Within the last 30 years, the consumption per person has risen dramatically. This accounts for the earth’s natural resources. The main concern is the amount of CO2 that is released into the air. Some solutions for today include being aware of the impact on the environment that structural design causes. The typical engineer needs to be knowledgeable about the environmental issues.
There can be some things done to reduce this damage such as; improving life cycle performance, specify salvage, recycled materials, use alternative materials, and more. If we don’t help our engineers now, we could reap the consequences. By maintaining smart approaches when it comes to maintenance of building and our world in general, it will save us in the long run. By practicing good methods, researching, and educating each other to help the world become a better place, we could come to the best possible solution.
