Sustainable structural engineering integrates durability, safety, and environmental performance in the design, assessment, and rehabilitation of civil and mechanical infrastructure. Methods include probabilistic lifetime design, seismic and shake-table testing, and performance evaluation of materials such as precast concrete, cold-formed steel, ultra-high performance concrete, and 3D-printed components. Life cycle assessment and AI-driven optimization support decisions on material reuse, modular construction, and clean-energy systems, aiming to reduce global warming potential while maintaining structural reliability and resilience under extreme loads and degradation.
