Abstrakt: | This project proposes a novel thin-shell concrete flooring system for multi-storey buildings, focusing on structural optimisation as well as construction and practical performance. Savings of over 60% in both self-weight and embodied energy over an equivalent flat concrete slab are demonstrated. |
