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.

• Vibration control equipment for high-rise buildings due to wind and earthquakes (Tuned Mass Dampers)

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.

Topic - DX (Digital Transformation) Development in Bridge Maintenance in Japan

Overview

In Japan, the number of over 50 years aged bridges are increasing year by year. For this reason, the importance of maintenance is increasing as regular inspections are required by law once every five years in Japan. In the future, the maintenance of bridges will be necessary to continue in various Asian countries.

However, in recent years, there have been major issues such as a shortage of bridge inspection engineers, its aging, and the transfer of experience and knowledge. Therefore, promotion of “DX (Digital
Transformation)” is indispensable to solve these issues in bridge maintenance by using digital technology.

Therefore, we, Eight-Japan Engineering Consultants Inc. (EJEC), a Japanese civil engineering consulting company, would like to introduce some of the most advanced DX technologies in bridge maintenance developed by our EJ Information Technology Center (EJIT Center).

Topic – Sustainable Infrastructure and Built Environment

Abstract

Sustainable development is increasingly emerging as an important factor and now plays a major role in various disciplines. Specifically, in the discipline of sustainable infrastructure and built environment, sustainable development holds the key in designing and implementing projects that are aimed at restricting the negative impacts (e.g. climate change). These negative impacts, such as climate change are now widely understood to hold adverse implications for the social and poverty outcomes. Integrating different components of development goals in an infrastructure development requires systems approach in multi scale, for multi-user, with multi-stage (i.e. at policy, plan, program, and project). Besides this, a trans-disciplinary and holistic approach is required to focus on both vertical (incl. among different scales) and horizontal (incl. among different sectors) integration. In this new era of development where infrastructure development is intricately linked to the local and global sustainability as well as other development goals, this talk aims to enhance the awareness of engineering and related professionals involved in developing and managing infrastructure (e.g. energy, transportation, water, etc.), and the built environment (including buildings, facilities, public parks, etc.). With relevant examples, the talk is also expected to take a global view and place it in a regional/national/local context, considered as academically and linked to practical applications in both public and private sectors.
