There is still a significant research gap for defining Mix Design for Geopolymer Concrete

Did you know that Taipei 101 soars to an astounding 508 meters, and held the title of the world’s tallest building for 6 years? Constructed over the span of 5 years, this iconic tower used an impressive 41,000 metric tons of steel! What’s even more fascinating is the 660-ton steel pendulum (also known as the tuned mass damper) suspended between the 87th and 92nd floors, designed to stabilize the building against Taiwan’s strong winds and earthquakes. The steel core columns are built for strength and flexibility. The above features both give the tower the resilience to withstand earthquakes up to a 9.0 magnitude and typhoon winds surpassing 200km/hr! Despite the structures massive size, Taipei 101 is highly energy-efficient, holding a LEED Platinum certification.

The sheer scale of global steel production is astonishing. Every day, enough steel is produced to construct 548 Eiffel Towers! This industrial marvel, coupled with advancements in steel technology, has revolutionized construction and engineering. Modern steel is not only stronger and more durable but also significantly lighter, reducing the amount of material required. If the Eiffel Tower were to be rebuilt today, it would need only a third of the steel used originally. #steel #metal #engineering #manufacturing #BIPL #BaljitIronPrivateLimited

📰 Modern Applications and Construction Details for Aluminium Bridges ✍ Benoit Cusson Canada’s #bridge industry is witnessing a momentum for the use of aluminium in pedestrian and vehicular bridges. This paper describes the results of six years of developing tangible innovative #aluminium details and structural arrangements. Various projects of different scales, which are presented, include two architectural pony truss pedestrian bridges, the first GMAW welded aluminium deck on steel girders vehicular bridge in Canada and a signature #pedestrian bridge where an 80 m long through truss connects to a curved girder structure. The development of a simple aluminium girder pedestrian bridge concept also inspired an innovative composite structural system involving a friction stir welding (#FSW)-welded aluminium deck connected to longitudinal girders. These various projects generated code-update propositions for the aluminium section of the CSA S6 standard. Featured topics in this paper relate to bolted connections for decks, barriers and truss chords, welded straight and curved girders, expansion joints and designs for fatigue and fabrication. The context is ideal to reflect the roadmap towards 100% aluminium vehicular bridges. Read the paper at https://lnkd.in/gCQq_HTB. #mdpiproceedings #INALCO
