The construction industry generates a considerable amount of waste. Faced with this undesirable situation, the ready-mix concrete sector, in particular, has invested energy and resources into reusing its own waste in its production process as it works towards the goal of more sustainable construction. This study examines the feasibility of incorporating two types of concrete waste, which curren...

Measurement and fluctuations are closely related to each other in quantum mechanics. This fact is explicitly demonstrated in the case of a quantum non-demolition photodetector which is composed of a double quantum-wire electron interferometer.

With the increase of bridge-required demolition/dismantling for reconstruction or modification, early warning construction emergencies is greatly needed monitoring structural safety bridges under construction. In this paper, based on multi-source data nearby and demolition a large-span RC arch bridge in China, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method adopted to analyze set threshold According an...

Since the turn of the twenty-first century, Turkish cities have undergone large-scale change through a process referred to as urban transformation, involving, notably, the demolition of inner-city low-income settlements. The official authorities and business circles have resorted to various forms of discourse to justify these projects, which have led to the deportation of a significant number o...

Axons are the thin and long extensions of neuronal cells that snake away from cell body. in our nervous system like bridges spanning distances to bring information one nerve another. However, axons alive need nutrients energy survive. degenerate if run out. This results devastating symptoms many conditions called neurodegenerative diseases. Scientists must understand why how prevent or delay it...

This study investigated the generation and management of demolition waste (DW) in Cyprus. A methodology has been developed and applied for the estimation of the quantities of the waste stream under examination, since quantitative primary data were not available. The existing situation relating to the practices applied for the management of DW was investigated and assessed. Furthermore, a multi-...

Recycled demolished concrete (DC) as recycled aggregate (RA) and recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) is generally suitable for most construction applications. Low-grade applications, including sub-base and roadwork, have been implemented in many countries; however, higher-grade activities are rarely considered. This paper examines relationships among DC characteristics, properties of their RA and...

Waste materials are common problem in modern living. Waste accumulates from number of sources including domestic, industrial, commercial, construction and demolition activity. A significant portion of municipality waste is construction related. Proper management of construction and demolition waste is important or else it will get mixed with municipal waste. This type of mixing leads to cutting...

With the growing competition, many construction organizations attempt to improve their productivity, quality, and efficiency. Construction waste management, by means of reverse logistics, becomes a key issue to improve the productivity, and raise the company’s green image. In this study, four key reverse logistics methods, including the direct reuse, the remanufacturing, the recycling, and the ...

In recent years there has been an increasing tendency to recycle the wastes generated by building companies in the construction industry, demolition wastes being the most important in terms of volume. The aim of this work is to study the possibility of using recycled aggregates from construction and demolition wastes in the preparation of precast non-structural concretes. To that purpose, two d...
