Description:
Creating & Renewing Urban Structures,Tall Buildings, Bridges & Infrastructure

The topics selected for the 2008 Congress keep in mind the ever present need for engineers worldwide to exchange information on the evolving practice of structural engineering. As the world changes, demands are placed on educators and practicing engineers to develop state-of-the-art techniques for analysing, designing, constructing, evaluating, maintaining and predicting how structures will behave. This Congress, through various presentations, will focus on issues relating to urban habitats and their surrounding structures including tall buildings, bridges, large-scale structures and infrastructure.

1. Design Challenges
2. Learning from Experience
3. Creative Design and Construction
4. Engineering as a Global Profession

The Congress is intended for civil and structural engineers and associated professionals interested in the latest achievements and developments in the research, design, construction, monitoring, maintenance and rehabilitation of civil engineering structures. Owners, consultants, designers, operators, researchers, contractors, educators, suppliers, governmental agency personnel interested in the Congress themes and topics are invited.
