  9. CONCEPT (2)

  10. DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS (1) “Sustainable design recognizes the interdependence of the built and natural environments; it seeks to harness natural energy flows and biological processes, eliminate reliance on fossil fuels and toxic materials, and improve resources and efficiency. In the short run, the impact of these changes will reduce the environmental impact of our designs. In the long run, the goal is to create buildings that are not only not harmful but actually part of natural systems and restorative of those systems. Sustainable design is concerned with the quality of our environment as a whole system”

  11. DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS (2)

  12. MODEL Is this the ONLY possibility?

  13. Challenges ahead in The Built Environment URBANIZATION • More people means;More houses, shops, work-places, roads etc.More demand of products and servicesGreater demand for land • More People = More Cities • => More Impact • New Ideas, New Paradigms, New Approaches to Building and Construction are URGENTLY needed.

  14. Other industries Production of (62.7%) materials for construction (10.9%) Transportation related to Operation of construction Building (5.0%) (10.2%) Construction work (1.3%) Operation of Business facilities (9.9%) Energy Consumption of Building & Construction

  21. ¤Part I DBHS AS AN ‘ADAPTABLE BUILDING’ MODEL

  22. Background Definition 1: “Adaptable Building” • In principle is a building that can last while its part gradually change thus place lighter load on natural and human resources and provide value to future generations. Kendall and Ando (2004)

  23. Background Definition 2: “Adaptable Building” • Also means that a particular building system is capable of adapting to a particular situation or use; such as regional and climatic variances that include social, cultural and technical differences. Kibert, C.J., et. al (2002)

  24. Background Definition: “Adaptable Building”model • A building system that is worthy of emulation. • DBHS as an example of “adaptable building” model is a building system that is worth to be emulated for sustainable housing scheme among developing countries.

  25. Building related waste generation in Japan C&DW amounts to 20% of all the industrial waste and this amounts to 70% of illegal dumping. Increment of C&DW in JAPAN 1995 12 million tonnes 2010 42 million tonnes 2025 56 million tonnes In 2000, Japan achieved 26% of recycling rate for C&DW

  26. Solid waste generation Unlike Japan, there is no compilation of C&DW amounts in Malaysia, Indonesia, China and India; however statistics show increase projection Of MSW data: Table 2: 1995 and 2025 Urban Per Capita MSW generation in Selected countries in Asian region

  29. Dry-Masonry Brick House System (DBHS) To enable reduce, reuse and recycle of building materials becomes easier, as a condition to provide more flexibility in structural engineering, is proposed. Effective Use of Resources Demolition a system in which materials of different kinds (heterogeneous) shall not be bonded Construction scrap Reduce Scrap SRB-DUP Structure

  30. Dry-Masonry Brick House System (DBHS) • Dry-Masonrymeans a dry method of constructing brick house where mortar is not required but instead “Steel Reinforced Brick construction based on Distribution of Unbonded Prestress (SRB-DUP) theory is used. Fig. 8: Double-storey DBHS Experimental House and 3D-view of clay brick used in the project. 2nd Experimental House

  32. Unbonded Structural System Structural composition of SRB-DUP Method consists of 6 main components, where vertical & horizontal reinforcements elements provide high strength quality in the seismic resistant DBHS wall Fig. 9: Structural Composition of DBHS Wall with SRB-DUP Method

  33. Prestressed Unit for SRB-DUP Brick ・Larger Hole = Nut Hole ・Smaller Hole = Bolt Hole ・Including Joint Part in Vertical and Header Side ・Uniform Unit Size by Grinding

  34. Building Technology for Sustainability Outline of SRB-DUP Construction Method

  35. Outline of SRB-DUP Construction Method Using vertical reinforcing element (Bolts and Nuts) and horizontal reinforcing plates, each unit is bolted and fixed (prestressed). DUP structure is constructed with breaking joint.

  36. Sustainable Housing System • DBHS is a dismantle-able building system (structure) that incorporates DFD and DFR in its design-stage. • Achieve high Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and low Life Cycle Cost (LCC) performance. • During construction of DBHS experimental house in Kumamoto Pref., 98.34% of bricks used in the construction can be REUSED and the balance 1.66% can be RECYCLED. • Other parts like steel bolts, nuts and plates can 100% be RECYCLED caused they can be easily recovered and separated. Takasu and Khamidi (2001)

  37. Summary of Conclusions ¤Part I • Growth in construction activities increases the rate of C&DW generation, thus its reduction becomes important. • A dismantle-able building system (structure) that incorporates DFD and DFR can be used as a sustainable housing scheme that emphasizes C&DW minimization. • Promotes 3R–reduce-reuse-recycle; enhances its application as an ‘adaptable building’ model. • Developing countries throughout Asian region highly regards brick as the main building material, therefore adapting DHBS is relevant and significant.
