A companion paper described the partial-interaction localised properties that require the development of pseudo properties. If the quantification through experimental testing of these pseudo properties could be removed by the...
Decarbonisation of the energy industry and enforcement of strict targets for operational energy consumption means that non-operational greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions, also known as embodied carbon (EC), will soon represent...
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 buildings. A simple and practical...
There is no reason why concrete elements should be prismatic. Concrete is mouldable and can be cast in efficient forms which follow the stresses varying along the length of a concrete element. One option to achieve this is to...

The construction industry has received attention due to its significant contribution to global carbon emissions. In this paper, conventional design and construction practices of reinforced concrete beams are scrutinised to...

Multi-objective optimisation of concrete floors for economic and environmental performance is critical in the present context since the building construction sector is responsible for a rising share of the global economy and...
