This study aims to sensitize all structural engineers to the fundamental aspects of circular construction. It presents simple evaluation criteria that can guide planning without the need for detailed prior knowledge, special software or specific circularity indices. The focus of this study is on the most volume-intensive building components - the slab systems. Therefore, six selected slab systems including the finishing layers are analysed with regard to their recycling potential. This study focuses in particular on the dismantling of entire components as well as the ability to separate the individual components. The analysis showed that in many of the slab systems examined, the components can only be separated at great effort and the materials used are usually downcycled. One solution is the design-for-deconstruction planning approach, which considers the dismantling capability of the components and thus focuses on the reuse of the components. Only one of the slab systems offers a high circular potential due to the easy separability of the components and high-quality recycling.</p>","PeriodicalId":55396,"journal":{"name":"Bautechnik","volume":"102 9","pages":"523-533"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145197243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The idea is to deconstruct the existing structures into elements in a planned manner instead of demolishing them. To this end, the extracted elements must be characterized in terms of their properties, refurbished or strengthened if necessary, and assembled into new load-bearing structures in a modular fashion. Over the planned duration of the CRC the entire process chain will be systematically and collaboratively covered within sub-projects, project groups and interaction chains. The interaction chain “Governing Uncertainties” presented herein focuses on the development and testing of experimental, numerical and data-driven methods and strategies for a comprehensive yet fast and non-destructive characterization of the dismantled elements. On this basis, durability and load-bearing models are to be developed to enable the reliable prediction of the remaining service life under various load scenarios and exposures during reuse taking into account the multiple uncertainties.

The Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DfMA) principle, which considers the planning of manufacturing and assembly as an integral part of the design process and systematically quantifies and evaluates their impact on time and cost at an early stage, has been a major contributor to this productivity growth. The construction industry can also benefit from the principles of DfMA and apply them, for example, in the design of industrially prefabricated structures made of modular precast concrete elements. In the Priority Programme 2187 “Adaptive modularised constructions made in a flux” by the German Research Foundation, such modular construction methods are being investigated in a holistic and interdisciplinary approach, from design and production processes to automated quality control and digital representation. This article shows how DfMA is applied as a design principle in this context and which design solutions have been derived from it in the individual subprojects of SPP 2187.</p>","PeriodicalId":55396,"journal":{"name":"Bautechnik","volume":"102 8","pages":"458-470"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2025-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144905669","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
