In response to the alarming environmental problems, there is a pressing need for a fundamental shift towards sustainable construction. However, limited attention has been given in the literature to the governance of this transformative change. The paper aims to address this research gap by investigating how the transition to sustainable construction can be realized despite the barriers encountered. The analysis focuses on the Dutch Building Agreement Steel as an illustrative case. By examining the governance structure of the Agreement and evaluating its results thus far, the study concludes that a collaborative network of partners has effectively developed a roadmap and performed accompanying activities to achieve the intended objectives. Nonetheless, a key challenge lies in mobilizing the entire construction steel chain and the government during the upcoming scale‐up phase to actively adhere to the Agreement. This new form of network governance, facilitated by an independent intermediary, does not replace traditional public governance; rather, it complements it. The approach tested in the Netherlands holds potential for application in other contexts as well.

Among the most frequent tasks occurring in railway bridge construction, there is the replacement of old structures of length up to 25 m. To reduce the own weight, old bridges are usually erected without a ballast bed. On the contrary, today railway bridges are provided with a ballast bed with a standard depth of 55 cm. As in most cases neither the top of rail can be raised nor the bottom line of the structure can be lowered, the depth of the construction itself must be kept as low as possible. An appropriate (though special‐purpose and expensive) solution is given by a trough bridge with 120 mm‐deep heavy a steel plate as road deck. This plate is connected by fillet and single‐level broad welds to the web plates. The present article deals with the fatigue verification of these welded details based on a modified formulation of notch stresses.

High performance steels, such as stainless steels, have many desirable characteristics that warrant their use in various sectors, including infrastructure and energy applications. This paper is concerned with two of such applications: (i) the use of stainless steel for large‐scale liquid hydrogen storage tanks, which is a requirement for the future hydrogen energy network, and (ii) the use of stainless steel in steel‐framed buildings to enhance their robustness under extreme loading conditions. The paper begins with a discussion of the technical challenges associated with the material behaviour of stainless steel storage tanks under extreme temperature and pressure conditions. It presents and discusses the results of a pilot experimental programme that investigates the mechanical behaviour of stainless steel 304 L material under cryogenic 20 k hydrogen environment. Next, to demonstrate the benefits of the strategic use of stainless steel in the key connection parts of steel‐framed structures, the paper presents the setup for a new test programme that investigates the behaviour of stainless steel beam‐to‐column connections, using A4‐70 bolts and EN1.4301 plates, under a column removal scenario. The numerical modelling prediction results of the specimens are presented, and comparisons with carbon steel counterparts are made and discussed.

The article presents the current status of the revision of EN 1993‐1‐11 with regard to the design of saddles and clamps for ropes or for parallel wire tension components for suspended structures. The focus here is on presenting a general approach for clamps. For saddles, emphasis is on types where the slip resistance is – in addition to the component from deviation forces – increased by clamping forces, although general aspects are also covered. The starting point is a (retrospective) look at the provisions in national standards and guidelines as well as in the current version of EN 1993‐1‐11 (2006). Subsequently, the new provisions are presented, and the different new coefficients are explained in detail.

A structural soundness monitoring system for building steel structures is effective for a quick inspection just after large earthquakes. A damage‐controlled structure can be monitored effectively because damage is strictly concentrated in energy‐absorbed members, and that, in this case, the physical quantity suitable for monitoring is displacements of those energy absorbed members. Buckling‐restrained braces (also, the BRB using steel mortar planks, BRBSM), one of the energy‐absorption members, can be directly monitored by the monitoring sensor; it will be possible to quickly evaluate the extent of damage and make a prompt decision on the replacement. Focusing on functionality of a structural soundness monitoring system, a damage evaluation method of the BRB using steel mortar planks and its corresponding monitoring system are verified conducting by a cyclic loading test. It is demonstrated that the cumulative plastic strain energy can be estimated approximately using this system, and this system is adapted to a mid‐rise steel building.
