- Additional information
- This paper presents a new design approach which offers significant environmental benefit via reduction of both cement and steel usage without sacrificing the safety, durability, and sustainability of the construction. In the conservative construction industry this will, in the long term, prove transformative in terms of environmentally sustainable and durable reinforced concrete structures.
