Abstract

This article examines the influence of dry recycled materials in the construction materials industry and their role in structural innovations aimed at enhancing the seismic resistance of buildings. With the increasing risk of earthquakes in many regions, the use of recycled materials has been recognized as an effective strategy to improve the performance of structures against seismic forces. This research analyzes the mechanical and physical properties of dry recycled materials, such as recycled concrete and other materials, and their impact on structural characteristics. The results indicate that the use of these materials not only reduces construction costs but also significantly enhances the performance of structures against earthquakes by improving mechanical properties and reducing dead load. This study also discusses the challenges and opportunities available in this field and offers suggestions for future research. Finally, it emphasizes the importance of using recycled materials in the context of sustainable development and environmental protection.
