Lower-carbon concrete technologies

This article examines three prototype structures built by researchers at Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne reusing concrete elements saw-cut from existing structures scheduled for demolition.

Garreth Joyce explores some of the key practical considerations that engineers need to take into account when reusing and repurposing concrete-framed structures, as well as some considerations for specific building types for change-of-use projects.

Alison Wallis and Mike Davies outline how a derelict 1970s concrete-framed building was repurposed in Stratford, east London.
