Current objectives towards sustainable building and civil engineering are leading to new challenges for the construction industry. The life cycle engineering approach takes into account all aspects of construction practice, from design, construction, and service life management, to demolition and the recycling of materials. This book explains how to optimise the structures for the entire design life, through an optimum integrated life cycle design process. Sustainability and performance issues are detailed. Integrated Life Cycle Design of Structures provides a comprehensive account of this rapidly emerging field. It is essential reading for civil and structural engineers, designers, architects, contractors, and clients. ISBN 9780415252355
