A structural performance-based environmental impact assessment framework for natural hazard loads

Global warming and ozone depletion potentials caused by emissions from HFC and CFC banks due to structural damage

“…As a result, when [63] estimated the ODP of several buildings based on their materials alone, the values ranged from 2E−3 up to 1E−2 g 𝐶𝐹𝐶-11 𝑒𝑞 /𝑚 2 for residential ones. On the other hand, [34] presented an environmental impact assessment of a 7-storey building, made of reinforced concrete (RC) or crosslaminated timber (CLT), in case of structural collapse induced by NHs, finding an equivalent ODP range, retrieved after some calculations, from 0.15 (RC) to 0.2 (CLT) g 𝐶𝐹𝐶-11 𝑒𝑞 /𝑚 2 . To provide an additional reference, [33] calculated that the overall ODP impact of a seismic retrofit for a RC building was in the range of 10 −4 g 𝐶𝐹𝐶-11 𝑒𝑞 /𝑚 2 .…”
