Abstract

In cement industry, clinkerization has caused serious harm to the environment. For this reason, nowadays, research aims to partial replacement of clinker with recycling solids wastes materials in cement building to improve more the productivity for the cement industry as well as to maintain the quality of the obtained products. The present study investigated the effect of demolition waste’s incorporation in cement building as an additive on chemical properties of the new materials to determine its classification according to the EN 197-1 standard. Therefore, the compressive strength of the developed cement was successfully evaluated. As a result, all the types of studied wastes could be considered as ordinary cement of two classes: CEM I 42.5 N and CEM II AL 42.5 N. according to CEN 196-1 standard.
