Stability
How steel members behave at the edge of buckling. We test full-scale columns, beams, and girders to sharpen the design rules that keep slender structures standing.
Seismic Design
Steel systems built to bend, not break. We develop frames, braces, and design methods that dissipate earthquake energy through controlled, predictable yielding.
Connections
Every structure is only as strong as its joints. We investigate bolted and welded connections to make them safer to design and simpler to fabricate.
Decision Support Systems
Turning data into better engineering judgment. We build computational tools that help designers and fabricators choose the right solution, faster.
Hybrid Simulation
Physical testing and computer modelling, running as one. We test critical components in the lab while simulating the rest of the structure in real time.
Decarbonization
Steel is endlessly recyclable — we're making it count. Our research targets the carbon footprint of steel construction across design, fabrication, and reuse.
