Low carbon hybrid timber-steel structures in fire

University of Sheffield Department of Civil and Structural Engineering

The built environment is one of the largest producers of carbon emissions, responsible for around 38% of global emissions. Hybrid timber-steel structures utilise a traditional steel frame but use Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) for floor slabs which have the potential to reduce embodied carbon in the built environment.
