Design optimization of hybrid steel/timber structures for minimal environmental impact and financial cost: A case study KU Leuven
In the overall aim to build more sustainably, the energy performance of buildings has received a lot of attention in the past decade. In consequence, the embodied impact of buildings has become relatively more important. As the load-bearing structure is responsible for a large share of this embodied impact, it is important to design it in such a way that its environmental impact is as low as possible. Unfortunately, the best construction ...
