Our recent work on steel-timber shear connections was published recently in JOBE. Available in #openaccess at https://t.co/oxgci0y3cg

[Investigación ESPOL @DEC_INV_ESPOL]

Destacamos artículo de primer decil que investiga el rendimiento de fatiga del hormigón con caucho reciclado. El estudio propone modelos probabilísticos para predecir la vida útil y la probabilidad de falla bajo cargas de flexión.

Another two relatively recent papers are available in JOBE on the impact properties of rubberised one-part alkali-activated concrete
(https://t.co/tTViUsYoH5) and in J Mat Civ Eng on the creep response of the same materials (https://t.co/qGoZ5q06Qt)

[Dan Bompa @danbompa]

A couple of detailed #openaccess papers on the compressive behaviour of steel tube and FRP-confined alkali-activated concrete with/out rubber particles were published recently in JCSR (https://t.co/ywcofgP7v1)
& CBM (https://t.co/EQ220Km5Fa) @MZeadani

[Dan Bompa @danbompa]

Extensive tests on both steel tube & FRP confined stub columns of various aspect ratios, section types, material properties, and confinement properties, plus extensive nonlinear numerical validation & parametric studies, all leading to constitutive models or design expressions

Two excellent days in Austria at the Materials Center Leoben with the #RFCS TGA4 'Steel applications and solutions for existing and new markets'. We've seen some impactful ongoing EU steel research and outstanding facilities at MCL #FutureLowEmissionIndustries #RFCS #REA_Research

[Dan Bompa @danbompa]

I'll be presenting some of the work covering the design of hybrid steel-concrete connections, part of a recently published textbook on the 'Design of Hybrid Structures' which is available in most libraries https://t.co/Nw5YTTLfpF

At Eurosteel 2023 for the next few days, where we have 3 papers on steel hybrid/composite systems, all incorporating some points of sustainability:
*timber - cold formed steel floors
*steel-timber hybrid frames
*steel tubes infilled with rubberised alkali-activated concrete

[Dan Bompa @danbompa]

> Cambridge to #SECED2023 conf where we are presenting the following work:
*Drift capacity of textile-reinforced mortar masonry walls
*Rate-dependent cyclic and impact properties of rubberised alkali-activated concrete
*Ultimate response characteristics of steel RBS connections

[Dan Bompa @danbompa]

Really enjoyed the #IASS2023 with some inspiring talks and engaging masterclasses. Great presence from @UniOfSurrey showcasing experimental and educational research. Our papers on timber columns and bamboo tubes are here: https://t.co/xShLlAd5sX & https://t.co/EEpo5mjRVg

Two incredible sessions @Swinburne, where we were introduced to the captivating world of digital design&fabrication. @UniOfSurrey students learned basic principles for advanced manufacturing, digital fabrication & construction. Thanks, Daniel Prohasky & team #SurreySCEEontour

[Dan Bompa @danbompa]

An extremely valuable learning experience with @UniOfSurrey SCEE students at the Sustainable Buildings Research Centre (SBRC) - impressive multi-disciplinary research, from energy storage to sustainable and resilient housing. Thanks Prof Tim McCarthy for hosting #SurreySCEEontour

[Dan Bompa @danbompa]

Earlier this week we had the opportunity to learn about 3D printing of plastic waste, engineered bamboo & cold-formed steel research, & had a great campus tour @UOW. Thanks to Dr Ahmed & A/Prof Sheikh for hosting us, and Intl team for the tour.

A great day at the @UNSWWRL with @UniOfSurrey SCEE students! We saw a large dam & a coastal physical model in one of the wave flumes, and learnt about CoastSnap, and fish passage across man-made hydraulic structures. Thanks to Dr Flocard & colleagues for this.

An excellent day @UNSW with @UniOfSurrey SCEE students where we visited the Heavy Structures, Infrastructure Materials, and Geotechnical Eng labs. Truly inspiring visit!
Thanks to Prof Valipour, Dr Kim and Dr Khoshghalb #SurreySCEEontour
