This talk explores the integration of 3D scanning and 3D printing technologies in the restoration, preservation, and engineering application of traditional Minnan-style buildings. It highlights how digital heritage documentation and advanced manufacturing techniques can improve restoration accuracy, structural assessment, and the sustainable conservation of historic architecture.

This talk examines the role of post-earthquake reconnaissance in understanding structural failures and the mechanisms behind earthquake-induced damage. It discusses how systematic field observations, engineering judgement, and scientific analysis work together to inform resilient design, forensic investigations, and future disaster risk reduction.

This talk presents the Meru Tunnel PLUS case study, highlighting the engineering challenges encountered during tunnel operation and the approaches adopted for structural assessment, investigation, and remedial measures. It discusses key lessons learned and best practices for ensuring the long-term safety, durability, and serviceability of highway tunnel infrastructure.

This talk presents the principles and methodologies for assessing the structural integrity, safety, and serviceability of Light Rail Transit (LRT) infrastructure throughout its operational life. It covers inspection techniques, condition evaluation, structural health monitoring, and engineering approaches to support maintenance, rehabilitation, and long-term asset management.

This talk examines the causes, failure mechanisms, and consequences of pipeline explosions through forensic engineering investigations and real-world case studies. It highlights lessons learned, risk mitigation strategies, and best practices for improving pipeline safety and integrity.

This session provides a practical overview of carbon fibre-reinforced polymer (CFRP) for structural strengthening, covering its common applications, fundamental design principles, and typical failure scenarios. Participants will gain insight into appropriate CFRP strengthening strategies for existing structures, key design considerations, and how structural assessment and design software can support effective strengthening solutions.
