A weight off your mind: floor loadings and the climate emergency

Tim Chapman and Ian Firth highlight the carbon differences between civil structures and buildings projects, and propose that engineers work with their clients to target low-carbon outcomes, rather than just low-carbon structures.

Jenny Pattison discusses the typical considerations that structural engineers face when seeking to add floors to an existing building, and the sustainability outcomes of potential solutions.

Five leading structural engineers explain why we need to take our professional responsibility seriously and commit to doing things better, starting today.
