Description
The construction sector is responsible for 50% of all material flows and 40% of the waste production worldwide. Concrete is still unmistakably the most used manmade material in the world, yet it comes with a huge burden on the environment. This presentation will demonstrate ways to make the building industry more sustainable, by developing innovative constructions that use materials in an efficient way. At present, the dimensions of concrete structures are still too often restricted by the steel reinforcement that is prone to corrosion and may lead to durability issues. Replacing steel by fibre textile reinforcement creates new perspectives for slender concrete structures. This presentation explores how concrete structures can be reshaped to save materials, speed up the construction or renovation process, and optimize space use.| Periode | 28 mei 2024 |
