Reuse of Construction, Demolition and Excavating Materials
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
In this paper I have examined whether the construction materials can be reused or not. I have gone through few research papers determining the reuse of the construction, demolition and excavating materials. By using more recycled and reused materials on construction project, we can reduce our overall costs. There are two sources of potential cost savings - reusing of construction, demolition and excavation materials, and importing recovered and recycled materials. The paper mainly aims towards the few questions which are very much necessary for the construction purposes. What are the top actions to reuse materials on site and import recovered materials? Is space available for materials storage and processing, and what will happen to volumes of waste materials which cannot be reused? Will the materials be available in sufficient quantities? Will the benefits outweigh the costs? For example, site reuse of aggregates avoids the cost of importing new material, but this must exceed the cost of hiring processing equipment. The most common applications of reused and recycled products are: Reusing excavation materials - for example, by stabilizing soils using hydraulic binders, or manufacturing quality soils by adding 'green' compost. Processing demolition arising on site - for example, using mobile crushing plant to provide recycled aggregates for fill, capping and sub-base layers. Importing recycled aggregates that meet the same quality standards as the primary aggregates they replace. Improving engineering properties of materials - for example, by using bonding composites to rehabilitate existing structures. Using products with a high recycled content, such as recycled asphalt or cement replacement in concrete products. Reusing materials in smaller projects Space, time and equipment can restrict opportunities to reuse materials on smaller projects. However, opportunities still exist to import materials from other sites, which may only be available in limited quantities and therefore better suited to small projects. Increasing growth of population has increased the demand in real estate.
