Abstract

Svakodnevni smo svjedoci klimatskih promjena koje će utjecati na sve aspekte našega života, a utjecaj će biti vidljiv i na građevinske strukture i infrastrukture. U budućnosti će doći do porasta učestalosti i intenziteta ekstremnih događaja. Ovaj rad se fokusira na odabrane učinke klimatskih promjena i njihov utjecaj na proračunska djelovanja, karakteristike materijala i uporabljivost građevina. Prikazani su neki stvarni primjeri tih učinaka, a predstavljene su i moguće strategije kako smanjiti njihove neizbježne negativne učinke na strukture i povećati trajnost i vijek trajanja građevina. Klimatske promjene uzrokovane su povećanjem temperature Zemlje do koje dolazi zbog viška stakleničkih plinova u atmosferi. Ugljični otisak mjera je ukupne emisije stakleničkih plinova koju izravno ili neizravno uzrokuje neka osoba, proizvod, tvrtka ili događaj. Ugljikov dioksid najvažniji je staklenički plin čije su prekomjerne emisije povezane s ljudskom aktivnošću. Građevinska industrija je odgovorna za velik udio emisije ugljika. U ovome radu objasnit ćemo što je ugljični otisak građevina, što čini razliku između mostova i zgrada u ovom pogledu, što inženjeri mogu poduzeti kako bi došlo do smanjenja emisije ugljika, koje su smjernice proračuna ugljičnog otiska te naposljetku napraviti pojednostavljeni proračun.

Abstract (english)

We are daily witnesses of climate changes that will affect all aspects of our lifes, and the impact will also be visible on building structures and infrastructures. In the future, the frequency and intensity of extreme events will increase. This paper focuses on the selected effects of climate change and their influence on structural actions, material properties and structural performance. Some real examples of these effects are presented, and possible strategies are presented to reduce their inevitable negative effects on structures and increase the durability and service life of buildings. Climate change is caused by an increase in the Earth's temperature, which occurs due to an excess of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. A carbon footprint is a measure of the total greenhouse gas emissions caused directly or indirectly by a person, product, company or event. Carbon dioxide is the most important greenhouse gas whose excessive emissions are associated with human activity. The construction industry is responsible for a large share of carbon emissions. In this paper, we will explain what the carbon footprint of buildings is, what makes the difference between bridges and buildings in this respect, what engineers can do to reduce carbon emissions, what are the guidelines for carbon footprint calculations, and finally make a simplified calculation.
