Description
Summary:An immense amount of agricultural waste is produced while growing, harvesting and processing goods; which should be treated as a resource for its prevalence and renewability. While developed countries are concerned with utilization and environmental issues, developing countries are focusing on the economic factors of social housing, especially in rural areas. Fortunately, environmental awareness has been raised in the construction industry by using agricultural waste as partial replacement for fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, reinforcing materials, cement and binders. This review is an attempt to collect world-wide data with references for future estimation possibilities of agro waste application focused on fine aggregate replacement in concrete.
