“…As can be seen in Figure 2, the established relative price relationships are validated by values reported by Stroetmann [15] and the other collected values. Referring to a presentation by Stroetmann [29], it appears that the base price at the publication period (October 2010) was equal to 700€/t; it explains why the "Medium base price" curve corresponding to a base price of 750€/t is closer to the Stroetmann's relative prices. In addition, according to [28], Stroetmann's values are for TM steels for cold forming; so, the product standard is the same as the one considered herein.…”

Environmental impact awareness in civil engineering is nowadays an important concern. The last message from the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) was clear: significant actions are mandatory and urgent to achieve the objective to limit global warming to 1.5°C. The building sector is one of the most polluting industrial sectors for which economically viable solutions must be found to cut the emissions. The development of new production technologies can contribute to this aim by creating innovative and more sustainable materials. Amongst the new materials that appear on the steel market, high strength steels are a nice example as they offer higher strength to weight ratio of structural steel elements, resulting in material savings, lighter foundations, easier transportation, and erection. These multiple advantages explain why the use of high strength steels could lead to both significant carbon emission and cost savings. However, the production of such steels uses more alloying elements and sometimes they require more production energy than for regular grades. The aim of this paper is to estimate the relative prices and relative carbon emissions of high strength steels to evaluate whether they constitute sustainable materials. This paper demonstrates that, in many cases, the increase of relative prices and carbon emissions as function of yield strength can be negligible by contrast to the weight savings induced by using high strength steels.
