About this book

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 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. Part two reviews key steps in handling construction and demolition waste, from comparing conventional demolition and construction techniques to the preparation, refinement and quality control of concrete aggregates produced from waste. The following part 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 harmful substances from recycled aggregates.
