Statistical Analysis for the Construction and Demolition Waste Generated in Iraq
摘要
A nation’s growth and development are closely and significantly correlated with the construction industry. Concurrently, increasing construction waste is produced because of population growth, the vast construction of buildings and infrastructure projects to keep up with living standards. Construction and demolition waste (CDW) generation is very important for preparing a proper plan for its management. This study aims to analyze the CDW produced in Iraq over five years. It shows the massive value of CDW generation in three provinces due to war. Iraq’s CDW generation increased from 87.95 kg/capita in 2018 to 135.34 kg/capita in 2022 when the war’s leftover waste was subtracted. The regression analysis predicts that in 2050, Iraq’s CDW generation will reach 430.66 kg/capita.
