Background: The building sector is one of the largest contributors of greenhouse gas emissions across the globe. The European Union pledges to become climate neutral by 2050. To reach this goal, member states will need to account for embodied carbon... Read More about Embodied carbon reporting by German real estate institutional investors.

Development of a Lytag-silica fume based lightweight concrete and corresponding design equation for pure bending (2023)
Journal Article
Abbey, S. J., Ghassan, N., Booth, C. A., & Nukah, P. D. (in press). Development of a Lytag-silica fume based lightweight concrete and corresponding design equation for pure bending. Case Studies in Construction Materials,

This study presents a novel Lytag-silica fume concrete (LSFC) for structural and other construction applications. The evaluation of compressive strength development and stress strain relationships of the LSFC light weight was carried out to determine...
