A review of advances in design for disassembly with active disassembly applications

This contribution presents the meta-design research scenario of the sustainable building redevelopment of the INA Casa “Sbarre Inferiori” district in Reggio Calabria based on a twofold reflection. On the one hand, the transformative potential, both technological and formal, of the public housing stock created under the INA Casa Plan. On the other, the extension of the life cycle of the buildings and the improvement of the spatial quality of the housing according to a circular, low-tech and ecological approach. The result is an abacus of technological additions in bio-xlam conceived according to the principles of Design for Disassembly, which allows the reuse of the modules in new spatial and functional configurations, and the remanufacturing and recycling of the elements at the end of their life.

Principles Of Design

Design for disassembly (DfD) is a promising sustainable design paradigm for the construction sector development. Thus, the study provides a critical review on the principle of design for disassembly for a period of 8year. The study revealed that documentation of materials and methods, standardization of components and use mechanical joints instead of chemical joints were most frequent principle that are used for design for disassembly. The finding revealed that authors from Australia, United Kingdom and United states have made the most contribution to principles on DfD. Moreover, the study has provided a checklist to promote this design paradigm.

Design For Recycling

In order to make design for board to achieve the miniaturization, multi-purpose, recycling; and to pursue the energy conservation, saving materials, little waste, the closed circuit in the technology, it is necessary to carry on the research of green design for board. Based on analyzing requirement of the market adequately, green design for multi-purpose dovetail groove board is presented. The research primary including: Firstly, choice of material for green design of board; Secondly, design for disassembly of board; Thirdly, design for recycling & recovering of board; finally, applications of board. The research has certain theory value and the practice significance.
