fRESH READY-MIXED CONCRETE WASTE IN CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS: A PLANNING APPROACH


Abstract:

In the current study, how planning and truck-mixer based
waste amounts per 1 m3 fresh ready-mixed concrete (RMC) can
be determined was presented. Toward this aim, the formation
process of the fresh RMC waste in construction projects was
first introduced in a detailed manner, together with an in-depth
literature review in this specific domain of the construction
engineering and management. Then, the measurement procedure
of the waste amount or coefficient of the fresh RMC was
revealed and discussed as a practical and creative planning
knowledge. Hence, a useful and realistic waste management
perspective about the cost and potential environmental savings
of the RMC waste was drawn.
