The embodied carbon emissions of buildings are increasingly important to mitigate. Most of
these emissions come from structural systems. While many strategies have been identified …

The present climate emergency demands the construction industry to minimise the carbon
footprint of concrete buildings. In this paper, the potential different optimisation strategies to …

This paper explores the potential of thin concrete shells as low-carbon alternatives to floor
slabs and beams, which typically make up the majority of structural material in multi-storey …

Textile-reinforced mortar (TRM) is used to strengthen reinforced concrete (RC) structures
using a textile and inorganic matrix. TRM is a part of textile-based composites; the basic …

The construction industry is responsible for nearly half of the UK's carbon dioxide emissions
and the use of an extremely large volume of concrete–the world's most widely used man …

The world's population is projected to grow rapidly in urban areas, with a projected 2.5
billion more urban dwellers by 2050 (UN-DESA, 2019). This urban growth will notably …

In the construction of multistory buildings, the reinforced concrete flat slab is a preferred floor
system in part due to ease of formwork construction, which does not require skilled labor …

El sistema proposat en la següent recerca consisteix en una estructura de forjat de formigó
optimitzat a través de nervadures amb una geometria de volta, treballant a compressió …

Steel and concrete are consumed in vast quantities as the global population continues to
grow, develop and urbanise. Both these materials are carbon-intensive to produce, and …

Background The manufacture of building materials currently contributes 11% of the world's
carbon emissions [1]. This is largely due to the carbon-intensive production of cement, the …
