We are pleased to announce that the joint research and development efforts of the PEDI Research and Development Team (led by Vice President Nguyen Minh Hai and Development Manager Nguyen Van Huong) and the University of Danang – University of Science and Technology have resulted in a patent application. The patent is titled “Method for Producing Translucent Concrete Blocks Using Light-Transmitting Materials and Industrial Waste” and has been filed under application number 2-2024-00342. This invention involves a method for producing concrete that allows light to pass through while maintaining the same level of strength as conventional concrete. We believe that patent registration represents a significant step toward practical application. We

Proposals for Smart City Solutions to Da Nang City Based on the Research and Development Results in term of Infrastructure At the “Seminar on Applying the Results of Technical Development in the Field of Infrastructure to Improve Transportation in Da Nang City,” hosted by the Da Nang City Department of Transportation on May 31, 2024, a team from PEDI (including Dr. Nguyen M. Hai, Dr. Phan H. Nam, Dr. Nguyen V. Huong, Dr. Nguyen P. Q. Duy, and Ms. Mai T. T. Thuy), in collaboration with Da Nang University of Technology, presented the following two proposals: Translucent concrete materials have been the subject of foundational research by PEDI’s R&D team

The results of the research team, including PEDI’s staff Dr. Nguyen Minh Hai, Dr. Phan Hoang Nam and Dr. Nguyen Van Huong, have been published in an Q1 rank of international journal in Construction Materials area. The study emphasizes the importance of understanding and accurately applying design formulas in standards when calculating practical structural issues. The research indicates that the advancement of material technology is so rapid that sometimes structural design standards cannot be updated in time. On the other hand, new tools like artificial intelligence still seem to not be officially recognized in construction design. Therefore, engineers need solid knowledge to effectively apply design formulas, and need to keep

PEDI Civil Solutions and Safeplant – A spin off of Roma Tre University, Italy (https://safeplant.it) have formalized their partnership through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on 1st January 2024 with a specific emphasis on risk assessment and qualification in their collaborative projects. The two companies are set to integrate advanced risk management strategies into their civil engineering projects. This partnership aims to streamline the identification, evaluation, and mitigation of risks, ensuring the highest standards of safety and project success. The MoU, signed by both Parties, outlines the commitment of both PEDI and Safeplan to prioritize risk assessment and qualification throughout the project lifecycle. This strategic collaboration is

Dr. Phan Hoang Nam, the PEDI’s Technical Manager, has recently been honored with a Certificate of Appreciation from ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers). This acknowledgment was bestowed upon him for his co-authorship of an exceptional technical paper by the Seismic Engineering Technical Committee during the 2022 ASME Pressure Vessel and Piping (PVP) Conference. The distinguished paper, titled “On the use of artificial neural network technique for seismic fragility analysis of a three-dimensional industrial frame,” showcases Dr. Nam’s contributions to the seismic engineering field. The recognition was officially presented at the Seismic Engineering Technical Committee meeting during the 2023 PVP Conference. Notably, the PVP Conference, an annual event of global

PEDI’s R&D team, leading by Vice Director Nguyen Minh Hai, has published a new paper on international journal “Case Studies of Construction Materials”. This is the second achivement of our research project on developing self-sensing cement-based materials. Our team proposed a formula to predict the resistivity of mortar containing carbon fillers, considering temperature and humidity factors based on over 280 times of measurements. This is an important premise to calibrate the initial values of self-sensing concrete devices, a challenging and promising material for the future, especially in the ongoing digital transformation.

A research project led by core members from PEDI Civil Solutions (Dr. Nguyen Minh Hai and Ms. Mai Thi Thu Thuy) announced a notable achievement in the field of construction materials in May 2025. The paper, titled “Experimental investigation of the novel functions of polymethyl methacrylate-core concrete in light transmission and electromagnetic spectrum modification,” revealed the characteristics of a new type of concrete that incorporates polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) as a core material. This study demonstrated several remarkable features of PMMA-core concrete, including: 🏗️ Potential Applications in the Construction Sector PMMA-core concrete offers significant potential in sustainable and innovative construction, including: These features highlight PMMA-core concrete as a next-generation building material

On February 15, 2025, a symposium on human resource development for the future construction of urban and high-speed railway projects in Vietnam was held at Da Nang University of Science and Technology. The event gathered approximately 200 participants, including researchers, educational institutions, and domestic and international enterprises, engaging in active discussions. As one of the supporting organizations, PEDI Civil Solutions contributed to the symposium by inviting experienced experts in urban railway construction management as keynote speakers. Eiichi Oishi, President of JEM Inc., a company affiliated with PEDI, delivered the keynote speech. Drawing from over 40 years of experience in infrastructure construction management, he shared valuable insights, challenges, and lessons learned

The research and development team, in which PEDI participates, published a paper on next-generation permanent formwork in Engineering Failure Analysis (SCIE indexed, Q1 journal) this November.Title of the paper: “Experimental and finite element analysis of permanent formwork impacts on flexural failures of reinforced concrete beams” This paper summarizes findings obtained through experiments and analyses on precast permanent formwork, providing foundational insights for the development of next-generation permanent formwork.Currently, traditional formwork made of wood, steel, or plastic is predominantly used at construction sites in Vietnam. However, the application of permanent formwork is expected in the future, aiming to improve labor efficiency, construction productivity, and the durability of structures. See details of
