A REVIEW ON REUSE OF DEMOLISHED CONSTRUCTION WASTE

Rapid urbanization and population growth have increased the demand for new housing, urban environments and infrastructure. While roads, buildings and bridges are renovated and renewed, massive amounts of construction and demolition waste is generated around the world. To cope with both rising stockpiles of waste and yet growing need for raw materials, we need to impose new environmental regulations encouraging to use recycled materials instead of natural resources. This paper focuses on the necessity of reusing demolition waste for different construction purposes and thereby improving the environmental impact caused by demolition wastes. Construction waste have been effectively used as replacement for both fine aggregates and coarse aggregates.
