| dc.description.abstract | Under the global development of sustainable construction, the reuse and recycling of construction and demolition wastes (CD&W) is getting more and more attentions.The government in Taiwan devotes more and more efforts for the proper treatment and the recycling of construction and demolition wastes (CD&W). Many public construction projects are gradually encouraged or required to use recycled products made of CD&W. However, as the recycling market of CD&W is not developed in Taiwan, the design-engineering firms, the manufacturers of recycled products, and others frequently have problems in finding the proper CD&W sources for their projects and/or products. On the other hand, some construction demolition projects and many CD&W treatment plants encounter problems from time to time to dispose in time their CD&W and/or recycled aggregates/materials.
This research is to develop a system of an information platform for finding CD&W sources for recycled products. Ten similar information platforms developed in US, UK, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa are investigated and their system planning are analyzed. Also, the four related information platforms established by various government agents in Taiwan for the purpose of controlling the CD&W are investigated to avoid the possible function overlapping. In addition, expert interviews with 18 engineering design firms, construction contractors, CD&W treatment plants and manufacturers of recycled products to determine the mechanism and the required functions for information exchange, and the necessary contents of the information. After system analysis and planning ,We build the system。In order to prevent from mistakes and bugs, we invited 21 engineering firms to verify it in 1.5 months。According to their opinion ,we do some adjust .The system is promising.Conclusions and findings are reported. | en_US |
