Abstract

My presentation/ lecture is also perfect platform for opining up some questions on a major problem surrounding innovation in steel structures; construction, design and performance that has arouse the interest of contactors, designers, architectural engineers and researchers for some time. The questions confront us because, i) no obviously satisfactory answer is readily apparent, ii) the problem itself is not yet apparent to many people and after completing my lecture/presentation the audience will be brought to the questions at least and thus If we can get that far, our time will be very well spent. The questions we should address are; Why Innovation, How Innovation is different from science, engineering and inventions, what are the factors/characteristics for nurturing innovation culture in steel industries. I will cast a concise lights on the above and prove that by adapting; One-Strong leadership committed to innovation, Two- Minimal hierarchy in decision making, Three- Commitment to deliverables and implementation, Four-Values disparate talents & entrepreneurship, Five- Value the creative and unconventional ideas, Six- Moves quickly and adapts readily and Seven- willingness to accept failures, the culture of innovation in steel construction industry can be nurtured. The presentation will be concluded by showing a video displaying the results of a full-scale research case study on lateral impact response of steel end plate beam         to column connections  and compared with finite elements modling. Coloured photos showing the behaviour of the tested elements will be displayed too
