Independent Frame Comparison

Using lightweight concrete significantly reduces the overall volumes of concrete and reinforcement steel needed in the construction of tall buildings.

To answer this question, we commissioned an independent comparative modelling study of reinforced concrete framed towers of 15, 30 and 45 storeys.
