A review of agro-potential waste as a constituent in railway sleepers

Historically, concrete was used exclusively for building construction. Concrete has recently found application in the railway business, notably in the construction of concrete railway sleepers. Concrete is made up of three primary ingredients: fine aggregates, coarse aggregates, and cement. To enhan...
