Development of Sustainable and Resilient Structural Systems Using Recycled Materials

The construction industry is a major consumer of natural resources, contributing significantly to environmental degradation and waste generation. In recent years, the development of sustainable and resilient structural systems using recycled materials has gained prominence. This study explores the potential of incorporating recycled aggregates, plastics, rubber, and industrial waste into structural systems to enhance sustainability. The experimental investigation focuses on the mechanical properties, durability, and resilience of concrete and composite structures made with recycled materials. The results demonstrate that recycled materials can significantly reduce the environmental impact of construction while maintaining or even enhancing structural performance. The proposed system offers a cost-effective, eco-friendly, and resilient alternative to traditional construction methods, contributing to sustainable development goals.
