The Civil Engineering Society, in coordination with the CE Faculty led by Engr. Kenneth Elevado, held a virtual forum entitled, “CEForum: Experimental Stress and Structural Mechanics” last August 28, 2021. The said forum was conducted for DLSU CE students, specifically under the LBYCV2E (Theory of Structures Laboratory) course, to broaden their knowledge on possible applications of structural mechanics and experimental testing.
The forum was hosted by Mr. Jheram De Borja, a DLSU CE undergraduate student. The program began with the welcoming remarks of Engr. Daniel Valerio, DLSU CE Assistant Prof. Lecturer. DLSU’s CE Professor Dr. Andres Oreta and past CE graduates were the distinguished speakers invited to showcase key studies on four different topics – CFRP Compression Test and DIC, Steel Testing, Bamboo Testing, and Beam-Column Testing. The following were the speakers and their corresponding studies discussed during the event:
· Engr. John Emmanuel Endaya, DLSU CE Graduate School Alumni – “Experimental Study on Residual Axial Strength Capacity of CFRP Wrapped Concrete Cylinder (Full and Partial Confinement) after exposure to Elevated Temperature”
· Mr. John Elijah Dela Cruz, DLSU CE Alumni – “Development of an Alternative BRB Under the Compression Stage Using Light Gauge Square Steel Pipe and Mortar as Infill”
· Engr. Marion Ryan Vicencio, DLSU CE Alumni, “Determining the Mechanical Properties for Flexure of Bambusa blumeana”
· Dr. Andres Winston Oreta, DLSU CE Professor, “Static Testing of Beam-Column Connections”
Speakers presented their researches to the students during the CEForum.
The knowledge experts were able to thoroughly discuss the laboratory experiment conducted in their respective studies. The forum ended with the closing remarks of Engr. Kenneth Toral, DLSU CE Assistant Prof. Lecturer.
