It is a summary from the chapters of Structures & carbon - IRD.
It contains photos for the main cases + it includes all the theory from the lesson (briefly summarized in a kind of table). The table is structured with a title and next to it all the information we need to know about that specific ch...
(H10 – CARBON & MATERIALS)
COP21 = international climate conference Paris (21e) – organized by VN as
part of UNFCC: framework convention on climate change
Limit global rise to below 2°C aspirational goal: 1.5°C
COP28 = 28e conference in Dubai
Triple global renewable energy cap by 2030
Double E efficiency by 2030
Phasing out unabated fossil fuels
CARBON Warm our houses greenhouse gasses = atmospheric gasses: C02,
CH4, H20
- Absorb & re radiate heat
- Warms the lower atmosphere & earth’s surface
- 1t of carbon = 3.67t of CO2
Net zero carbon = not enough
H11 – STRUCTURAL ADAPTABILITY
CASE STUDY C1 Provinciehuis Antwerpen, XDGA, Bollinger + Grohman: fixed
Beams & slabs
- Driven by bending moment
- Driven by deflection = I = bh stiffness: H+, I-
Sustainable structures Traditional approach: geometric- statical model
Timber construction Integrated design: geometric + statical model
CASES Use computer to improve: evolution + computation

Rethink, reflect, change Responsibility: interaction of technical systems: ecology + economy
+ society they take into account: design criteria + future
generations
REALITY: cost & time pressure need easy & fast solutions
Carbon footprint = sum of greenhouse gas emissions & removals
in a product system, expressed as C02 equivalents & based on a life
cycle assessment using the single impact category of climate
change
- CO2 emissions private life: ca. 11 t CO2 per person per
year
- Project size: Project size ca. 20.000 m2 GFA / year - ca. 250
kg/m2 CO2 equivalent in average in the structure - ca. 5
engineers involved
= ca. 1000 t CO2 per engineer per year
Private life – sustainable lifestyle – 2ton
