“…38.6% of the analysed contributions (32 papers) are devoted to assess the sustainability of different aspects related to the design of buildings. While some authors have focused on the design assessment of particular elements of the building structure, such as slabs [19,20], columns [21], and beams [22], others pay attention to the sustainable design of building envelopes [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31]. Pons and Aguado [32], Akadiri et al [33], Motuziene et al [34], Samani et al [35], and Nassar et al [36] also compare the sustainability of the application of different construction materials to buildings.…”

“…25.3% of the analysed manuscripts take into consideration the generation of waste resulting from the industrial processes involved in the production of construction materials or from the demolition works. Consideration is given to both solid wastes from construction materials [22,26] and water wastes [86]. Land use is an environmental concept that implies both land occupation and transformation of land.…”

“…Assessment by experts through point scale Qualitative [33,42] e impact of an infrastructure on the social wellbeing is included in 34 manuscripts (41% of total) and combines aspects such as public acceptance [31,50,66,69,70,101], social welfare and income increase [48,71,73,81], accessibility [78,79,86], or leisure [76]. Assessments focused on building and road pavement design also account for the comfort of the users [26,27,30,45,88,92].…”

Given the great impacts associated with the construction and maintenance of infrastructures in both the environmental, the economic and the social dimensions, a sustainable approach to their design appears essential to ease the fulfilment of the Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations. Multicriteria decision-making methods are usually applied to address the complex and often conflicting criteria that characterise sustainability. The present study aims to review the current state of the art regarding the application of such techniques in the sustainability assessment of infrastructures, analysing as well the sustainability impacts and criteria included in the assessments. The Analytic Hierarchy Process is the most frequently used weighting technique. Simple Additive Weighting has turned out to be the most applied decision-making method to assess the weighted criteria. Although a life cycle assessment approach is recurrently used to evaluate sustainability, standardised concepts, such as cost discounting, or presentation of the assumed functional unit or system boundaries, as required by ISO 14040, are still only marginally used. Additionally, a need for further research in the inclusion of fuzziness in the handling of linguistic variables is identified.

“…From the analysis, it is derived that AHP methods used in the context of sustainability has acquired particular relevance since 2015, as 50.9% of the articles reviewed have been published only in the range of years between 2015 and 2018. Design of columns [6], slabs [7], flooring and roof systems [8,9], energy efficiency of building projects [10][11][12][13][14], use of alternative building materials [15,16]. Attention is also paid to particularities of industrial [17][18][19], school [20] and residential modular buildings [21].…”

In recent times, a great deal of interest has emerged from different sectors of society towards sustainability and sustainable product design. Decision makers are increasingly encouraged to take into consideration the economic, environmental and social dimensions of reality when dealing with problems. Sustainability is of particular importance in the field of civil engineering, where structures are designed that are long lasting and shall cause significant impacts over a long period of time, such as bridges or dams. Consequently, when addressing a structural design, civil engineers shall account for the three dimensions of sustainability, which usually show conflicting perspectives. Multi-criteria methods allow the inclusion of non-monetary aspects into the design process of infrastructure. In the postgraduate course 'Predictive and optimisation models for concrete structures', offered at the Masters in Concrete Engineering of the Universitat Politècnica de València, civil engineering students are taught how to apply such tools within the framework of sustainable design of concrete structures. The present paper conducts a state-of-the-art review of the main multi-criteria decision making methodologies taught in the course in the context of sustainability. Articles are searched in recognized databases, such as SCOPUS and Web of Science. The most significant methods, such as Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), Elimination and Choice Expressing Reality (ELECTRE), Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) or Complex Proportional Assessment (COPRAS) are systematically discussed, identifying the actual trends concerning the use of such methodologies in the field of civil engineering. The review provides a deep insight in the multi criteria techniques that are most frequently used when assessing sustainability of infrastructure designs.
