Integrated Environment-Conscious Life-Cycle Design (Eco-Life-Cycle Design) of Building Structural Composite Materials, Components, and/or Systems -as a Basis of Establishment of Sustainable Eco-buildings and Eco-cities-

Abstract

In order to develop effective environmentally benign manufacturing and materials processing (EBM) in architecture, concept and procedures of integrated environment-conscious life-cycle design (Eco-LCD) are proposed and reported, for building structural composite materials, and components such as steel reinforced concrete (RC), and continuous fiber reinforced concrete (FRPRC), and/or systems such as external thermal insulation ones (ETI) using short-cut fiber reinforced cement composites (FRC) including thermal insulations as exterior thermal insulation panels.
