Concrete Life Cycle Design
Design and procurement based on holistic whole life appraisal can improve functional quality and, therefore, the overall cost effectiveness and performance of buildings. It is furthermore expected these principles can strengthen the competitiveness of concrete. The initial part of the work, analysed requirements on buildings and how concrete provides answers to these. Life cycle costing, enviro...
متن کاملLife-Cycle Performance Framework for Building Sustainability: Integration Beyond Building Science
In spite of the progress in the development of methods and tools to support sustainable building design, there is still a lack of a formal method to bridge the “no man’s land” gap between the traditional building engineering disciplines, and between these and the architecture, to achieve the level of building integration required for sustainability. The framework described in this paper is an a...
متن کاملBIM-Based Life-Cycle Management for Reinforced Concrete Buildings
This paper introduces the concept of a BIM-based life-cycle management system for reinforced concrete buildings. The system allows one to compute a prognosis of the building’s condition taking into account the material properties of individual components, the environmental load as well as measurement data from current inspections. This prognosis then forms foundations for scheduled maintenance ...
متن کامل3D Building Model-Based Life-Cycle Management of Reinforced Concrete Bridges
Since large parts of western countries' infrastructure have been erected in the early 1960's, many infrastructure buildings such as concrete bridges are now entering a critical age, where the need for continuous inspection and reconditioning is becoming apparent. Facing these challenges, many national highway authorities have developed computer systems that allow for the management of data coll...
متن کاملDetermination of Optimum Insulation Thickness for Building Walls in Iran Using Life Cycle Cost Analysis
Air-Conditioning (AC) systems are responsible for a considerable portion of the energy consumption in buildings located in high cooling load requiring regions of Iran. In addition, the heat flow through the buildingschr('39') external walls plays a major role in cooling load estimations for the countrychr('39')s hot regions. Therefore, application of insulation materials in external walls has g...
