“…C&D wastes may consist of different sources such as asphalt, concrete, and wood (Poulikakos et al, 2017). C&D wastes account for 30% to 40% of the total solid wastes (C&D Waste Management Guide, 2016;European Commission, 2011;Rodríguez-Robles et al, 2015). The increasing amount of C&D waste materials due to urbanization and related C&D activities are causing negative impacts on the environment and society (Lu and Yuan, 2010;Meng et al, 2018).…”

Sustainable treatments of construction and demolition (C&D) wastes have become an increasingly urgent social, environmental, and economic issue worldwide. Based on a filter of 370 articles related to C&D waste management, this review-based study adopted a science mapping approach to evaluating the recent decade's C&D waste management research. Through a three-step workflow consisting of bibliometric literature search, scientometric analysis, and qualitative discussion, this study identified the most influential journals, scholars, articles, and countries that have been active and influential in the C&D waste management research since 2009. Keyword analysis revealed the emerging research topics, such as BIM, prefabricated construction, Big Data, and Circular Economy. The follow-up discussion summarized the mainstream research areas (e.g., qualification of waste generation), discussed research gaps (e.g., integration of BIM and Big Data into C&D waste management), and proposed the framework for near-future research, such as a comprehensive evaluation of the performance of C&D waste diversion, human factors, and design and planning for waste diversion. By providing the big picture of the latest research in C&D waste management since 2009, the paper serves as a multidisciplinary guide for practitioners and researchers to link current research areas into future trends.

“…Concrete structures are demolished at the end of their service life generating concrete waste which can be recycled in treatment plants [5]. In these plants, concrete rubble is crushed to reduce the grain size in order to produce recycled concrete aggregates (RCAs).…”

Concrete is a building material commonly used for ages. Therefore, in the result of repairs or demolition of building structures, large amounts of concrete rubble are created, which requires appropriate management. The aim of the realized research was to determine the influence of heat and mechanical treatment of concrete rubble on the properties of recycled aggregate concrete. The research experiment included 12 series, with three variables: X1—roasting temperature (300, 600, 900 °C), X2—time of mechanical treatment (5, 10, 15 min), X3—content of coarse recycled aggregates (20, 40, 60% by volume). Two additional series containing recycled aggregate without treatment and natural aggregate were also prepared. Established properties of individual aggregates have confirmed a positive effect of thermo-mechanical treatment. Then, based on the results of compressive strength, flexural strength, Young’s modulus, volumetric density, water absorption, water permeability and capillarity, the most favourable parameters of heat and mechanical treatment of concrete were determined. The test results showed that appropriate treatment of concrete rubble allows to obtain high-quality coarse aggregate and valuable fine fraction. This was also confirmed by the macro- and microscopic observations of the aggregate and separated cement paste. Works realized on the concrete recycling method resulted in obtaining a patent PAT.229887.

“…However, entropic elements that affect several urban subsystems are generated during the construction process (Fistola 2011), including construction and demolition waste (CDW). The high generation volume of CDW (Rodr ıguez- Robles et al 2015) and its disposal, which in developing countries is usually done in the nearest available open space (Abdelhamid 2014), is a significant problem.…”

The construction industry is a driver of economic and social development in developing countries; however, it is also one of the primary sources of entropic elements such as construction and demolition waste (CDW). Since construction is expected to continue growing, it is essential to study the CDW status under these scenarios. To the best of the author's knowledge, this is the first academic research in Peru that deals with CDW. The information for the research is collected from primary and secondary sources, which includes 265 surveys, interviews, and visits to construction and disposal sites. The results are obtained from a cross-analysis of the influence of different aspects (experience and education level of the construction site manager, dimension, or socio-economical level of the site, building use, among others) on CDW management. Further, significant findings related to each stage of the CDW cycle are presented. The obtained findings provide information for effective decision making in terms of policies and regulations on CDW, which will help improve its management, reduce environmental impact, and provide economic benefits, especially in developing countries.
