Abstract
The accumulation of material waste on construction sites often stems from underutilized procured materials, prompting a plethora of practical and scientific endeavors to mitigate waste and enhance construction project sustainability. This research study analyzes and synthesizes existing research on material waste management in construction projects from 2000 to 2023, aiming to investigate significant research themes and propose potential future research directions. Bibliometric and scientometric analyses are employed to examine the 205 documents retrieved from the Scopus database. The findings highlight that keywords like construction waste, waste management, and construction and demolition waste are the most prominent in the research domain. China and Malaysia are the leading contributors to this research subject. The Waste Management Journal is recognized as a seminal journal on construction material waste management. The qualitative evaluation reveals several prominent research themes: waste quantification and minimization, lifecycle assessment of waste, waste disposal and diversion practices, causal factors of waste generation and management, and circular economy and sustainable construction. The paper offers valuable insights for both scholars seeking new research avenues and practitioners interested in exploring prospective business opportunities.
期刊介绍：
The Asian Journal of Civil Engineering (Building and Housing) welcomes articles and research contributions on topics such as:- Structural analysis and design - Earthquake and structural engineering - New building materials and concrete technology - Sustainable building and energy conservation - Housing and planning - Construction management - Optimal design of structuresPlease note that the journal will not accept papers in the area of hydraulic or geotechnical engineering, traffic/transportation or road making engineering, and on materials relevant to non-structural buildings, e.g. materials for road making and asphalt. Although the journal will publish authoritative papers on theoretical and experimental research works and advanced applications, it may also feature, when appropriate: a) tutorial survey type papers reviewing some fields of civil engineering; b) short communications and research notes; c) book reviews and conference announcements.
