Technical Guidance Note (Level 1, No. 36): Introduction to calculating embodied carbon

Calcined clay has emerged as one of the most promising solutions to the challenge of finding a replacement to ground granulated blast-furnace slag and pulverised fuel ash or fly ash. This article examines its technical properties, environmental benefits, and practical implementation for structural engineers within current standards and practices.

The second article in this series takes a wider look at different foundation systems beneath steel moment frames, and the importance of understanding existing structural arrangements and structural performance of a building, as well as the local geology and environment.

Understand how dead loads, defined as Permanent Actions within Eurocode 1, can be favourable and unfavourable in a construction.
