This will not only lead to less steel and concrete being used, but we will also show how the alternative materials can reduce the carbon footprint as well as deliver a number of other environmental and economic benefits. These benefits will be quantified. We are directly addressing some other key barriers of adoption for the alternative materials in this project.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
