报告简介 (Outline) :
　Nowadays, there is an urgent need for the construction industry worldwide, in particular, in many major cities in Asia, to improve their productivity through innovative use of materials. With a steady decrease in the construction costs of structural steelwork owing to abundant supply of Chinese steel materials, there is a growing interest to use  high performance steel materials in heavily loaded building structures.
    This presentation reports various research projects carried out at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University over the past three years to assess and promote effective use of quality Q690 steel materials in building structures: 
    (1) structural performance of Q690 steel materials under cyclic loads
    (2) residual stresses in welded joints: Q345 and Q690 steel plates
    (3) structural performance of Q690 welded steel H-sections under compression and bending?
