Özet
During periods when cities did not undergo rapid population growth, waste was not deemed a significant concern due to the limited quantity generated and the abundance of available storage space. However, the acceleration of industrialization and urbanization, particularly following the Industrial Revolution, has led to both an increase in the quantity and a diversification of waste within cities. Consequently, shortcomings in the infrastructure and areas designated for waste storage and disposal have emerged, making the management of solid waste one of the foremost challenges facing modern societies. These difficulties in waste management contribute to numerous environmental issues. Despite variations in waste generation today driven by factors such as a country's level of development, population size, construction activities, materials utilized in construction, and cultural practices, Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) constitutes a significant portion of this waste. Effectively managing CDW presents various challenges, including limited landfill capacity, substantial land and transportation expenses, and the associated environmental risks.
Preparation of plans based on various scenarios, especially in the management of construction and demolition wastes arising from buildings that are demolished/will be demolished as a result of disasters such as earthquakes, will contribute to reducing the environmental risks caused by these wastes. The fact that these wastes contain recyclable/reusable materials such as bricks, sand, wood, glass, plastic and metal shows that these wastes have economic value. Therefore, it is important to prepare plans for the management of these wastes, such as disposal and recovery/reuse plans based on different scenarios and to reveal the cost analysis.
In this study, the approximate mass and volumetric amounts of construction debris wastes that may be generated in Milas district due to the expected Aegean earthquake were calculated and the amounts of scrap iron waste (SIW) and mineral fraction waste (MFW) that may be generated within these wastes were determined. The transportation and recovery costs that may be incurred for SIW and MFW recovery / raw material use in cement factories were calculated.
