The construction, demolition and excavation waste arising in England was estimated at 91 million tonnes in 2003. The current thinking on construction waste minimisation is heavily focussed on several issues relating to physical construction waste and recycling guides. Indeed, much had been published on ways to improve on-site waste management and recycling activities but very few attempts made ...

In this paper, a location allocation (LA) problem in construction and demolition (C&D) waste management (WM) is studied. A bi-level model for this problem under a fuzzy random environment is presented where the upper level is the governments who sets up the processing centers, and the lower level are the administrators of different construction projects who control C&D waste and the after treat...

Abstract Construction, demolition, and renovation activities generate a significant amount of waste, posing serious environmental risks. The scarcity recycling facilities makes it difficult to implement the new legislation, which calls for producing recycled aggregates. Moreover, lack studies on feasibility construction demolition waste in regions with plentiful natural resources aggregates is ...

Construction and demolition waste disposal charging is a critical component in construction (CW) management. Over the past few decades of implementation around world, effectiveness decreasing negative environmental impact gradually being questioned. This paper identifies two intertwined issues that have not attracted sufficient attention actual practice. One consideration contractors’ behavior,...

Since the construction sector uses 50% of the Earth's raw materials and produces 50% of its waste, the development of more durable and sustainable building materials is crucial. Today, Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) is mainly used in low level applications, namely as unbound material for foundations, e.g., in road construction. Mineral demolition waste can be recycled as crushed aggreg...
