Fresh Ready-Mixed Concrete Waste in Construction Projects: A Planning Approach

In the current study, how planning and truck-mixer basedwaste amounts per 1 m3 fresh ready-mixed concrete (RMC) canbe determined was presented. Toward this aim, the formationprocess of the fresh RMC waste in construction projects wasfirst introduced in a detailed manner, together with an in-depthliterature review in this specific domain of the constructionengineering and management. Then, the measurement procedureof the waste amount or coefficient of the fresh RMC wasrevealed and discussed as a practical and creative planningknowledge. Hence, a useful and realistic waste managementperspective about the cost and potential environmental savingsof the RMC waste was drawn.
