Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW), from the construction, maintenance, renovation and demolition of buildings and structures, represents a large proportion of the waste in industrialized societies. Compared to other forms, such as household waste, more than 90% of CDW can be used as a resource and a substitute for construction materials, especially for primary, natural raw materials. Reuse, recovery and recycling depends on the quality and market for the materials, and the environmental impact of the processes for conversion of CDW from old structures to its use in new structures. However, the utilization today of CDW products as secondary resources is marginal. Most CDW is deposited or used as fill material, and the opportunities of high quality recycling are generally neglected. This book presents the opportunities for the sustainable and resource efficient utilisation of CDW, focusing on recycling of concrete and masonry as the major forms of CDW. The recycling of gypsum, timber, mineral wool, asphalt and other types are also described. Its aim is to present a chain of value and material streams in the transformation of obsolete buildings and structures into new buildings and structures. It takes a holistic view, focusing on the lifecycle economy (the circular economy) and integrated management aspects of various scenarios ranging from high industrial urban renewal to debris removal and management after disasters and conflicts. It is based on the author ́s 35 years of research and development combined with practical international experience within the demolition and recycling area. It addresses students, architects, civil engineers, building owners, public authorities and others working in urban planning, demolition and resource management in the building and construction sector and in the reconstruction of damaged buildings after disasters and wars.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Encyclopedia of Earthquake Engineering is designed to be the authoritative and comprehensive reference covering all major aspects of the science of earthquake engineering, specifically focusing on the interaction between earthquakes and infrastructure. The encyclopedia comprises approximately 300 contributions. Since earthquake engineering deals with the interaction between earthquake disturbances and the built infrastructure, the emphasis is on basic design processes important to both non-specialists and engineers so that readers become suitably well informed without needing to deal with the details of specialist understanding. The encyclopedia’s content provides technically-inclined and informed readers about the ways in which earthquakes can affect our infrastructure and how engineers would go about designing against, mitigating and remediating these effects. The coverage ranges from buildings, foundations, underground construction, lifelines and bridges, roads, embankments and slopes. The encyclopedia also aims to provide cross-disciplinary and cross-domain information to domain-experts. This is the first single reference encyclopedia of this breadth and scope that brings together the science, engineering and technological aspects of earthquakes and structures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The comprehensive approach to revisit the subject in introducing a comprehensive book on solid waste management. The book describes apart from conventional and non-conventional method of collection of such waste in a systematic manner, but also provide alternative management techniques for safe methods for solid waste management. Recovery of energy is another important dimension, which becomes a part of the discussion. Biomedical waste collection is another tedious subject which has been thoroughly discussed in the book. Emerging process and technologies is another important aspect without this the book would not have served. Important dimension has been added by taking a suitable examples, through selection of a live sub-project and it has been solved through analysis. Examples of Timarpur, Okhla and Bhalswa plants are thoroughly discussed with their weaknesses and salient features. This comprehensive book would not only serve as text book for students, but also as a reference tool to undertake new projects which would give an interesting solution to manage solid waste into a much rewarding and fruitful waste.

This book was released on 2023-02-14 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If your town doesn't have effective systems in place for managing its solid waste, you and your family might be at risk of exposure to the harmful effects that this garbage can have. You may safeguard your loved ones and the environment by disposing of garbage in an eco-friendly manner. This means that your kids and grandkids may enjoy the outdoors in safety. A city with a population that recognises the significance of environmental protection may work together towards that goal. Since this is important not only for you but for future generations as well. The word "solid waste management refers to a wide range of activities, such as those involved in planning. administration, finance, engineering, and law. Public health, political science, urban planning, sociology, geography, communication, economics, demography, conservation, engineering, and the material sciences may all need to work together to find a solution. It's important to note that residential as well as industrial producers, urban and rural locations, developed and developing countries, and each of them has its distinct approaches to managing solid waste. In heavily populated regions, non-hazardous trash must be handled by local governments. However, hazardous wastes are often handled by the producers themselves following regional, national, and even worldwide regulations. To encourage economic growth and good quality of life, effective solid waste management seeks to reduce and eventually eliminate the negative impacts that waste products have on human health and the natural environment. To keep expenses down and avoid a mountain of trash, this must be done as effectively as possible.

Download or read book What a Waste 2.0 written by Silpa Kaza and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2018-12-06 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Solid waste management affects every person in the world. By 2050, the world is expected to increase waste generation by 70 percent, from 2.01 billion tonnes of waste in 2016 to 3.40 billion tonnes of waste annually. Individuals and governments make decisions about consumption and waste management that affect the daily health, productivity, and cleanliness of communities. Poorly managed waste is contaminating the world’s oceans, clogging drains and causing flooding, transmitting diseases, increasing respiratory problems, harming animals that consume waste unknowingly, and affecting economic development. Unmanaged and improperly managed waste from decades of economic growth requires urgent action at all levels of society. What a Waste 2.0: A Global Snapshot of Solid Waste Management to 2050 aggregates extensive solid aste data at the national and urban levels. It estimates and projects waste generation to 2030 and 2050. Beyond the core data metrics from waste generation to disposal, the report provides information on waste management costs, revenues, and tariffs; special wastes; regulations; public communication; administrative and operational models; and the informal sector. Solid waste management accounts for approximately 20 percent of municipal budgets in low-income countries and 10 percent of municipal budgets in middle-income countries, on average. Waste management is often under the jurisdiction of local authorities facing competing priorities and limited resources and capacities in planning, contract management, and operational monitoring. These factors make sustainable waste management a complicated proposition; most low- and middle-income countries, and their respective cities, are struggling to address these challenges. Waste management data are critical to creating policy and planning for local contexts. Understanding how much waste is generated—especially with rapid urbanization and population growth—as well as the types of waste generated helps local governments to select appropriate management methods and plan for future demand. It allows governments to design a system with a suitable number of vehicles, establish efficient routes, set targets for diversion of waste, track progress, and adapt as consumption patterns change. With accurate data, governments can realistically allocate resources, assess relevant technologies, and consider strategic partners for service provision, such as the private sector or nongovernmental organizations. What a Waste 2.0: A Global Snapshot of Solid Waste Management to 2050 provides the most up-to-date information available to empower citizens and governments around the world to effectively address the pressing global crisis of waste.
