Le béton de réemploi, précieuse ressource territoriale
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Maléna Bastien Masse, Célia Marine Küpfer
Si la rénovation ou la transformation d’un bâtiment existant ne sont plus possibles, et que sa démolition est décidée, le réemploi des éléments qui le composent est une approche à explorer. En particulier, le réemploi d’éléments de structures en béton extr ...
2024Reusability assessment of reinforced concrete components prior to deconstruction from obsolete buildings
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Maléna Bastien Masse, Julie Rachel Devènes
A large part of building demolitions is motivated by purely socio-economic reasons. Hence, about-to-be-demolished structures, commonly made of reinforced concrete, very often present no or little degradation. When adaptive reuse of the entire building is n ...
2024A concrete answer for circular construction: three prototypes reusing saw-cut elements
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Maléna Bastien Masse, Célia Marine Küpfer
Existing concrete buildings should be retained for as long as possible to reduce the environmental burden of demolition and new construction. However, when urban pressure makes demolition unavoidable, salvaging and reusing concrete elements elsewhere in ne ...
2024FLO:RE – A new floor system made of reused reinforced concrete and steel elements
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Maléna Bastien Masse, Célia Marine Küpfer, Numa Joy Bertola
Carefully extracting reinforced concrete (RC) elements from soon-to-be demolished structures and reusing them as load-bearing components is an emerging circular low-carbon alternative to building new structures. As floor construction typically accounts for ...
IABSE2024Reuse of concrete components in new construction projects: Critical review of 77 circular precedents
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Maléna Bastien Masse, Célia Marine Küpfer
Extracting pieces of concrete from obsolete buildings and reusing them, as is, in new assemblies is today rarely considered a strategy for improving the sustainability of the construction sector. By delaying the crushing of concrete into aggregates and avo ...
2023Reusability Assessment of Obsolete Reinforced Concrete Structural Components
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Maléna Bastien Masse, Célia Marine Küpfer, Julie Rachel Devènes
The production of concrete, the most widely used construction material, detrimentally affects the environment. Obsolete reinforced concrete (RC) load-bearing structures, even when still in good condition, are today prematurely crushed and landfilled or rec ...
Springer2023Building structures made of reused cut reinforced concrete slabs and walls: A case study
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Maléna Bastien Masse, Nicole Widmer
Reuse of reinforced concrete (RC) components reduces construction’s environmental impacts and waste. Rather than crushing the concrete of an obsolete structure, its components are saw cut and later reassembled in a new structure. The theoretical feasibilit ...
CRC Press2023Low-tech methods for the reuse of reinforced concrete structural elements
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Maléna Bastien Masse, Nicole Widmer, Julie Rachel Devènes
Most of existing buildings are made of concrete, new buildings are being built with it and others are demolished when still in good structural condition. This drives increased demands for raw materials, greenhouse gas emissions, and an accumulation of demo ...
2023Re: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 ...
Asociación Española de Ingeniería Estructura2022Zürich 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 ...
