Research Findings

Many kinds of construction wastes are now produced in China. Recycling disposal of construction wastes not only alleviate pressure on the environment but also identify certain economic and social benefits. This paper undertakes a timely review of recycling disposal of construction waste in China's Road Construction Industry. The paper presented definitions of construction wastes and described the current situation of construction wastes in China. Considering the research findings which have been achieved in the field of waste disposal, this paper discussed the approaches to recycle construction wastes in China including abandoned concrete, waste asphalt, old brick, waste timber, sewage sludge. The conclusion makes recommendations that are deemed to offer substantial benefits for both the road construction industry and society as a whole.

Brick debris that makes up the majority of construction waste has not received proper waste disposal in Indonesia. On the other hand, brick debris could be potentially reused as non-structural building materials to reduce its negative impact on the environment. This study aims to test the effectiveness of soundproofing on recycled brick debris. The soundproof test was carried out on brick debris in the form of fine and coarse grains. The simulation box is then used as a support for the brickwork material and then the box is exposed to a sound source with a certain level of noise that is considered disturbing human comfort. Noise level measurements are made in the outside and inside the box. These measurements are tabulated and then analyzed to see the success of the two aggregates in reducing noise. Basically, the brickwork material has succeeded in becoming a recycled building material that can absorb noise, although further research must be carried out to be able to state that this material is truly ready to be used as an alternative building material with good acoustic capabilities.

In their activities, humans produce a large amount of wastes. A sharp increase in consumption resulted in a large volume of solid domestic wastes, which must be combated. All this poses a certain life threat to mankind. However, there is no totally waste-free production. That is why the most effective way of waste disposal should be chosen. That is why it is necessary to choose the most effective way of waste utilization with minimization of environmental and economic risks.

Sustainable building design has become a hot topic over the past decades. Many standards, databases, and tools have been developed for achieving a sustainable building. Not until recently have the importance of structural engineering and its contribution to sustainable building design been full recognised. However, due to the highly fragmented and diversity of knowledge across building and infrastructure domains, there is a lack of approach that can address all the sustainable issues within the structural design. This paper reviews the sustainable design from the perspective of structural engineering: (1) reviewing the current situation; (2) identifying the gaps and difficulties; and (3) making recommendations for future improvements. The strategies and indicators, as well as BIM-enabled methodology, for sustainable structural design (SSD) are also discussed in a holistic way. The results of this investigation show that most of the methods are not doing well in terms of delivering a successful sustainable structural design. It is expected that the future BIM could probably provide such a platform to address these issues.
