As the saying goes, “safety first,” applies to every work industry globally, especially in construction. The construction industry is one of the most hazardous industries globally, and Pakistan is no exception. Pakistan is the sixth most populous country in the world, with over 220 million people. Out of this population, a significant number work in…
On 25 July 2000, Air France Flight 4590 took off from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport for New York but crashed shortly afterwards taking lives of all 109 passengers on board and 04 people on the ground. The incident may have faded away in history but the repercussions of it as well as the legal…
It is a matter of great pride to share the news that the NUST-PNEC team has won 2nd runner-up position in the KE 7/11+ Innovation Challenge organized by K-Electric. This podium position was coupled with a Rs 750,000/-investment plus an award from KE and NEPRA. This competition was a 6-month long design challenge for both…
The conventional way of construction faces various challenges like less productivity, restricted design, high construction cost, construction waste, conflict among the construction workers, and prolonged construction time. While the world is moving towards automation, efforts are being made to automate the construction industry through various technologies. Additive manufacturing in construction commonly known as 3D concrete…
Transition Towards Industry 5.0: The world is experiencing the fourth industrial revolution, or Industry 4.0, one of the future projects that the German government outlined in its 2010 ”High-Tech Strategy 2020” action plan. The end goal was to enhance digitization in smart production and bring automated control under the vision of mass production, like in…
Modern day scientific progress, research and discovery is dependent on computational capability. In many fields, large-scale physical experimentation has been replaced by computational modelling and simulation. The computational approaches reduce cost through eliminating the needs for designing several physical prototypes iteratively. Moreover, the development time can be reduced through improving design maturity by building detailed…
