The civil engineering sector accounts for a significant percentage
of global material and energy consumption and is a major
contributor of waste material. The ability to recycle and reuse
concrete and demolition waste is critical to reducing environmental
impacts in meeting national, regional and global environmental
targets. Handbook of recycled concrete and demolition waste
summarises key recent research in achieving these goals.
Part one considers techniques for managing construction and
demolition waste, including waste management plans, ways of
estimating levels of waste, the types and optimal location of waste
recycling plants and the economics of managing construction and
demolition waste. Part two reviews key steps in handling
construction and demolition waste. It begins with a comparison
between conventional demolition and construction techniques before
going on to discuss the preparation, refinement and quality control
of concrete aggregates produced from waste. It concludes by
assessing the mechanical properties, strength and durability of
concrete made using recycled aggregates. Part three includes
examples of the use of recycled aggregates in applications such as
roads, pavements, high-performance concrete and alkali-activated or
geopolymer cements. Finally, the book discusses environmental and
safety issues such as the removal of gypsum, asbestos and
alkali-silica reaction (ASR) concrete, as well as life-cycle
analysis of concrete with recycled aggregates.
Handbook of recycled concrete and demolition waste is a standard
reference for all those involved in the civil engineering sector,
as well as academic researchers in the field.
