Abstract:

The issue of sustainability becomes more and more important in the building industry. Within the scope of the German FOSTA research project P881 “Sustainable office buildings in steel composite construction” [1] recommendations and planning tools for slabs and columns in consideration of structural and technical as well as economic and ecological requirements were developed. In this paper, firstly, the requirement profiles of ceiling systems and columns are demonstrated. Deepened discussed are the possibilities of an environmentally compliant design for structural components, which includes optimisations of static, ecological and economical aspects. For the purpose of reuse and considering deconstruction a systematisation of structural components as well as the environmentally compliant design are implemented. Furthermore, concepts for the increase of resource efficiency are demonstrated.
