Construction Waste Generation in the Iranian Building Industry
Building industry as one of the greatest industries in Iran comprises a significant share of waste generation in the country. Since a large quantity of the generated construction waste is buried due to the lack of a recycling protocol, it leads to an undesired waste of resources and causes severe environmental issues. This paper provides a study on the problem of material loss/construction wast...
متن کاملOptimization of the Waste Management for Construction Projects Using Simulation
Growth in construction activities increases the amount of construction waste generated. Recycling of construction waste is an important component of environmentally responsible construction, as it reduces the amount of waste directed to landfills. In addition, it enhances the resource recovery for future construction work. A model is presented in this paper to predict waste generation rates, as...
متن کاملForecasting Generation Waste Using Artificial Neural Networks
Municipal solid waste (MSW) is the natural result of human activities. MSW generation modeling is major significant in municipal solid waste management system planning. Predicting the amount of generated waste is difficult task because it is affect by various parameters. In this research, Artificial Neural Network (ANN) was trained and tested to weekly waste generation (WWG) model in Sari’s cit...
متن کاملForecasting Municipal Solid Waste Generation in Major European Cities
An understanding of the relationships between the quantity and quality of environmentally relevant outputs from human processes and regional characteristics is a prerequisite for planning and implementing ecologically sustainable strategies. Apart from process-related parameters, continuous and discontinuous socio-economic long-term trends often play a key role in the assessment of environmenta...
متن کاملInvestigating the Impact of Safety Investment on Safety Culture in Construction Projects - Case Study of Power Plant Construction Projects
Background and aims: Construction industry is known as one of the most perilous industries in that it is involving the hazardous projects as well as the high manpower activities correlating with a high rate of work-related accidents. On the other hand, the high rate of accidents in the industry demanding a big budget for the damages; therefore, safety is strongly emphasized in the construction ...
