The construction industry continues to explore way to redevelop existing structures and reduce the use of new materials, demonstrating its commitment to reducing its environmental impact. By moving towards implementing the circular economy, reuse is soon to become the default construction type for concrete building projects.
Structural engineers will increasingly be expected to understand how to justify, repair, reuse and repurpose existing concrete buildings.
This webinar explored some of the common concrete building construction types and materials that were commonly used between 1950 – 1985 and outlined the difficulties engineers might encounter during a reuse project.
