act|ve student chapters |n the state by
2015, we are now short o that target by
about 10 or 12. Neverthe|ess, |t |s heart-

teachers to make each o these chapters
successu|. As l to|d you |n my |ast mes-

and |nnovat|on |n construct|on |s through
the proper tra|n|ng and exposure o c|v||
eng|neer|ng students.
The lCl Workshop on the Construct|on
and Demo||t|on Waste Pecyc||ng was
he|d at llT Madras dur|ng 5th and 6th
August 2013. As you can see rom the
report that Mr. K. Jayasankar hascomp||ed
or Concrete Matters, |t was a great success.
There were exce||ent ta|ks by experts

From the Chairman's Desk
rom abroad and rom lnd|a cover|ng d|-
erent aspects o the generat|on, co||ec-

shophas he|ped th|s theme get the atten-
t|on o the adm|n|strators, |ndustry and
researchers. l wou|d ||ke to thank Pro. K.
N. Satyanarayana, Mr. Mohan Pamanathan,
Mr. K. Jayasankar and Mr. K. P. Pradeep
or the|r eorts wh|ch made us proud w|th
th|s event.
Sad|y |n August, one o our |||ustr|ous and
|ead|ng lCl members, Dr. A. Pamakr|shna
passed away. Th|s came as a tremen-
dous shock to a|| o us as we had been |n
constant touch w|th h|m regard|ng lCl
matters and the lCl techn|ca| comm|ttee
on precast concrete. lCl and our chapter
w||| a|ways be |ndebted to h|m or the con-

Management Law |n 1986. The Waste Management Law
|nc|uded the estab||shment o the nat|ona| p|an on waste
management and regu|at|on o perm|ts and ac|||t|es or waste
treatment compan|es. ln 1992, Law on resource Sav|ng and
Acce|erat|on o Peuse/Pecyc||ng was enacted to m|n|m|ze
the waste generat|on and max|m|ze reuse/recyc||ng toward
rea||zat|on o a c|osed-|oop resource recyc||ng soc|ety. More
recent|y, Law on Acce|erat|on o C&D Waste reuse/Pecyc||ng
was enacted |n 2005 that espec|a||y emphas|zed sequent|a|
demo||t|on o C&D wastes and ut|||zat|on o recyc|ed aggre-

(1) concrete |nc|ud|ng aspha|t concrete, br|cks, b|ocks, (2)
non-combust|b|e wastes other than concrete, (3) combust|b|e

wastes, the |rst group takes about 80% by wt. as shown |n
F|g. 1 (b) andneeds act|ve ut|||zat|on. ln 2009, wh||e 42.1 m||||on

was 36%: recyc|ed aggregates took 1.5% and usage or the

ConcludingRemarks
Th|s paper |ntended to summar|ze act|v|t|es current|y under
progress |n Korea |n an eort to m|t|gate the env|ronmenta|
|mpact |n the area o construct|on and demo||t|on waste
management. ln the uture, the concrete structures shou|d be
des|gned to have |onger serv|ce ||ves so that generat|on o
demo||shed concrete can be m|n|m|zed. New des|gn codes,
standards, and spec||cat|ons, such as perormance based
des|gn, need to be deve|oped that eas||y a||ow the use o
|ndustr|a| by-products and C&D wastes. lnnovat|ve
techno|og|es need to be deve|oped wh|ch drast|ca||y reduce
the env|ronmenta| |mpact o recyc|ed aggregate product|on.
There |s strong need that the mater|a| |ow o cement,
const|tuent mater|a|s o concrete, concrete, and demo||shed
and recyc|ed concrete be systemat|ca||y |nvest|gated so that
the transportat|ono these mater|a|s canbe opt|m|zed.
