Earthquake Generated Construction and Demolition Waste

2023
The complexity of disaster effects has elevated post-disaster management to the forefront of policy debates. Earthquakes can have far-reaching consequences on a region’s economic, population health, and natural environment, all of which necessitate careful management of the massive amounts of construction and demolition waste (CDW) that result. Besides

Leaching behaviour of hazardous demolition waste

Waste Management, 2008
Demolition wastes are generally disposed of in unlined landfills for inert waste. However, demolition wastes are not just inert wastes. Indeed, a small fraction of demolition waste contains components that are hazardous to human health and the environment, e.g., lead-based paint, mercury-contained in fluorescent lamps, treated wood, and asbestos.

Generation of construction and demolition waste in Portugal

Waste Management & Research: The Journal for a Sustainable Circular Economy, 2011
In line with the growing concern around the world about construction and demolition waste (CDW) management, an attempt has been made to quantify the amount of CDW generated in Portugal, a country where no reliable/official data exist. This is an increasingly important concern of companies, businesses and municipalities involved with CDW, in a context ...

Forecasting of construction and demolition waste in Brazil

Waste Management & Research: The Journal for a Sustainable Circular Economy, 2016
The objective of this article is to develop a computerised tool (software) that facilitates the analysis of strategies for waste management on construction sites through the use of indicators of construction and demolition waste generation. The development involved the following steps: knowledge acquisition, structuring the system, coding and system ...

Recycling of demolition waste in Merseyside

Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Construction Materials, 2016
There have been considerable developments in Merseyside over the last fifteen years with regards to the commercialisation of recycled demolition aggregate. Liverpool is an urban region that at the time was undergoing regeneration. This required the demolition of old infrastructure. Subsequent reconstruction required new construction materials.

Recovery of Construction and Demolition Wastes

2014
Waste is defined as by-product material of human and industrial activities that have no residual values (Serpell and Alarcon, 1998). About 32.4 Mt of solid waste are generated in Australia annually (Productivity Commission – Australian Government, 2006), of which about 42% is from construction and demolition sectors. From that, about 7.8 Mt of material
