Demolition and Reuse of Concrete and Masonry





Preface

The first and second international symposia on Demolition and Recycling of Concrete

and Masonry were held in Rotterdam in 1985 and in Tokyo in 1988 under the auspices of

RILEM Technical Committee 37-DRC

These earlier symposia focused primarily on theoretical aspects of demolition and recycling/reuse of building materials. This work has enabled the necessary knowledge to

be built up, but owing to inadequate communication, the knowledge was not being

translated into practice. It was therefore decided to follow up the work by TC-37-DRC with recommendations and standards for demolition and reuse of concrete and masonry.

This has been the task of the new RILEM TC-121-DRG on Guidelines for demolition and reuse of Concrete and Masonry.
