Introduction: What should UK Structural Engineers know in relation to LCA Carbon Assessments of Buildings?
Posted on in LCA
Within the upcoming blog posts, we will explore the growing demand within the UK market specifically for LCAs, where that demand if coming from, and what opportunities it may present for your business to contribute to helping mitigate the Climate Emergency. We will touch on - A brief Intro on LCAs for Structural Engineers - The financial incentives of being able to provide LCAs with your designs - UK based Certifications that make LCA's mandatory as part of their assessments - UK Government Regulations and policies surrounding LCAs (and the reduction of embodied carbon in construction) - Local authorities' planning policies and their requirements for different developments
How do the structural model's simplifications affect your analysis results?
Posted on in General
The process of producing a model requires that the structure is idealised into a suitable form for modelling. This often requires at least some degree of simplification. Such a process of simplification applies not just to the model geometry itself, but also to the loading and restraint conditions. In some circumstances, such simplification can be done in a variety of ways with no significant impact on the overall analysis, but there are cases where how the loads or restraints are modelled can have a significant effect on the results.
