Current objectives towards sustainable building and civil engineering are leading to new challenges for the construction industry. The life cycle engineering approach takes into account all aspects of construction practice, from design, construction, and service life management, to demolition and the recycling of materials. Traditionally the process of design has concentrated on the construction phase itself, with the primary objective being to optimise efficiency and minimise costs during development and construction. With the move towards a more sustainable development comes the need for this short-term approach to be expanded to encompass the entire service life of the structure. This book describes how to optimise the service life of structures, through an optimum integrated life cycle design process. Sustainability and material performance issues are detailed. Integrated Life Cycle Design of Structures provides a comprehensive account of this rapidly emerging field. It is essential reading for civil and structural engineers, designers, architects, contractors, and clients. Dr T. Fukushima, Associate Director of Building Research Institute, Ministry of Construction, Japan. C. Muller, Rheinisch-Westallsche Technical University, Germany. J. Kummel, Universitat Stuttgart, G
