New article “Fatigue analysis of hybrid steel construction parts using LPBF on hot-rolled steel”
8 February 2024
In his recent article, Dr. Kanyilmaz and his colleagues looked into the ways to successfully connect metal 3D printed (LPBF) parts to the conventional steel. In particular, they tested fatigue performance of hybrid metal additive manufactured joints vs EN 1993-1-9 steel joints, measured the defects shape and orientation
Is timber better for climate than steel and concrete? It’s actually not that simple
22 January 2024
In today’s Global Construction Review article, Dr. Kanyilmaz challenges the oversimplified views on sustainable construction. His team’s AI-powered tool emphasized that sustainability depends on multiple factors, including building design and material sourcing. Notably, reused steel is identified as exceptionally sustainable, surpassing traditional materials like timber and
Life-cycle driven design of steel structures
20 January 2024
Dr. Kanyilmaz created an 8-hour training, where you’ll gain a deep understanding of:
🌍 Challenges and opportunities for the steel community during the climate crisis,
🤔 The meaning of each life-cycle stage of a steel construction,
📊 Analysis and comparison of worldwide steel EPDs,
📈 Strategies to calculate and minimize the hashtag#embodiedcarbon carbon of steel

3rd coordination meeting of ConstructAdd project
21-22 September 2023
3rd coordination meeting of ConstructAdd project took place in Turin, Italy. ConstructAdd is a EU-RFCS project coordinated by Alper Kanyilmaz, and it aims to place the Metal Additive Manufacturing in the mainstream of Architecture Engineering, Construction (AEC), and Automotive industries. It will be achieved by developing design guidelines and processes for sustainable steel building and electric car
Fatigue Stress Concentration Factor Reduction via Metal Additive Manufacturing. Strength Mater 55, 575–581 (2023)
20 July 2023
https://doi.org/10.1007/s11223-023-00550-3. This research article explored the use of additive manufacturing (AM) techniques to produce nature-inspired structures that exhibit reduced stress concentration factors, known to be a leading cause of fatigue-related failures.
