The decline in structural behaviour knowledge among engineers poses a serious challenge to modern design practices. This article examines this problem. It also offers practical strategies to restore the fundamental intuitive understanding of structures.

Last week, I presented my work on #nanocellulose films at the Future of Construction 2024 Symposium in Mendrisio. I was eager to see how my work, which focuses on optical and nanostructured materials, would be received by the architectural and building engineering community. For that presentation, I picked one specific finding—the near-infrared reflectance that has the potential to be used for building cooling. Most of the questions I got were, "Why did you go from architecture to materials science?" My answer is simple: architects and structural engineers need to design their own materials if they want new building functionalities and performance. And for that, we need to go back to material fundamentals.

What is the Essence of Structural Engineering for Society? IABSE Congress Ghent 2025 Abstract Submission Deadline: 15 November 2025 https://lnkd.in/dHqseTWf IABSE deals with all aspects of structural engineering – all types of structures, all construction materials, and all phases in the life of structures, from the early planning and design stages to operation, maintenance and final decommissioning, demolition or re-purposing. We consider technical, economic, environmental, aesthetic, and social aspects in everything we do. The theme of the IABSE Congress in Ghent is 'The Essence of Structural Engineering for Society', and it asks the following question: What is the essence of structural engineering? Would you like to share your ideas, projects, papers, and plans? Submit your abstract for IABSE's Ghent Congress before the deadline on 15 November 2024: https://lnkd.in/dTmciEFY In this short video, Bert Hesselink, Organising Committee Vice-Chair of the Ghent Congress, explains why you should join the Congress.

🌟 Proud to announce the publication of our research paper in the journal Architecture, Structures and Construction! 🌟 📄 Paper Title: "Two-stage method based on the You Only Look Once framework and image segmentation for crack detection in concrete structures" 📔 Journal: Architecture, Structures and Construction 🔗 DOI: https://lnkd.in/gxQut4Dp 📑 Citation: Mishra, M., Jain, V., Singh, S.K., and Maity, D., 2023. Two-stage method based on the You Only Look Once framework and image segmentation for crack detection in concrete structures. Architecture, Structures and Construction, 3(4), pp. 429-446. In this paper, we proposed a two-stage method leveraging the YOLO (You Only Look Once) framework alongside image segmentation to accurately detect and quantify cracks in concrete structures. This approach aims to improve the precision and efficiency of structural surface damage detection, contributing to the advancement of automated monitoring in civil engineering. Grateful to my Ph.D. supervisor, Prof. D. Maity, our lead author, Dr. Mayank Mishra (Ph.D.), and co-authors for their dedication and collaboration on this project. Looking forward to further contributions in the field of structural health monitoring! #Research #StructuralEngineering #CrackDetection #ConcreteStructures #YOLO #Publication #Engineering

God gave me a chance to have a certificate in Structure, just one thing I need is to implement knowledge in practice

Recent development and engineering practices of space grid structures in China By Yaozhi Luo and Yu Xue *This special issue of the IJSS will be open access for 30 days* Space grid structures are widely used in the field of structural engineering due to their good mechanical properties and simple construction procedures. This paper reviews the development of space grid structures and mainly introduces the development of space grid structures in China in recent years.
