AIT Solutions was the Knowledge Partner for Building Tall and Resilient – 2023, Hyderabad, India. The International Seminar was hosted by Association of Consulting Civil Engineers (India)-Hyderabad Center.

As part of the knowledge sharing, AIT Solutions on 19th May 2023 organized for structural engineering professionals and students a one day Workshop on Structural Performance-based Design, Wind Tunnel Testing, and Structural Health Monitoring, and Hands-on training for nonlinear modeling using ETABS.

During the seminar, Dr. Naveed Anwar, Vice President for Knowledge Transfer at AIT, shared his insights on the latest Trends and Advancements in Structural Design of Bridges, while Mr. Thaung Htut Aung, Director of AIT Solutions, presented on the latest Trends and Advancements in Structural Design of Tall Buildings.

The seminar provided a platform for professionals to network and exchange ideas, paving the way for future collaborations and partnerships in the field of construction.

AIT Solutions (AITS) conducted the Performance-based Seismic Design of The Proscenium at Rockwell, and worked closely with SY^2+Associates, Philippines (Structural Engineer of Record), and Rockwell Land Corporation, Philippines (Developer) to carry out highly detailed earthquake simulations to check and improve the structural performance as well as cost-effectiveness.

The Proscenium at Rockwell is one of over 150 tall buildings for which AITS in-house team has conducted performance-based seismic design.

A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed on 9th November 2022 between the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) and the CIC Technology and Consultancy JSC (CIC) to enable cooperation for conducting knowledge transfer and technical support activities in the fields of structural engineering and software development.

The activities under the scope of the MoU includes knowledge transfer seminars on topics involving structural engineering (structural performance-based design, wind tunnel testing, and structural health monitoring) and allied fields such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), software applications in structural engineering, and training on CSI software and relevant structural engineering topics for engineers in Vietnam.

Prof. Kazuo Yamamoto, AIT President, highlighted AIT’s role as a pioneer institution to help meet the region’s growing needs for advanced learning in engineering, science, technology, management, research, and capacity building. Prof. Yamamoto said, “AIT Solution’s core strength is structural engineering and software development, which can complement CIC’s strength in the application of information technology throughout the construction industry. This collaboration will initiate various joint activities with CIC in conducting knowledge transfer seminars on Building Information Modeling, Structural Engineering, and Software Applications in Structural Engineering. I am confident that this partnership will be mutually beneficial and successful.”

The structural engineers from AIT Solutions on 9th November 2022 facilitated the visit of Professor Trevor Hoey, Pro Vice-Chancellor International & Sustainability, Brunel University London, United Kingdom, and Professor Rakesh Kanda, Professor of Exposome Science, Vice Dean International, Brunel University London, United Kingdom, to Asian Institute of Technology and Thammasat University wind tunnel facility.

AIT Solutions published its 10^th Anniversary issue of its Technology magazine in June 2020. This issue focused on the knowledge and expertise of Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) and its partners that is being applied by the industry and making positive impact to the society. In this issue, authors have contributed on:

Digital Transformation in Healthcare: That focuses on the two pillars of digital transformation in healthcare i.e. Internet of Things (IoT), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) and how it can have a positive impact on healthcare technologies such as: telemedicine, AI-enabled medical devices, and electronic health records.

Structural Health Monitoring and Post-earthquake Response Assessment of Tall Buildings: Providing a comprehensive method for “Post-earthquake Response Assessment” by efficiently using the recorded acceleration data. This assessment provides the developers, residents, building managers, structural engineers, and government authorities with the structural assessment results and an overall picture of the seismic risk posed by the recent earthquake event.

Open Innovation Practices in Thai Software SMEs – External Technology Acquisition and Exploitation to Improve Software Process Innovation: Considers the importance of Software Process Innovation Performance (SPIP) and its improvement that can be achieved by increasing firms’ ability to access external technological knowledge, ideas, and information, and provides a new insight to Software SMEs managers on how to use open innovation to improve their SPIP.
