Join us for an engaging session on the future of fire and structural engineering, featuring leading experts in ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC) and AI-driven protective engineering. Kang Hai Tan will explore the fire resistance of UHPC, uncovering the mechanisms behind explosive spalling, the role of fibers and material design, and the structural performance of reinforced UHPC columns under elevated temperatures.
The event will also feature Panwei Du presenting cutting-edge advances in AI for fire and blast engineering, showcasing how physics-informed deep learning can transform complex simulations into real-time predictive tools. Attendees will gain insight into how AI-powered neural operator models are enabling faster decision-making, rapid multi-scenario analysis, and innovative digital twin applications for resilient infrastructure design.
