Abstract:
The objective of this paper is to indicate the importance of considering environmental problems in the process of life cycles of structures. This is because environmental problems have been drastically and the construction industry is supposed to be one of the key factors of those problems. Hence, there is a call from the socicty for the responsibility of the construction industry. Recently, several standards guiding for environment friendly construction are launched. Those standards mostly recommend considering the environmental impacts at the construction stage. However, this is not enough, because the environmental impacts can occur any time from the beginning to the end of service life. Hence, in order to consider environmental problem due to the structure construction the assessmant should be
conducted over the structure longevityaccumulating and growing,
