AB  - With increasing construction activity and concrete consumption globally, the economic,
environmental, and social impacts of human activities continue to increase rapidly. Therefore, it is
imperative to assess the choice and construction of each structure and structural component from a
sustainability-based perspective. In this study, such a multi-criteria decision-making approach using
the MIVES method is applied to the choice of grouped continuous flight auger (CFA) piles. Different
alternatives of CFA piles are studied: length (10 and 20 m), reinforcement (steel cage reinforcement
and structural fibers), and aggregates (natural crushed aggregates and recycled aggregate concrete
sourced from stationary and mobile recycling plants), based on experimentally verified mix designs.
All alternatives were analyzed considering economic, environmental, and social requirements, using
a decision-making tree with eight criteria and eleven indicators, with weights assigned by an expert
panel. The results of the analysis showed a clear advantage in terms of all three sustainability
requirements for CFA piles with steel fibers and recycled aggregate concrete, with all solutions with
steel cage reinforcement having significantly lower values of the sustainability index. Such results
demonstrate the need for implementing innovative solutions even in structural members such as
CFA piles that are often considered in insufficient detail.
