steelTalks is a monthly series on topics of interest to the global steel community. The lectures are presented in a webinar format with a guest lecturer. In this lecture, the results of experimental tests of full-scale steel connections in quasi-static tests are discussed. Connections between steel profiles and cases with columns embedded in reinforced concrete are analysed in order to assess the vulnerability of existing buildings and modern construction trends.

Stirring the Pot is a podcast by HERA that explores innovation, sustainability, and transformation in New Zealand’s metals industry. Through conversations with experts, it delves into topics such as low-carbon steel, digital construction, workforce development, and cultural integration, aiming to challenge traditional thinking and inspire progress across the sector.

This course introduces the Low-Carbon Circular Design Framework — a material- and typology-agnostic approach to guiding sustainable construction design. Participants will learn how to apply strategies that minimize embodied carbon, enhance circularity, and integrate life cycle thinking across all design phases.

Today, the construction industry is at the heart of the global sustainability challenge. Buildings and infrastructure account for nearly 40% of the world's energy-related carbon emissions.
