Estimation of Construction Waste Generation and Management in Taiwan

Abstract:

This study examines construction waste generation and management in Taiwan. We verify the factors probable affecting the output of construction wastes by using data for the output of declared construction wastes produced from demolition projects in Taiwan in the last year, expert interviews, and research achievements in the past, and find “ on-site separation” is the factor with effects on the output of construction wastes via cross-correlation by algorithms such as K-Means and Decision Tree C5.0. It can be seen that the output (0.092(t/M³) with on-site separation or 0.329(t/M³) without on-site separation is highly correlated with the composition ratio of construction wastes and referred to as a valid conclusion.
