycled materials and ordinary portland cement concrete.
