Jalloul, H; Choi, J; Manheim, D; Yesiller, N and Derrible, S (2024) Incorporating disaster debris into sustainable construction research and practice. Journal of Construction Engineering and Management, 150(1): 02523001, ISSN 0733-9364
Abstract
Several interdependent technical, environmental, social, economic, funding, and regulatory factors affect the sustainable management of post-disaster materials and their valorization in the built environment. Creating value in the end-of-life materials requires conducting a data-based investigation of these diverse factors that impact the feasibility of post-disaster recycling and reuse. Critical design factors in the process of sustainably managing disaster debris within the built environment are the quantity and composition of the disaster debris.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
