The climate change potential of steel support structures for offshore wind turbines: An assessment of monopile and jacket support structure steel mass and greenhouse gas emission development for offshore wind turbines in the North Sea

Offshore wind electricity generation will play a key role in the transition to a sustainable energy sector. In 2020, the European Commission presented their Offshore Renewable Energy Strategy which includes 300 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2050 (European Commission, 2020). This research focusses on the steel mass development of OWT structural...

Sustainable Sport Venue Design: A design proposal for a demountable temporary Olympic arena, optimized for a post-event use in steel construction.

A design strategy for an temporary Olympic arena optimized for a post-event use in steel construction has been researched. Three strategies have been considered, namely relocation, adaptation en up-cycling. A research by design was conducted with a parametric model, where two optimized designs have been compared. Applying several reuse...
