DOI: 10.1016/j.istruc.2020.06.015
Abstract: Abstract Building carbon intensity is related to material choice, but more importantly, material volume. The building structural frame itself is responsible for 20–30% of whole-life carbon over 50 years. This figure will double once we build… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.istruc.2021.04.033
Abstract: Abstract Material efficiency is not currently a common driver of building design. Indeed, in previous studies, we estimated that 12% of the mass of steel used in structural frames would be saved by more accurate… read more here.
