Abstract

This paper presents a critical review of the state-of-the-art on the context of sustainable renovation of buildings and infrastructures. After a short presentation of the method and the context of the study a chronological description is used to evocate the principal fields of research and engineering practices for design of sustainable and durable materials and structures, and for evaluation of the damage state materials and structures. The new trends on the durability of materials and structures developed or reinforced in a context of increasing societal requirements in terms of sustainability are treated along with traditional mechanistic approaches such as mechanics of failure, mechanics of damage, fatigue, environmental impact on the durability including thermal, hydric and chemical interactions. In particular, some technics used for the diagnostic of historical stone buildings are cited as an example of research/engineering practice on the durability of structures and materials. The new trends on sustainable materials design and their industrial use, including the green materials, bio-resourced materials for construction and insulation of buildings, recycled materials from buildings and infrastructures are evocated in conclusion.
