Low-tech methods for the reuse of reinforced concrete structural elements

Nicole Widmer, Corentin Jean Dominique Fivet, Maléna Bastien Masse, Julie Rachel Devènes

Most of existing buildings are made of concrete, new buildings are being built with it and others are demolished when still in good structural condition. This drives increased demands for raw materials, greenhouse gas emissions, and an accumulation of demo ...
