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 ...
2024RE:SLAB — a load bearing system for open-ended component reuse in building structures
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Jan Friedrich Georg Brütting, Dario Redaelli, Alex-Manuel Muresan, Edisson Xavier Estrella Arcos
The construction industry plays a major role in the high levels of greenhouse gas emissions, resource consumption, and waste generation observed nowadays. Key to the circular economy, structural component reuse arises as a promising solution to divert cons ...
2024Geometry-Driven Stock-Constrained Truss Design via Equilibrium-Based Structural Models
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Tao Sun
This paper presents a geometry-driven approach to form-finding with reused stock elements. Our proposed workflow uses a K-mean algorithm to cluster stock elements and incorporate their geometrical values early in the form-finding process. A feedback loop i ...
Springer2024Reuse of cut concrete slabs in new buildings for circular ultra-low-carbon floor designs
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Célia Marine Küpfer, Numa Joy Bertola
The study explores an original idea that responds to the urgent need to reduce the detrimental environmental impacts of load-bearing floor construction in new buildings by reusing saw-cut reinforced concrete (RC) pieces salvaged from soon-to-be demolished ...
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 ...
IABSE2024Rising from rubble - Leveraging existing construction tools for upcycling concrete waste into slender walls
Katrin Beyer, Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Stefana Parascho, Qianqing Wang, Maxence Grangeot
In this paper, we present a new method for upcycling concrete rubble waste into slender walls through the lightweight digital augmentation of mainstream construction machines. By using such method, the environmental impact of concrete construction and demo ...
Springer2024Multiscale Spatiotemporal Characterization of Embodied Environmental Performance of Building Structures in Geneva from 1850 to 2018
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Catherine Elvire L. De Wolf, Serena Vanbutsele
Load-bearing systems in buildings, significant in material use and embodied greenhouse gas emissions (EGHGE), have lacked detailed analysis on their environmental and functional relationships over time and space. This study evaluates the environmental impa ...
2024Structural component reuse of precast and cast-in-place reinforced concrete in architecture since the late 1960s in Europe
Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Célia Marine Küpfer
The reuse of concrete pieces salvaged from structures undergoing transformation or demolition into new architectural projects has gained a sudden and visible interest over the past five years. However, the practice of reusing concrete pieces in new structu ...
