Literature Review: Construction Waste Management

The two articles being reviewed in this paper are: a) Multi-Attribute Decision Making in Choosing Suitable Construction Waste Management Methods , and b) A Framework for Managing Construction Demolition Waste: Economic determinants of recycling , both addressing the decision making process in construction waste material management.

Zhang and Li primarily address the topic of scientific methods that can be used to measure variables that affect effective decision making in the efficient disposal of construction waste. The authors highlight that as populations and economies grow, a city’s real estate needs expand too. In such cases, construction of buildings and infrastructural facilities also rise in ...

Introduction

All the actions and activities involved in managing the waste from its generation to its final disposal is called the waste management. It is the precise name given to the monitoring, collection, transportation and disposal of waste. Human activities are responsible for the production of so much waste every year, so, the management of waste is necessary to avoid its adverse effect on the environment and human health. Waste can also be managed to get resources from it. All kinds of waste like solid, liquid, gaseous and radioactive matter needs to be managed.
Developed and Developing countries may have ...

Introduction

One of the byproducts of urban growth and development is the waste production. As per the report of the World Bank (2013), OECD countries produce almost half of the world's waste, while South Asia and Africa are listed as the regions producing the least amount of waste. The Basel Convention defines 'wastes' as substances or objects that need to be disposed of in accordance with the provisions of national law. European Waste Catalogue shows 850 types of wastes out of which 420 types of wastes have been classified as hazardous waste. Hazardous wastes are those wastes considered to be ...

Introduction

Waste management refers to the process of collecting, transporting and disposing trash, sewage and other waste materials. There are different sources of waste including residential, industrial, commercial, institutional, construction and demolition, municipal, agriculture and manufacturing and all these waste products whether solid, gaseous, liquid or radioactive come under the realm of waste management. Due to the rapid growth and fast development in Australia, the country has produced waste on humongous amount. As per the data provided by Australian Bureau of Statistics, the growth of average annual rate of waste production in Australia is about 5.4% between 1996-97 and 2006-07. ...

Introduction
Common materials used in deconstruction, renovation, and demolition sites include wood, bricks and blocks, concrete, metals and glass. They may be discarded now, but they can still be reused and recycled into other products in many ways. Typically, disposal of construction wastes are done through recycling, incineration, and disposal (Ackerman and Gallagher, 2002, Ganiron, 2014a). The construction wastes have great potential for the mitigation of the environmental impacts as based upon the material’s life cycle (Knoeri et al, 2013).

Abstract

In most parts of the Arab countries, the limited resources of water pose adverse constraints to both the social and economic development, while also threatening the people’s livelihood. The available surface water keeps on declining, and the ground water over-pumping that goes beyond the natural recharge rates has continued to cause great negative impact in the lowering of water table. Over-pumping of ground water also increases ground water salinity, ground water depletion, and ecological degradation (SCENR 5). The outcome prompted the Qatar government to start regulating its water resources as a measure ...

Abstract

Maintaining a highly effective waste management system is an important part of being a clean and green city. While this may not be the top priority for some countries, especially the developing ones—because keeping a clean and green city can be costly; there are countries that are making long term investments for a more effective waste management system in the future. This can be evidenced by the fact that even countries like Qatar and the city of Dubai are finding it hard to find the political and economic will to develop and enforce environmental law and regulations. If ...

LITERATURE REVIEW: WATER TREATMENT

1.0 Literature Review: Water Treatment.
1.1 Water Quality:
Water quality is the measure of water condition in relation to the requirements of various biotic species, the environment, and/or any human needs and purposes. Water quality is determined by measuring and analyzing it chemical, biological, physical and radiological characteristics. Both natural and human activities influence water quality. Natural influences that affect water quality are mainly climatic, geological and hydrological since they affect both the quality and quantity of water available (Diersing 2009). The highest influence on water quality occurs when its quantity is low, yet the limited resource must be ...

Recycling is the process of making use of a product more than once in its life cycle before final disposal. This means that a product is used and then after the use, it is treated in one way or another to enable its reuse. Recycling is very important since it allows for reduced initial product which would have resulted in increased resource use and exploitation. From this perspective, it helps in economizing on resources and ensuring proper exploitation. Closely related to this is environmental conservation associated with recycling. From statistics, recycling helps in ensuring that the environment is conserved and less ...

Introduction

Reality TV shows such as American Idol and the Bachelorette are amongst the top rated shows which attract the youth. The reason of appeal maybe accredited to the satisfaction consumers achieve by watching these shows as they relate and identify with these depictions. Marketers often use advertisements during these shows (such as the Coke can in the American Idol show) to promote their brands on a channel being highly viewed by the consumers. People engage in different behaviors when they are about to purchase a product and their consumption behavior is often affected by the advertisements, promotional deals, price, the packaging ...

Literature Review on Fracking

Introduction
The extraction of natural gas has been seen the much-needed reprieve in the face of increased energy demands globally. The natural gas present unexploited energy reserves that can be used to meet the energy deficits in the countries where there are natural gas deposits. Its extraction requires the use of advanced technologies. Fracking the main technology used in the exploitation of natural gas from the rocks beneath the earth’s surface where it is trapped. The biggest proportion of the new wells for the exploitation of natural gas (90%) utilizes hydraulic fracking as the technology of choice. While ...

Introduction

Literature, besides being a form of art used for expression, preserves customs, morals, and cultural ideals. The written word gives people a deeper context of the lives and livelihoods of people, places, and events (Kronick, 23). Literature is the best way in which history has been and will continue to be passed on from one generation to another. Each generation adds its experiences to literary accounts and passes on to the next one. For instance, people can learn and imagine, with accuracy, as much about the life and times of William Shakespeare by interacting with his literature and that of ancient ...
