Abstract - Presently, theconstructionindustryworldwideis using more and more natural resources for producing course aggregates required in concrete construction. Demolished wastematerialgenerated fromBuilding demolitionetc. is not put to use in direct construction except for filling low lying land areas. Such large scale demolition waste or MALWA should be put to better use as far as possible. Recycling of demolished waste can offer not only the solution of growing wastedisposalproblem, but willalso helpto conserve natural resources for meeting increasing demand of aggregates for long time to come for construction.
This paper reviews the outcome of tests carried out in the laboratory on use of Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) and MALWA Aggregate tried in Concrete making. The basic properties of these aggregates are determined and compared with conventional and local aggregate. In the present experimental investigation, these materials in different combinations are tried to produce concrete of grade equivalenttoM20orhigher. ItisfoundthatRecycledConcrete Aggregate from Waste Concrete & MALWA Aggregate can be gainfully used in making fresh Concrete for general construction purposes

Presently,the constructionindustry worldwide is using more and more natural resources of aggregates. To makeaggregate,wehavetobreakstonesavailableinhillsor collectthemfromriverbedaspebbles.Environmentstudy saysthatsuchrocks/materialshouldnotbedisturbedasfar aspossible.Ifwebreakmore&morehillocks,thentherewill beindirecteffectonenvironmentlikedeforestation,floods etc. Further, the cost of construction is continuously increasingduetoincreasingcostofconstructionmaterials. In many places, supply of good quality aggregates is depleting,andistobebroughtfromlongerdistanceswhich greatly increase the hauling cost and ultimately the construction cost. Presently, due to huge developmental workbeingcarriedoutintheCountryandconstructiontogo onforever,stoneaggregatesarerequiredforthemanyyears tocomeandtheremaybeashortageofnaturalaggregates after few centuries. Therefore, for conservation of natural resources and protection of environment, it is necessary that.Alternatesourcesofaggregatesbesearchedwhichis necessaryforanydeveloping/developedcountry.
Inthecountryandworldover,hugeamountofdemolished waste Material is generated every day. Central Pollution ControlBoardhasestimatedcurrentquantumofsolidwaste generationinIndiatothetuneof48milliontons;outofthis, waste from construction industry accounts for more than 25%. Management of such high quantum of waste puts enormouspressureonsolidwastemanagementsystem.The basic composition of Solid waste or Garbage varies in compositionfromplacetoplaceandfromtimetotime,buta typical distribution of basic constituents in solid waste is showninfigure2.Though,theorganicwastecanbeputto use for making Bio gas & Manure and Metal pieces & Polyurethaneforrecycling,butMALWAordemolitionwaste is not put to use anywhere. However to do all these processes,itisnecessarytosorttheSolidwasteindifferent categories.Thisisalsotheneedofhourandisbeingdonein mostadvanceCountries.Ingeneral,MALWAgetsmixedup with organic waste or garbage, so it becomes difficult to processthegarbageevenfororganicmanureorbiogasorfor any other thing. However, by observing a few simple precautions during the demolition process of depilated buildings, or renovation of Buildings, the potential for sorting or recycling of the demolished Waste can be improvedandthevalueofproductintheformofMALWA& RECYCLED CONCRETE AGGREGATE (RCA) may be more usefulinConstructionIndustrywherehugequantitiescanbe consumed.
MALWAandConcreteWastearegeneratednotonly throughdemolitionofthedeterioratedstructuresbutalso
due to natural calamities like earthquake, windstorm etc. Thesedepleted buildingsarebrokenorremodeled,which gives rise to lots of waste material called MALWA. This MALWAhasinitbrokenbrickpieces,plaster/setmortar pieces, aggregate, sand etc. More than 12 million tons of demolished waste are generated every month by the construction industry and it is increasing every day. It is therefore, desirable to start recycling and use garbage, MALWA and demolished concrete waste to save environment and energy. Thus, it will conserve natural resources and reduce the space required for the landfill disposal.
TIFAC had conducted a techno market survey on ‘UtilizationofWastefromConstructionIndustry’targeting housing/buildingandroadsegment.Thetotalquantumof wastefromconstructionindustryisestimatedtobe12to15 milliontonsoutofwhich8to10milliontonsareconcrete& brick waste. Such material is not put to use. According to publicsurveyfindings,70%oftherespondenthadgiventhe reasonfornotadoptingrecyclingofwastefromConstruction Industry as "Not aware of the recycling techniques" while remaining30%haveindicatedthat“theyarenotevenaware of recycling possibilities”. Further, the user agencies/industriespointedoutthatpresently,theBISand otherCodalprovisionsdonotprovidethespecificationsfor useofrecycledproductintheconstructionactivities.Inview oftheneedtouse MALWA inConstructionIndustry(Being thelargestIndustry),thetechnologyisbeingdevelopedto explore the role of recycled construction material and its technology for the use in development of urban infrastructure.

MALWAcanbeusedformakingrecycledcoarseaggregate for making Concrete. Such MALWA / concrete can be crushed to required size, depending upon the place of its application and crushed material is screened in order to produce recycled aggregates of appropriate sizes. An aggregateproducedbydemolishedbuildingswillbecalled MALWA aggregate and broken concrete to be known as RecycledConcreteAggregates(RCA).
NormallycoarseAggregateisthefracturedstonefromrocks inhillsorpebblesfromriverbed,andbecauseofdepletion ofsupplyofgoodconventionalaggregateincertainregions, the need for development of MALWA & CONCRETE as RECYCLEDAGGREGATEtechnologyisbeingdeveloped.Itis similar to fly ash, which is available from electrostatic precipitatorsofvarioussuperthermalpowerstations,andis aindustrialwastematerial.Itischemicallyreactivewhen, mixedwithcementforuseinconcrete.Thisisaveryuseful asapartialsubstitute,asitgivesbetterconcreteandhaving better impermeability record. Thus, it has a wider use in Construction Industry. This is also a common byproduct used in making Portland Pozzolana Cement by cement IndustryandFlyashConcrete.Similarly,largescalerecycling of demolished waste and concrete will offer, not only the solution of growing waste disposal problem, but will also helpconstructionIndustryingettingaggregates.

For RCA, the value is similar to ADANAPATTU aggregate&MALWAaggregateismorethanthis.
Although, it is environmentally beneficial to use MALWA & RCA in construction, however the current legislationandexperiencearenotadequatetosupportand encourage the use of recycled demolished waste in India. Lack of awareness, guidelines, standards and lack of confidence in Architects, Engineers & user agencies is a major cause for poor utilization of MALWA or Recycled Aggregate in construction. Further, the acceptability of recycled aggregate is impeded for structural applications duetothelackoftechnicalknow howlikeporosity,effectof sulphate and chloride, impurities and large variation in qualityetc.Inviewofabove,thereisurgentneedtothetake followingmeasures:
Sensitization/ dissemination or knowledge of demolition waste towards its utilization in construction.
Preparation and implementation of techno legal clausesincludinglegislations,guidance,
Penalties etc. for disposal of construction waste on roads and delineation of dumping areas for pre selection,treatment&transportofMALWA.
