Description
This research developed new models to replicate metal leaching characteristics from recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) and reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). Model development was supported by a comprehensive experimental and analytical program with multiple influential factors. New models were developed so that they are readily applicable in commercial models to replicate pollutant leaching and solute transport in soil environments. Outcomes of this study will enhance the sustainable use of waste products such as RCA and RAP in the construction industry and relieve the stresses on natural quarry products.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
Full-text downloads:
Full-text downloads displays the total number of times this work’s files (e.g., a PDF) have been downloaded from QUT ePrints as well as the number of downloads in the previous 365 days. The count includes downloads for all files if a work has more than one.
