A Structured Virtual Reality Laboratory Methodology for Teaching Structural Mechanics to Undergraduate Engineers

Computer Applications in Engineering Education, Volume 34, Issue 5, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Developing spatial and physical intuition for structural behaviour is a central challenge in undergraduate engineering education, and virtual reality (VR) offers a compelling medium for addressing it through immersive, interactive exploration. However, most published research focuses on the design of VR platforms, with limited attention to how

Application of symbolic time series analysis for damage localisation in truss structures

, 2014
Reliability of truss bridges can be significantly affected by local damages as damage changes the load path in the structure. As damage increases, the load-carrying capacity of the structure considerably reduces which might result in catastrophic failure.

Experimental Investigation of Demountable Truss Joints of Rectangular Hollow Sections using Self‐drilling Screws

ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 2-3, Page 97-102, September 2026.
Abstract Rectangular Hollow Section (RHS) truss structure with the demountable non‐weld solutions is interesting for the reuse purpose, while it is challenging since the inner surface of RHS section is inaccessible. This paper presents a series of experimental investigations on the demountable RHS truss joints using self‐drilling screws.

World's First Hybrid WAAM Steel 3D Truss – An Imperial‐MX3D Demonstrator

ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 2-3, Page 555-560, September 2026.
Abstract Traditional steel construction is limited in its ability to deliver optimised structural forms and remains labour‐intensive in the fabrication of intricate components. Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) offers high geometric freedom and construction automation; however, fully additively manufactured steel structures remain constrained by ...

Explicit FE Modelling of Cold‐formed Steel K‐Joints using Dimpled Screwed Connections

ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 2-3, Page 1646-1651, September 2026.
Abstract Cold‐formed steel (CFS) thin‐walled structures, such as floor joists, are becoming popular in mid‐rise buildings. These joists are typically fabricated as truss systems, with unlipped channels forming the top and bottom chords and lipped stiffened channels used as diagonal web members.

Analysis of high‐rise buildings equipped with innovative section‐eccentric outrigger belt trusses

ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 2-3, Page 1435-1441, September 2026.
ABSTRACT In high rise building design, strengthened storeys with outrigger trusses are commonly used to transfer the horizontal loads from the core of the structure to the peripheral columns. However, outrigger trusses configured with conventional steel braces (CSB) suffer from certain drawbacks correlated with the increase in stiffness of the ...

Structural Behaviour of Lattice Cells Under Compressive Loading Enabled by WAAM

ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 2-3, Page 516-521, September 2026.
Abstract Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM), a rapidly evolving metal 3D printing (Additive manufacturing) technology, offers opportunities for realizing large‐scale structural elements with complex geometries. The current study introduces a novel class of lattice steel elements developed by integrating WAAM process constraints with structural ...

Practical Truss Layout Optimisation with Connection Penalisation

ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 2-3, Page 686-691, September 2026.
Abstract This study introduces a layout optimisation framework for minimum volume truss structures that explicitly accounts for connection complexity. Conventional minimum volume formulations identify material‐efficient layouts but often yield designs with excessive nodal connectivity and many lightly loaded members, making them impractical and costly ...

Seismic Retrofitting of a Pre‐code Five‐storey R/C Building with an Innovative Induction Hardened Steel Exoskeleton

ce/papers, Volume 9, Issue 2-3, Page 2647-2653, September 2026.
Abstract This study investigates an innovative seismic retrofitting solution for existing R/C buildings based on externally installed vertical steel trusses, known as the i‐EXOS system (exoskeleton), and develops a performance‐based seismic design method for its implementation.
