From the Earth’s Birth to Present The Earth is 4.6 billion year old. Life has evolved for 4 billion years. Origin of modern humans was born 100,000 years ago Agricultural revolution occurred 10 thousand years ago. Industrial revolution occurred 250 years ago. Modern cement was invented in 1824. Concept “sustainable development” was defined in 1987.

Our Common Future (World Comm. on Env. and Dev.)“Sustainable development is development that meets  the needs of the 

present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” Kyoto protocol (COP3) was adopted in 1997 and entered into 

force in 2005. UN Conference on Sustainable development (Rio+20) is held 

on June 2012.

What was happening in the Earth’s climate since its birth? (to be Cont’d)

The Earth repeatedly experienced climate warming and cooling due to:(1) change in gases in atmosphere:

‐major volcanic activity‐ photosynthesis‐ asteroid collision

(2) change of inclination of the Earth’s axisof  rotation and eccentricity of its orbit

What was happening in the Earth’s climate since its birth? (Cont’d)

Carbon cycling on a geological time scale ‐ from CO2 gas to carbon fixation

Rapid increase of atmospheric CO2 levels‐ acceleration of global carboncycling by humankind

Global warming by green house gases ?

Greenhouse Gas Effect on Climateof Planets

Mercury (nearest to Sun ): 167 ℃ (no CO2) Venus: 464 ℃ (high CO2 : 96%:) Earth: 15 ℃ (0.038% CO2)Mars: ‐ 63 ℃ (very thin CO2)

“Global greenhouse effect due to increasing CO2 is so evident. Of course, we do not know exactly how much it will affect the Earth in the future, depending on GHG increase. Then, do we ignore it?”

Natures of Concrete Industry (1)

Essentially local industry“Concrete structures are built by local people using local materials.”

Component materials of concreteaggregate, cement, water, others“Concrete is made from the most abundantsubstances on the Earth.”

Page 8: Concrete and Sustainability - Petra Christian Universitypuskom.petra.ac.id/assets/Uploads/file-pdf/01-Koji... · From the Earth’s Birth to Present The Earth is 4.6 billionyear old

Natures of Concrete Industry (2)

This is the main reason why its productionhas been able to expand to respond togrowing construction demand.

Concrete is the second most consumed substance on Earth after water (more than20 billion tons).

Page 9: Concrete and Sustainability - Petra Christian Universitypuskom.petra.ac.id/assets/Uploads/file-pdf/01-Koji... · From the Earth’s Birth to Present The Earth is 4.6 billionyear old

Natures of Concrete Industry (3)

Contemporary society can not exist withoutconcrete.

Development of a nation is directly correlated to its consumption of concrete,i.e. the increase of construction investment.

What are the Problems on Concrete from Sustainability’s Point of View?

Inadequate safety and reliability of concrete structures to unforeseen external forceEnormous consumption of natural resourcesGeneration of a large amount of CO2 incement/steel productions and constructionworks

Page 13: Concrete and Sustainability - Petra Christian Universitypuskom.petra.ac.id/assets/Uploads/file-pdf/01-Koji... · From the Earth’s Birth to Present The Earth is 4.6 billionyear old

Safety and Reliability

Our design standards and specifications on safety have been improved based on manyexperiences from serious disaster by forexample severe earthquakes.

However, we have still the problems that we can not foresee. It is reasonable to think that we can not control the movement of the Earth.

Japan Disaster

The earthquake destroyed social and economic infrastructures.The earthquake caused tsunami that also destroyed the infrastructures and houses/buildings.The tsunami destroyed the electric power facilities, that led to interruption of cooling water supply, the hydrogen explosion in NPP occurred and radioactive substances scattered over the region.

Lessons from Japan Disaster

Without robust infrastructures and houses/buildings, human society has no chance of sustainability:(1) Environmental aspects(2) Economic aspects(3) Social aspects

Page 28: Concrete and Sustainability - Petra Christian Universitypuskom.petra.ac.id/assets/Uploads/file-pdf/01-Koji... · From the Earth’s Birth to Present The Earth is 4.6 billionyear old

Environmental Aspects

Crustal deformation changed natural environment. (Nature destroyed nature!)Huge amounts of rubble were generated.Huge amounts of resources and energy are necessary to rebuild infrastructures and houses/buildings.Radioactive contamination occurred in some regions.

Page 29: Concrete and Sustainability - Petra Christian Universitypuskom.petra.ac.id/assets/Uploads/file-pdf/01-Koji... · From the Earth’s Birth to Present The Earth is 4.6 billionyear old

Economic Aspects

The economic activity in the regions collapsed. A cluster of plants producing automotive and electronic parts that served the world stopped.

