“Faster and more efficient construction,” says professor Niel Van Engelen, “and developing new methods for faster production of commercial and residential spaces is a need.”

In collaboration with civil engineering professor, Dr. Somma, at the University of Udine, Dr. Van Engelen, a professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Master’s students Tommaso Dorbolo and Endin Dafota and research associate Hamed Amini Tehrani are testing a new method, which involves concrete-filled steel tubes.
