A Simple, Closed-Form Method for Determining the Superelevation of Tall Reinforced Concrete Buildings

David Michael Volpe Ruggiero, Paola Costanza Miglietta

The vertical shortening of tall buildings is not negligible, and it is important to account for these deformations to minimize differential movement and ensure that the finished building is level. Compensation via superelevation is common in reinforced con ...

From concrete waste to walls An investigation of reclamation and digital technologies for new load-bearing structures

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Stefana Parascho, Maxence Grangeot

The research presented in this paper highlights current practices for the end-of-life of concrete and explores opportunities in using unaltered concrete rubbles from demolition for the digital construction of structural walls. Through research by iterative ...

Zürich Stadtspital Triemli Personalhäuser – Resource assessment of structural elements

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Maléna Bastien Masse, Célia Marine Küpfer, Julie Rachel Devènes

The Triemli Personalhäuser are three equal 15-story buildings located on the Zürich Triemli Stadtspital campus and erected between 1964 and 1969. Cast-in-place reinforced concrete (RC) slabs and walls form the building cores and their surrounding corridors ...

Environmental and economic analysis of new construction techniques reusing existing concrete elements: two case studies

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Maléna Bastien Masse, Célia Marine Küpfer, Julie Rachel Devènes

As the most widely used construction material worldwide, concrete is the main cause of greenhouse gas emissions, material depletion, and waste generation by the construction industry. Typically, concrete waste is crushed and, at best, reclaimed into recycl ...

Re:Crete - A Footbridge made of Reused Concrete Blocks

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Maléna Bastien Masse, Célia Marine Küpfer, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting, Julie Rachel Devènes

Today, concrete is the most widely used construction material worldwide. Strong, versatile, durable, and vector of economic development, this exceptional material is also the principal cause of greenhouse-gas emissions, material depletion and waste generat ...

Comparative approach of the environmental impact induced by different architectural visions of a new periurban neighbourhood

Sophie Lufkin, Sergi Aguacil Moreno, Martine Laprise

The objective of this research work is to compare the environmental impact, expressed in terms of non-renewable cumulative energy demand (CEDnr) and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, of nine architectural visions for a new neighbourhood located in the periur ...

Re:Crete – reuse of concrete elements in new structures: A footbridge prototype

Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Maléna Bastien Masse, Célia Marine Küpfer, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting, Julie Rachel Devènes

Concrete accounts for the largest share of worldwide building material use and waste generation, with cement production being responsible for approximately 9% of global anthropogenic CO2 emissions. A currently untapped strategy to significantly reduce thes ...
