Most of historical buildings around the world have been constructed of differentmaterials depending on their structural configuration, components, use and geographicallocation. This has led to a great variety of construction materials for thevertical resistant system, slabs and roof. These buildings are extremely vulnerableto suffer strong damage against earthquakes due to different factors regarding geometricalconfiguration and features, materials, total height, use, location, recent rehabilitations,conservation state, etc. This type of buildings may present in case ofan earthquake partial or global collapses and generate different types of demolitionand collapse debris depending on rehabilitations and damage degree. The main debriscomes from collapses and demolitions with a variation of construction materialssuch as mud, masonry elements, mortar, concrete ties that serve to confine the masonryelements, furniture, plastic hoses, piping, dry-walls and garbage. This paper isobjected at describing the main typologies of historical constructions that are commonlylocated around the world, structural configuration and architectonic features,construction materials, common seismic damage, and interventions, as well as wastemanagement procedures and strategies. These strategies would be of great help forconstructors and authorities to follow a better management procedure regardingthe debris volume estimation, separation of waste, reuse, and recycling.
