Advances in Construction and Demolition Waste Recycling: Digital Technologies, Management, Processing and Environmental Assessment presents recent research in recycling and reuse of concrete and demolition waste in construction applications. The book starts with a detailed introductory section on digital technologies that are used to enhance circularity. Part Two focuses on the management of construction and demolition waste, including estimation of quantities and the use of BIM and GIS tools. Part Three reviews the processing of recycled aggregates, along with the performance of concrete mixtures using different types of recycled aggregates. Part Four looks at the environmental assessment of non-hazardous waste. This book will be a standard reference for civil engineers, structural engineers, architects, and academic researchers working in the field of construction and demolition waste.
