The re-utilization of concrete waste materials.
Abstract
This report explores the need for re-utilization of concrete
waste materials in contrast to disposal by landfilling. Potential
applications for the beneficial and cost-effective re-utilization
of waste concrete materials are presented. Factors affecting the
feasibility of re-utilization of concrete waste materials are
discussed. Reduction of construction project costs and minimization
of environmental impact can be realized as the result of removing
concrete waste materials from the solid waste stream.
