Lotfi, Somayeh (author), Rem, P.C. (author), Di Maio, F. (author), Teklay, Abraham (author), Hu, M. (author), van Roekel, E (author), van der Stelt, H (author)Production of waste materials, via industrial and human activities, creates big environmental and economic problems but also opportunities to recover valuable resources. EU28 currently generates 461 million tons per year of ever more complex Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) with average recycling rates of around 46%. There is still a...conference paper 2017

(author), Lotfi, Somayeh (author), Di Maio, F. (author)Ninety five percent of the construction and demolition waste is recycled in the Netherlands. Most of it is used for low value applications such as road base materials; the use of secondary material in buildings is still less than 3%7. In order to recover waste for higher value applications, enhancing selective demolition and waste management...conference paper 2017

Teklay, Abraham (author), Vahidi, A. (author), Lotfi, Somayeh (author), Di Maio, F. (author), Rem, P.C. (author)The ever-increasing interest on sustainable raw materials has urged the quest for recycled materials that can be used as a partial or total replacement of fine fractions in the production of concrete. This paper demonstrates a modelling study of recycled concrete waste fines and the possibility of turning them into active constituents for the...conference paper 2017

Lotfi, S. (author), Di Maio, F. (author), Xia, H. (author), Serranti, S. (author), Palmieri, R. (author), Bonifazi, G. (author)One of the main challenging problems associated with the use of Recycled Aggregates (RA) is the level of mixed contaminants. For utilizing RA in high-grade applications, it is essential to monitor and minimise the content of the pollutants. To this extent the C2CA concrete recycling process investigates a combination of smart demolition,...conference paper 2015

(author)Aim of this work was to investigate the microstructure of the Interfacial Transition Zone (ITZ) between cement paste and aggregate in concrete utilizing Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) in order to identify possible effects on the ITZ related to different recipes and production parameters. SEM is an important tool to carry out concrete, cement...conference paper 2015
