Green Buildings and Structural Engineering

open access: yesIABSE Reports, 2009
<p>Structural engineers design green buildings using the LEED™ Green Building Rating System™, a point-based system for certifying the level of a building’s sustainability. Structural materials play a large part in increasing a building’s sustainability. Using concrete, for example, can help in brownfield redevelopment, reduce urban heat islands,

Evaluation of structural systems in slender high-rise buildings [PDF]

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Structural Engineering, 2018
© 2018, © 2018 Engineers Australia. With the rapid population growth and scarcity of developable space, especially in large cities, there is a need for increased density in both commercial and residential housing, and hence a strong demand to maximise ...

Regenerative design for building engineering: the role of the structural engineer

The Structural Engineer, 2023
The principles of regenerative design take inspiration from the ways that living systems have evolved over time to thrive on our planet, creating net-positive outcomes for people and nature. This article will attempt to show how we, as structural engineers, can put some of these regenerative principles into practice today, by highlighting examples that

Aluminium Building and Civil Engineering Structures

1999
The design of aluminium structures in building and civil engineering applications is different from designing in traditional materials. This difference is based on the physical and mechanical properties of the material and the freedom of cross-sectional shape provided by the extrusion manufacturing process.

Aluminium Structures in Building and Civil Engineering Applications

Structural Engineering International, 2010
Structural applications of aluminium are considered in this paper. Although the discussion is mainly devoted to Europe, the paper also refers, where possible, to developments in other parts of the world. The problems faced by a designer in creating an optimum design are described, followed by a brief review of the research carried out in the past four ...

The structural engineering of the Leadenhall Building, London

The Structural Engineer, 2018
The engineering design was developed by Arup in collaboration with architect Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners (RSHP). The architecture is guided by the principles of openness, flexibility and legibility, which were the hallmark of early Rogers and Arup projects, most notably the Pompidou Centre in Paris and the Lloyd's building in London.
