Considering current trends in the Netherlands with regards to sustainability, there is a strong desire at Delft University of Technology to incorporate sustainable structural design strategies in the civil and structural engineering curriculum. Based on literature study and own experiences in practice, a coherent approach was developed, that can help students and practitioners to increase sustainability in their projects. The approach consists of a roadmap with 4 key strategies: increase lifespan of existing structures by reusing them, increase lifespan of existing structural elements by reusing them, design future proof and with a long-life span, and optimise the design for environmental impact. The strategies are explained and illustrated with examples.

De rol van constructeurs in de aanpak van de klimaatcrisis
Een stappenplan voor duurzame constructies
MKI, MPG, BENG, CO2-neutraal, LCA, EPD, cascadering, circulair bouwen, donorskelet. De duurzaamheidsdiscussie is de laatste jaren opgelaaid en heeft geleid tot nieuwe termen, afkortingen en in gespecialiseerde duurzaamheidsconsultants met eigen jargon. Door de grote hoeveelheid en soms tegenstrijdige informatie, zie je door de bomen het bos niet meer. Wat is duurzaam construeren eigenlijk? Vraag het drie constructeurs en je krijgt vier verschillende antwoorden. Om de studenten van TU Delft hier meer houvast in te geven, is op basis van inzichten uit de literatuur en praktijkervaring een stappenplan opgezet.

Cross-laminated timber, or CLT, is receiving attention for its potential application in tall building structures. As a combustible material, one of the main challenges for the construction of these buildings is the fire risk that results from its use in the structure.
Unprotected CLT can burn along with the fuel load present in a compartment. Irrespective of the structure's fire resistance rating, it is uncertain whether the structure will be totally consumed in the event of a complete burnout. If the structure would continue to burn, this could result in collapse of the building. Alternatively, the fire could decay by self-extinguishment.
Self-extinguishment of CLT was investigated with a theoretical model that describes the conditions under which it could be achieved. Two series of experiments were conducted to quantify these conditions. It was concluded that there is a potential for self-extinguishment of CLT if fall-off of charred layers is prevented by applying sufficiently thick lamellae, if the heat flux on the CLT during smouldering is below 5–6 kW/m2, and if the airflow over the surface during smouldering is limited to a speed of 0.5 m/s. An exploration towards design implementation is presented. ...

Cross-laminated timber, or CLT, is receiving attention for its potential use in tall buildings. As a combustible material, one of the challenges for the construction of these buildings is the fire risk that results from its use in the structure. Unprotected CLT can burn along with the fuel load present in a compartment. Irrespective of its fire resistance rating, it is uncertain whether the structure will be totally consumed in the event of a complete burnout, or whether a fire would decay by self-extinguishment. Self-extinguishment of CLT was investigated by first creating a theoretical model that determined the conditions under which it could be achieved. Two series of experiments were subsequently conducted to quantify these conditions. Based on these experiments it was concluded that there is a potential for self-extinguishment of CLT if: delamination and falloff of charred layers are prevented by applying sufficiently thick lamellae; the heat flux on the CLT during smouldering is below 5 to 6 kW/m2; and the airflow over the CLT surface during smouldering is limited to a speed of 0,5 m/s at heat flux exposures below 6 kW/m2.
