ISO 13315-4:2017 PDF Download

ISO 13315-4:2017 is a standard that outlines the guidelines for the environmental design of concrete structures. The standard emphasizes the use of a lifecycle assessment (LCA) method or other suitable methods to assess and minimize the environmental impacts of concrete structures throughout their lifecycle.

The scope of ISO 13315-4:2017 extends to both individual concrete structures and complexes of concrete structures. It provides a general framework, principles, and requirements for conducting an environmental design, ensuring that environmental considerations are integrated into the design process from the early stages.

By incorporating environmental design principles, this standard aims to promote sustainable practices in the construction industry, reducing the overall ecological footprint of concrete structures while enhancing their performance and durability. It serves as a comprehensive guide for designers, engineers, and other professionals involved in the construction and environmental management of concrete structures, ensuring that environmental factors are prioritized throughout the design process.
