Structural engineering innovation for a zero-carbon world: an R&D agenda to match the carbon budget

This technical lecture explored innovative permanent design solutions that can be adopted to improve buildability and reduce carbon intensive temporary works within facade retention schemes.

This technical lecture describes the prototyping, testing and design approach that enabled the realisation of the Arc, the gymnasium for the Green School in Bali, whose project team was awarded for advancing the structural application of low-carbon materials at the 2022 Structural Awards.

The built environment contributes significantly to the climate crisis. Susan Mantle, Technical Director at Heyne Tillett Steel, discusses five ways Structural Engineers can reduce carbon emissions - embodied carbon in particular - right from the very start of their projects.
