Digital ecosystem for circular concrete Elements

Sub-project C01 aims to develop a holistic approach from the extraction and pro-cessing to the use of concrete elements through integrated processes and information. A digital ecosystem for circular concrete elements will provide a basis for decisions on the extent to which extracted elements from a source building can be reused for the construction of new buildings. An assessment of supply and demand will show if the design of a target build-ing will require the additional use of new or hybrid-reconditioned elements. The ecosystem includes the interaction of digital twins of the concrete elements with the digital models of an existing source building, the intermediate depot, the production of hybrid-reconditioned elements and finally, the new target building.
