The assessment of embodied energy in typical reinforced concrete building structures in Ireland
(2010)This paper demonstrates that by understanding how energy is consumed in the manufacturing of reinforced concrete, designers can significantly reduce the overall embodied energy of structures. Embodied energy of products ... -
Evaluating the structural capacity of concrete elements through in-situ instrumentation
(2013)The difficulty in predicting the long term load capacity of concrete elements is well documented. Time dependent effects such as creep and shrinkage coupled with varying loading events, particularly during construction, ...
