☆ As EV sales surge and cars get heavier, parking garages will have to change
  + stars: | 2023-10-03 | by ( Anmar Frangoul | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +6 min
Parking garages (known as multistory car parks in the U.K.) are one area where the proliferation of EVs and bigger vehicles is expected to have a major impact. In a statement, it said the reason behind the weight increase was "due to electric and hybrid batteries and the size of cars increasing." The cumulative load of these vehicles in parking garages could present some challenges in certain circumstances. "Because what we want is the public to maintain confidence in our car parks and structural engineers." The statement also said the "rise of e-mobility … helps us mitigate climate change and brings new questions, including weight and the impact on car parks."

☆ Britain has a new big problem: crumbling concrete in schools, hospitals, airports, and theaters
  + stars: | 2023-09-09 | by ( Ryan Hogg | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +8 min
The "crumbly concrete" was used in hundreds of schools and some have been shut over fears of collapses. The UK government said more than 100 schools faced closure because they contained reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC), a material typically used in roof planks and wall panels. AdvertisementAdvertisementOther structures such as hospitals, theaters, universities and some apartment buildings are also being checked for the concrete. Why was the concrete used? According to the think-tank the Institute for Government, those cuts are linked with schools' RAAC closures.
