Abstract:

Abstract As the most widely used construction material worldwide, concrete is the main cause of greenhouse gas emissions, material depletion, and waste generation by the construction industry. Typically, concrete waste is crushed and, at best, reclaimed into recycled aggregate or used as gravel. This process is energy-intensive and results in a reduction in material properties. In contrast, the direct reuse of concrete elements from obsolete structures offers great potential for significantly reducing the environmental impact of new constructions. To be reused, concrete elements are carefully

Abstract:

Effective reuse and recycling of end-of-life (EOL) products are essential for improving resource efficiency and protecting environment. Currently, many parts of construction machinery in EOL stage can still be reused directly because they are designed with extreme high strength to meet the bad working conditions, which minimizes the impact on the environment. In this context, a quality evaluation approach for reuse parts is proposed in this paper.

Like many countries, Palestine suffers from water scarcity. Here, treated greywater is considered an essential nonconventional water resource. We aim to identify some wastewater reuse and disposal practices in rural areas and assess the acceptance level of different reuses of greywater.

A house is a building that functions as a place to live and contains facilities and infrastructure for the family. The need for houses is increasing in accordance with human growth. This highlights that the construction of houses will definitely consume a significant amount of natural materials for building construction materials. The use of material reuse can help reduce this. Several case examples were selected to identify and analyze all the challenges and factors that should be considered in designing using recycled materials.

Abstract:

Adaptive reuse of buildings is considered a superior alternative for new construction in terms of sustainability and a disruptive practice in the current capital project delivery model for the renewal of today’s built environment. In comparison to green-field construction projects, adaptive reuse projects require distinct stages, definition of interfaces, decision gates, and planning methods in order to secure the success of the building project. Unfortunately, little research has been done regarding establishing feasible systems for the planning, assessment, and management of adaptive reuse p

Abstract:

The reuse of construction materials has been a consistent practice throughout the history of architecture, especially prevalent during periods of transition when it was preferred for its ability to simplify installation and reduce construction costs. This practice was particularly common in late Roman urban contexts, where construction materials, especially ashlar and sculptural elements, were abundant following the abandonment of temples and public buildings. However, there are occasions when the use of spolia, or reused materials, goes beyond simple material recycling. The reuse and display

Abstract:

AbstractNovel functions, which emerge by reusing existing resources formerly adapted to other original usages, cannot be anticipated before the need eventually arises. Simple reuse must be accidental. However, to survive the evolutionary race, one cannot merely keep hoping for a string of good fortune. So, successful species might be gifted with “rational” and “purposeful” biological mechanisms to prepare for future reuse. Neural reuse must be extrapolated from such mechanisms.

Abstract:

To promote efficient construction waste recycling and reuse, a novel waste management approach based on blockchain technology was introduced to the industry. However, adopting blockchain platforms in construction waste recycling and reuse may impact the behavioral strategies of stakeholders and impede the prediction of the specific impacts of stakeholders’ decisions. Accordingly, this study addresses two primary questions: (1) What are the collaborative framework and the behavioral evolution trends of multiple stakeholders within the context of blockchain? (2) How can the behavioral strategies

Abstract:

The reuse of high-strength structural bolts often refers to the removal and subsequent reinstallation of bolts when a structural connection is reassembled. Although bolt reuse is not commonplace, it may be feasible for certain types of structures, such as temporary structures used in construction, reusable military structures, and rehabilitation projects of existing structures. Moreover, a moderate cost savings may be possible if the structural bolts are reused when the structure is reassembled. The primary purpose of this study was to provide information on the effect of reuse on the behavior

Abstract:

Nowadays most construction firms have begun to use information management systems in their business to work more efficiently. At the same time, a lot of management information is being accumulated and some of the information can be reused to support the decision-making. Up to now, the information has not been reused so effectively in construction firms as expected. This paper introduces a new approach to reusing construction firm’s management information, which is based on BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology. In the paper, the current approaches are reviewed at first, and then the f

Abstract:

Treated wastewater represents a significant potential source of reclaimed water for some beneficial reuses. However, public concern over the risks/health-related hazards of wastewater reuse has limited the general acceptability of reuse systems in many countries. It is important to manage the operation of recycled water systems in such a way that it will not adversely affect public health and the environment. Management of recycled water involves process control and compliance monitoring. This paper presents proposed unit process monitoring guidelines to classify the performances of treatment

Abstract:

Adaptive Reuse (AR) is repurposing the existing buildings by making changes in the architecture accordingly. It is one of the most efficient construction techniques. The building construction takes a big amount of money and time as well as making a credible impact on the environment. This paper aims to conclude the contemporary relevance of this method in terms of sustainability. With the help of a qualitative research methodology, this study focuses on examining the overall relevance of Adaptive Reuse as a sustainable approach to civil engineering constructions.

Abstract An increase in the reuse of building materials is identified as crucial to fulfil the UN Sustainable Development Goals within the built environment. The ambition of this paper is to examine systems for reuse in five of Norway’s largest municipalities, to understand the barriers and drivers for their well-functioning. Through a literature review, Norwegian praxis is then compared to best practices internationally. The methodological approach was based on a two-stage process. First, a preliminary round of informal interviews (N=28), and site visits to the sites were scrutinized. This fi

The construction industry is responsible for half of the currently excavated amount of raw materials. In addition, a quarter of all waste in the European Union is construction waste. This construction waste comprises numerous materials that can still be reused or recycled. Thus, a shift to a circular construction sector is necessary. To make this shift, it is vital to enable the measurement of and the progress toward circularity. Therefore, this paper investigates the currently available circularity indicators with regard to the 4 Rs—Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Recover. Subsequently, a comprehensi
