Abstract:

This thesis reports on a materials science appraisal for recycled construction materials in roadways, that supports engineering decision-making. Inconsistent performance criteria for roadway materials and the variable nature of material source have prompted the need for this research. The aim of the study is to investigate the application of a materials science appraisal to recycled construction materials for use in roadways. The investigation is undertaken through a literature review of roadways, conceptual development of the materials science appraisal methodology, and demonstration of the a

Abstract:

In this paper we investigate a manufacturer's sustainable sourcing strategy that includes recycled materials. To produce a short life-cycle electronic good, strategic raw materials can be bought from virgin material suppliers in advance of the season and via emergency shipments, as well as from a recycler. Hence, we take into account virgin and recycled materials from different sources simultaneously. Recycling makes it possible to integrate raw materials out of steadily increasing waste streams back into production processes. Considering stochastic prices for recycled materials, stocha

Abstract:

The use of industrial residues as raw materials in construction raises concerns over the potential leaching and dispersal of hazardous constituents from them into the environment. Their leaching behaviour has been studied in laboratory assays, but leaching processes in the field over larger spatial and temporal scales are more complex due to variations in the conditions the materials are exposed to, and less well understood. Hence, estimates of the potential environmental loads associated with the use of such materials based on laboratory tests may be inaccurate. This thesis addresses the envi

Abstract:

The UK has adopted the concept of sustainable development and the construction industry is playing a key role in improving the efficient use of materials. The aim is to minimise the waste generated and maximise quantities of materials reused or recycled, minimising raw material consumption. Using Reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is a rehabilitation technique which involves recycling materials from asphalt layers that have already been in service. This reduces the use of new bitumen and aggregates and avoids disposal. However, UK pavements constructed prior to 1980 or surfaced in the late 1980’

It also helps to conserve the waste landfill sites. The major downside for the use of the recycled aggregate is the quality control during its production. This research characte

Abstract:

With more than three tons per head, per year, concrete is the most important and widespread material used in construction worldwide. The Italian code allows the use of waste produced by construction and demolition (C&D) operations to produce recycled aggregates. The great interest, both technical-economic and environmental aroused by this subject has in recent years and all over the world led to a noteworthy increase in experimental and theoretical studies on recycled materials resulting from the construction sector and, in particular, on recycled aggregates. The possibility of utilizing recyc

Abstract:

Includes bibliographical references (leaves 96-100).<br>Concern for environmental degradation has been a motivating factor in the efforts to reuse or recycle construction and demolition waste. The intention is not only to reduce environmental desecration, but also to recycle the construction and demolition waste into potential building materials to be reused elsewhere. This study investigated the supply and demand of recycled construction materials in the Western Cape, and aimed to determine the perception held by important stakeholders about these materials. A qualitative analysis of the case

Abstract:

Ante la problemática que presentan los suelos arcillosos de alta plasticidad, como la vulnerabilidad a variaciones de volumen, produciendo asentamientos diferenciales ocasionando daños en las estructuras, es por factores como este que se decidió buscar una alternativa de mejora para sus parámetros como el incremento de la resistencia, ángulo de fricción y cohesión de un suelo arcilloso de alta plasticidad (CH). En la ejecución de una obra civil, estos parámetros generalmente no se ajustan a los requerimientos del proyecto, por tal razón se debe buscar una solución para la estabilidad del suelo
