Question
Concrete is the second most used material on earth next to water and it is approximately 80% aggregates. Aggregates are best used for concrete because it is cheap, abundant and inert. However, some places experience aggregate shortages because of isolation and dependence to natural aggregates. According to a research 2020 the 3d common cost of construction delays on road projects is "non-issuance of permit for extraction of aggregates". This extraction suspension is applied to curb the use of natural aggregates and provide time for rivers to replenish its aggregate supply. As a future civil engineer, what should our agencies do? What innovative ideas can we implement to help mitigate aggregate shortages?
