Experimental and Numerical Investigation of CFRP-Strengthened In-Plane Curved Steel Beams with Circular Hollow Cross-Section Subjected to Transverse Load

7 July, 2026

In-plane curved steel beams with circular hollow sections (CHSs) are widely gaining appeal in bridges. Strengthening such elements for increased demand or decreased strength due to environmental effects or fatigue, without affecting the usage of structure, is a timely need. Carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) materials have been a promising solution...Read More

Electrical Demand Uplift and Coil Performance Constraints in Air-Source Heat Pump Retrofits for Commercial Office Buildings

26 June, 2026

Keywords: air-source heat pump; building electrification; retrofit feasibility; electrical demand uplift; peak demand; hydronic systems; AHU heating coils; commercial office buildings; low-temperature heating Decarbonising existing commercial buildings requires replacing combustion-based heating systems with electrically driven alternatives such as air-source heat pumps (ASHPs). Although the energy and emissions benefits of heat...Read More

Pathways to Net Zero and Climate Resilience in Existing Australian Office Buildings: A Systematic Review

20 February, 2026

Existing office buildings in Australia contribute to 24% of the nation’s electricity consumption and 10% of greenhouse gas emissions, with energy use projected to rise by 84%. Meeting the 2050 sustainability target and United Nations (UN) 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) requires improving sustainability within existing office buildings. This systematic...Read More

Advancing Smart Construction Through BIM-Enabled Automation in Reinforced Concrete Slab Design

23 January, 2025

Building information modeling (BIM) has proven to be a valuable technology in the fields of architecture, construction management, and maintenance management. However, its full implementation in structural engineering remains unfulfilled due to the persistent use of outdated design methods. Insufficient automation in the design process could lead to structural defects,...Read More

Enhancing Open BIM Interoperability: Automated Generation of a Structural Model from an Architectural Model

10 August, 2024

Building information modelling (BIM) is an appreciated technology in the field of architecture and construction management. Collaboration of information in BIM has not been fully utilized in the structural engineering stream as many engineers keep on working with previous prevailing design approaches. Failure to adequately facilitate automation in design could...Read More
