Objective

Achieve practical reuse and under market conditions, of elements such as recycled aggregates, of construction and demolition waste (CDW) in port environment applications (floor-cement, pavements and protection blocks).

Its main goals are:

• Define the optimal composition, as well as the physical and chemical properties of recycled aggregates to be used in marine environments.
• Establish suitable doses for the "new" cement-soil materials, concrete for pavements and concrete for protection blocks of port works through experimentation.
• Study the adequacy of the physical, mechanical and durability properties of concrete made with recycled aggregates, with and without sea water.
• Certify the behaviour of new materials at a real scale, through the execution of the three case studies in pilot ports.
