At Northeastern University, professor Jerome F. Hajjar chairs the department of civil and environmental engineering. He said a useful way to think about how the shift to more sustainable engineering could be accelerated was by looking at the transition to buildings designed to better withstand or control damage from earthquakes.directed at reducing death and injury among new and existing buildings in the 1970s, '80s, and '90s.
"We've developed structural systems for steel buildings that use various types of planks for the floor system that can be clamped to the top flange of a steel floor framing," he told Insider in reference to a method used to connect or attach objects."But then they can be unclamped and the steel unbolted at the end of its useful life.
"I think that being able to reuse and refabricate is one example of trying to cut down significantly on the amount of energy required for construction," he said. Another challenge to making civil engineering more sustainable is the complexity of certain core construction materials, like concrete, which involves numerous materials in traditional andIt doesn't help that the vast majority of research funded in US is also focused on new construction and new types of systems. There is also the issue of theOne thing that makes Hajjar optimistic about the future is new programs like Northeastern's master's degree in.
"They're so excited to get out into industry and help drive these issues forward," he said."It's been really successful."Subscribe to push notifications
