2 CLASS #TU5

3 SUSCOS 2016/2018 Design of sustainable constructions 3 Cradle to gate of a column

4 SUSCOS 2016/2018 Design of sustainable constructions 4 Goal of the analysis: Comparative environmental analysis of a load-bearing column, with different cross-sections (see Table 1), considering a cradle-to-gate approach Define system boundaries and functional unit. Expected results: Table or flow chart with inputs and outputs per functional unit / reference.

5 SUSCOS 2016/2018 Design of sustainable constructions 5 1. Functional Unit: A simple-supported column, 5 m long, with a load bearing capacity of an axial force of 5000 kn and a bending moment of 100 knm (around the strong axis for the profile column). 2. System Boundaries: A cradle-to-gate approach including the following processes: Extracção das matérias primas Transporte Produção dos materiais Cradle to Gate

6 SUSCOS 2016/2018 Design of sustainable constructions 6 3. For the transportation of raw materials to the plant for the production of materials, consider the following distances: Transportation of raw materials for steel: 7000 km (by ship); Transportation of crushed aggregates: 100 km (by road); Transportation of natural aggregates: 80 km (by road);) Transportation of cement: 500 km (by train). 4. Characterization factors are provided in Tables Impact categories: Acidification (AC), Global Warming (GW), Photochemical Oxidation (POCP), renewable and non-renewable energies.

7 SUSCOS 2016/2018 Design of sustainable constructions 7 6. Prepare inventory data - environmental data: (Calculate quantities per functional / declared unit, calculate raw material transport (txkm), prepare table with compilation of all data per functional / declared unit)
