Technologies of reusing materials obtained during step-by-step demolition of buildings

Abstract

Nowadays scientists are required to create closed-cycle technologies for handling the waste; they have to reduce the waste amounts and the anthropogenic carbonic trace on the Earth, and they are supposed to use the recycled materials. The main amounts of the construction waste at the landfills of solid domestic waste appear after using the explosion method and the mechanical way of destruction, which are used for the demolition of buildings. Smart demolition, used during the renovation in Moscow, assumes crushing the obtained stone materials for their reuse. However, technologically crushing is not always possible, and economically it is cost-based. The research of the durability characteristics of load-bearing elements of the demolished buildings and existing regulatory documents allow reusing of these materials.
