This article examines three prototype structures built by researchers at Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne reusing concrete elements saw-cut from existing structures scheduled for demolition.
Garreth Joyce explores some of the key practical considerations that engineers need to take into account when reusing and repurposing concrete-framed structures, as well as some considerations for specific building types for change-of-use projects.
The aim of this webpage is to serve as a high-level guide for engineers about current and emerging lower carbon concrete technologies available in the UK market.
