0.5

0.00 1.00

Is the element corroded?

Is the element damaged or distorted?

Do you have additional information on the building?

Are there steel-concrete composite connections?

Is there fire protection on the element?

Availability of sufficient amount of potential reusable elements?

Does the element pass standard geometric check without modification?

Logistic Feasibility

Weight of the structural element

Ease to handle, transport, store, and process?

Availability of dismantle-sort-repair infrastructure

Special protection is needed for transportation?

Dismantle phase is compatible with demolition work?

Availability of storage

Structural Performance

Quality of available data?

Is the building designed and constructed after year 2005?

Did the structure has maintenance before?

Is the structural element unique for its purpose?

Is it possible to conduct sample testing?

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

Please select how you prefer to input the weight of the elements.

Weight of single element

Weight of single element [kg]:

Number of items:

Dimension of single element

Height of the element [mm]:

Width of the element [mm]:

Length of the element [m]:

Material unit weight [kg/m³]:

Number of items:

Bulk material weight

Bulk weight of the material [kg]:

Product stage A1-A3 Coefficent [kgCO₂e]:

End of life stage C1-C4 Coefficent [kgCO₂e]:

Reuse, recycle and recovery stage D Coefficent [kgCO₂e]:

Suggestion for the End-of-Life Scenario

Depending on the loaded images, 0% is corroded, 0% is bolted, 0% is damaged

Based on the input evaluation, the efficient end-of-life scenario is:
