The Smart Way to Uncover Hidden Strength in Reinforced Concrete Slabs

WEBINAR | 1st Feb 2023 | 12:30 - 13:00 GMT

It is widely accepted that reducing the volume of materials used in construction is the structural engineer’s best response to the climate emergency. Concrete and steel are responsible for the vast majority of the embodied carbon and greenhouse emissions produced in the industry and the impetus towards "reuse and refurbish" is ever-growing.

Yield-line analysis provides engineers with a robust method to identify the hidden strength that is often present in reinforced concrete slabs - being an invaluable tool to support the economic and environmental case for adaptive reuse of a structure, rather than demolition and rebuild.

LimitState:SLAB fully automates the yield-line analysis method to help engineers make quick, insightful decisions regarding the true strength of the slabs in buildings and bridges.

Join Matthew Gilbert and Tom Prichard as they demonstrate how LimitState:SLAB can help you establish more efficient, cost-effective and sustainable solutions.

Key points include:
- The benefits of using yield-line analysis when planning reuse and refurbish schemes
- How LimitState:SLAB automates yield-line analysis
- Analysing RC slabs in buildings and bridges using LimitState:SLAB
