The Chinese National Engineering Research Centre for Steel Construction (Hong Kong Branch), also namely as CNERC-Steel at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University contributes to engineering research and innovative applications of high strength steels in construction since 2015, and achievements include:
a) Microstructural change and modified mechanical properties at large deformations under cyclic actions
b) Contribution on Structural Eurocodes in steel construction on effective use of high strength steels
c) Welding technology and quality control on steel plates for Cross Bay Link Bridge in TKO
d) Development of high strength steels in pre-fabricated construction systems and modular integrated construction (MiC) in residential buildings, and long span composite bridges
