Abstract
A systematic search of scientific literature on the topic of Design for Disassembly (DfD) in the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry was performed with a special focus on study cases. The results were augmented by electronic magazine search due to the non-representative amount of data found in the scientific database. Results show the domination of wood and steel solutions among architects and engineers designing for disassembly. Frame structural system is preferable. DfD structures are mainly located in Europe but observed in the whole world and growing exponentially since 90'. The database with 117 built DfD study cases is made available online and will be further developed.
Highlights
The systematic literature search, based on the identified relevant keywords was used to identify the relevant literature
Analysis of current state of Design for Disassembly (DfD) The group of 62 out of 213 scientific publications was identified as analysis of DfD in AEC and was further scanned for main common topics and several subcategories were detected: a) Identification of barriers is a focus within the group of 7 out of 62 papers
D) The three identified review papers focused on the design process for DfD [10], DfD within building information modelling Building Information Modelling (BIM) [11], and building strategies for the circular economy [12]
Summary
The systematic literature search, based on the identified relevant keywords was used to identify the relevant literature. The keywords were refined initially after preliminary searches for maximum inclusivity and precision in hits. The same search method was adapted to two data sources: scientific publication databases and online magazine publications. The field of AEC was ensured by search keywords, while in the second the group of the most popular magazines was selected a priori. The subject keywords were identical for both searches. The results of the searches were mapped to create an overview of the whole DfD domain and indicate research focus areas compared to AEC activity in DfD. The mapping was done based on two questions
