Specifying concrete to EN 206-1

This paper reports on the philosophy of and background to fabric formwork before techniques for the design, optimisation and shape prediction of fabric formed concrete beams are presented.

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.

This article by Fragkoulis Kanavaris and Bruce Martin briefly describes three embodied carbon classification tools available to engineers in the UK and illustrates how they may be applied in the industry.
