FIELD SURVEY AND ANALYSIS ON TRANSPORTATION CONDITIONS OF BUILDING MATERIALS IN BUILDING CONSTRUCTION PROCESS

Abstract

This study intends to analyze techniques and systems to mitigate environmental impacts on transportation load of building materials based on the field survey in building construction process. The procedure of study was as follows, to select the typical steel structure building constructed in Tokyo area, to investigate transportation conditions from raw materials plants to the construction site of building, and finally to analyze the transportation routes/means, loading capacities, and packaging to their transportation conditions. It would be useful to reduce the CO₂ emissions due to energy consumption during transportation.