The overseas transfer of manufacturing plants will be accelerated. Local economy will collapse.

Many people lost their job and therefore income.Huge amounts of investment is necessary to reconstruct the region. 20 trillion yen?

Cleaning up radioactive contamination (cesium etc.) is needed.

Page 30: Concrete and Sustainability - Petra Christian Universitypuskom.petra.ac.id/assets/Uploads/file-pdf/01-Koji... · From the Earth’s Birth to Present The Earth is 4.6 billionyear old

Social Aspects

There were 20,000 victims.Many people lost their homes.Long‐term evacuation of the local population is expected due to radioactive contamination.Many jobs were lost.

Page 31: Concrete and Sustainability - Petra Christian Universitypuskom.petra.ac.id/assets/Uploads/file-pdf/01-Koji... · From the Earth’s Birth to Present The Earth is 4.6 billionyear old

Essence of Sustainability

The destruction of social infrastructure and facilities exerts a lethal negative impact on economic and social activity. In other words, the basis of sustainability collapsed.

On the other hand, the simple expansion of economic activity using the infrastructures is not desirable from a sustainability’s perspective.

The enhancement in resource and energy efficiency to facilitate economic expansion and safety society is our ultimate goal, which is the essence of sustainability.

Clay: 540 million tons (assuming 3 billion cement production)

Water: 1.5 billion tons

Total for resources use in concrete: more than 16 billion tons (if doubled in the future?   Huge!)

Negative Impacts in Concrete and Steel Productions

Enormity of resources usedGeneration of large amounts of CO2, global warming gas

However, no material can replace concrete and steel. Wood, for instance, has an extremely limited range of use for living and activities of 7 billion people. If wood is used instead of concrete and steel, other environmental problems, including land use, will occur.

Future Perspectives on Sustainability

Global population reached 7 billions.Balance among safety/reliance, resource/energy consumption, goods/ service supply, and environmental burden is a key in sustainability.Three scenarios are possible as the function of population, living standard, and resource/energy efficiency.

How about Concrete and Construction Industries!

Robust buildings and infrastructure are the basis of sustainability. If the population increases and living standards rise, demand for buildings and infrastructure development increases.As a direct or indirect consequence, resource and energy consumption grows.Therefore, scenario 3 should be the target of our industry, too.

What are the Problems to be Solved?

The balance among resources/energy consumption (environmental aspects), economy, and safety/reliability (social aspect) is important for the sustainability of our society.

There are still issues regarding the robustness of existing buildings and infrastructure.

The available technology and assessment rules for reducing all negative impacts are not  adequate.

Conflict between Structural Safety and Environmental Issues

If a large degree of redundancy is adopted, the degree of safety increases. But, this generally increases the amount of resources and energy used. If  a low level of redundancy is adopted, highly efficient resource and energy consumption results, but the degree of safety decreases in respect of actions exceeding the assumed level.

Design Basis of Concrete Structure

It is not economically practicable to design a structure that completely excludes destruction by unforeseen great external forces that may occur in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a level of performance that holds damage to the level of partial destruction without collapse of the entire structure, in the case of an unforeseen great action of very low probability.

Facts on Damage of Structures in Japan Disaster

Wooden houses were destroyed by the tsunami. Many bridges just fell down by the tsunami.

Reinforced concrete buildings escaped destruction from the tsunami and therefore many people’s lives were saved.

The columns and beams of Tohoku‐Shinkansenviaducts suffered damage, but it amounted only to localized destruction, not whole collapse. As a result, train accidents were prevented and the viaduct recovered within a short time.

Scenarios on Safety and Environmental Burden

Scenario 1: Increasing the degree of safety under current technology leads to an increase in environmental burden.

Scenario 2: Improvement to materials and structure allow the degree of safety to be increased without increasing environmental burden.

Scenario 3: Introduction of innovative technology in materials and structure reduces environmental burden and increase safety.

Concluding Remarks (1)

Human being invented a great idea “sustainability” at the end of 20th century.From the idea, our problems have become quite clear.For ourselves and future generations, it is very important to create the reasonable systems that achieve sustainable society.Concrete is the keystone for that.

Concluding Remarks (2)

In contemporary society, almost all people utilize infrastructure and spend long periods of time inside houses and buildings, which are built with concrete.Therefore, creating safety structures with low environmental burden, which is the essence of sustainability, is the responsibility of those of us working in the concrete and construction industry.
