The phoenix of reconstruction: A review of concrete rubble recycling for post-war urban rebuilding

In addition to destroying buildings and lives, wars also leave behind tons of debris that make life difficult to rebuild. Thus, on the second day following a conflict, it is absolutely necessary to use this debris for reconstruction. This goes beyond simply turning debris into a new resource; it also includes the sense of significance that comes with reconstructing their homelands from their ruins. In order to highlight encouraging experiences with using rubble from destroyed buildings, this study reviews a variety of research. Additionally, it highlights research on recycling rubble, examining the characteristics of recycled rubble and emerging technologies in this area. It also looks at the difficulties in making use of the findings of this study and the possibility of putting them into practice. For those looking to provide aid to regions affected by natural disasters and conflicts, the combined efforts of scientific research and their application may be a winning card. Therefore, in order to recover rapidly, reconstruction efforts must start with the findings of scientific research.
