Don't miss the upcoming IABSE Event:
2nd Bridge Engineering Workshop Mexico 2019! Early Bird fees until May 29 - Register here. The Mexican Society for Earthquake Engineering and the Mexican Group of IABSE will together host this 2nd workshop on June 6 and 7, 2019 at the Puerto Vallarta Hilton Hotel. In the past few years the number of bridges in the Mexican road system has grown, as well as in the main cities of the country. Being exposed to different load conditions, such as: vehicular, soil pressure, earthquake or wind, among others, coupled with a lack of regulation codes for the construction and design of bridges, there is uncertainty about the level of their structural security condition.

| Chairs of National Groups, this is the last call for nominations for Outstanding Structure Awards. Information and Deadline
(June 30, 2019): Click Here! The IABSE Outstanding Structure Award (OStrA) was established in 1998. It is one of the highest distinctions awarded by IABSE and recognises, in different regions of the world, some of the most remarkable, innovative, creative, or otherwise stimulating structures. Sustainability and respect of the environment is also an important factor. The Awards are restricted to a maximum of one Award per year. Who will be the Winner next year? Send in your nominations fast. IABSE and Activities around the World with our over 50 National Groups! IABSE can expand and grow only when our Members and National Groups (NGs) can plan and take active steps, to promote the Association through small-scale as well as international events/talks/seminars or workshops. We are having a steady rise in the number of IABSE events that are being organised since 2017—more and more National Groups are planning and successfully executing Seminars, Young Engineers Colloquiums, Workshops, Study Trips in their countries. ‘Regularity’ of events is the key factor in maintaining IABSE’s presence in your country. Apart from organizing events, if you make it your personal motto that ‘I as a Member will influence at least 2 New Members to join the Association this year’, then imagine the impact all of you can make together for IABSE! | | |
