The 2019 Light of Internet Expo main exhibition hall in Wuzhen, China has an innovative roof system combining beam strings, multi-span suspended beams and redundant wind-resisting cables, covering an area of 90 m × 211 m. The suspended 200 mm deep beams form an undulating roof of 35.5 m to 48 m in span length. The novel de-sign, which efficiently combines architectural aesthetics and structural force flow, needed to be completed and built in just 7 months for the exhibition. This paper focuses on structural design issues such as form finding, shape optimisation and structural analysis.

Standard practice for bored concrete pile construction is to over-pour the concrete and crop the piles down after curing to ensure they are sound at cut-off level. This paper introduces an innovative ‘zero-trim pile’ technique, which has been trialled on the UK’s High Speed Two railway project. It eliminates the need for cropping by sucking out wet concrete above cut-off level. This increases safety, reduces noise, saves time, improves accuracy and avoids cracking. This paper reviews lessons learned from the trials and outlines steps for successful implementation of the technique on a wide range of in situ concrete piling and diaphragm walling projects.

The UK’s national railway network has evaluated climate change impacts, risks and adaptation solutions. This review establishes the case for greater attention to be given to the vulnerability rail transport beyond the mainline network. By considering the resilience of high-speed rail, mass rapid transit systems and light rail transit systems, the overall resilience of journeys can be improved. To this end, this review establishes current knowledge, practice and policy relating to rail beyond the mainline and outlines the next steps to achieve resilience. By providing this overview of advances, challenges and opportunities, practitioners and academics alike will be stimulated to pursue further resilience.

In 2021 the UK government published a review of lessons learned by the UK highways sector from extreme weather emergencies. As described in this paper, the review focused on the sector’s engagement with integrated emergency management and managing highways as critical ‘lifeline’ infrastructure. Focusing on robustness, reliability, redundancy, rapidity, resourcefulness and recovery, the review identified the need to develop consistent rapid impact assessment reporting, linked to regional- and national-level mutual aid contingencies. Underpinning this was the need to strengthen highway engineers’ ability to ‘prepare for their worst day, rather than their average day’.

An investigation was undertaken into the potential advantages and challenges of using small-scale modular sustainable drainage systems combined with real-time control systems as flood mitigation measures in public urban areas. By using case studies and undertaking a high-level local hydraulic assessment based on historic rainfall data, the flood mitigation benefits of various solutions were assessed. The paper aims to provide further evidence of the practicality and benefits of using green and smart surface water management systems in urban areas, ultimately leading to more sustainable and resilient communities.
