Yumiko Ogawa, Toshihide Fukahori, Weijun Gao

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate and analyze the situation of building demolition and construction and the phenomenon of discharging construction waste in Kitakyushu City, Japan in 2002. The amount of construction waste and its processing method are clarified according to the type of structure. An outline of the demolition of a city-owned housing complex has been presented based on statistical data from Kitakyushu City. Furthermore, using examples of housing complexes, we discuss the process of demolition and construction in 2001 and 2002. We also analize the discharge amount of demolition and construction wastes, the treatment method and the schedule of each demolition construction project, etc.
