Abstract:
In this paper, the embodied carbon for a steel and concrete warehouse is studied. To achieve this, two structures are first designed optimally for gravity and lateral loads. Thereafter, the cost-benefit analysis and Carbon print analysis is carried out on the structures. In addition, the overall time taken for construction of the structures is taken into consideration. The comparison will be used to determine the most economical, environmentally friendly and most time efficient building material.
