Interview with Mike Schlaich, introducing SED 17: Click Here! SED 17: Extradosed bridges can be an elegant and economical solution for bridges with spans ranging between 100 and 250m. This novel type of cable-supported bridges has become quite successful in recent years first in Japan and then all over the world. Experienced members of the international bridge community have come together in Working Commission 3 of IABSE to share their knowledge and to prepare a SED which provides the reader with guidance and practical advice that was not available so far. This book contains useful information regarding conceptual and structural design, analysis, construction, cost and typical properties of Extradosed Bridges. Edited by Mike Schlaich, co-authors include: Andreas Apitz (coordinator), Thierry Duclos, Akio Kasuga, Serge Montens, Jose Turmo, Chithambaram Sankaralingam and Juan Sobrino. Download your copy now!

The main goal of the Symposium is the creation of a forum for debate on the development of bridge and structural engineering as part of worldwide culture, and on current challenges in this area. The Symposium shall be focusing on significant issues, such as Civil Engineering Structures as Monuments of Culture and Technical Development; Condition Assessment of Contemporary and Historical Structures; Conservation, Upgrading and Management of Contemporary and Historical Structures as well as the Future of Civil Engineering Structures. Last November 27 - 29, was the “Wroclaw Bridge Days 2019”, the most significant local bridge conference in Poland and the OC for IABSE Symposium in Wroclaw took this opportunity to invite Chep Uytiepo, Executive Director, to join the event as part of his pre-conference site visit. Chep was pleased to see how the event was very well organised with almost 500 participants organised by the same local organisers led by Prof. Jan Bien, Prof. Jan Biliszczuk and Dr. Paweł Hawryszków. The OC is excited to welcome the Symposium participants to the beautiful city of Wroclaw, also known as “The City of Hundred Bridges” and the exciting program they are preparing for the participants. There will be a Bridge Competition as well for the students. Watch out for more information More information: Click Here! About the City of Wroclaw: Click Here! | |

| | | The year 2019 was a special year for IABSE as it celebrates its 90th Anniversary! The celebration began during the IABSE Symposium Guimaraes where the IABSE President Fernando Branco presented a special report on IABSE's History. Followed by slicing of 90th Anniversary cake and IABSE flag was handed over to Jose Matos, Chair of the Portuguese Group of IABSE and to passed around National Group Chairs around the world and to travel to IABSE Congress in New York. During the Opening Ceremony, the short video of NG Chairs, speaking at their native language while passing the flag was presented. It was followed by the unfurling of the first IABSE flag received from the Japanese Group in Tokyo in 1976. This is the first flag carrying the emblem of IABSE Logo which symbolizes "Humanity". Finally, the celebration ended with the slicing of the 90th Anniversary cake distributed to all participants at the coffee break. Watch the video here (Video) This year also marked the beginning of Yaojun Ge's 3 year term as President of IABSE, the announcement of 44 Task Groups, and the restructuring of Young Engineers Programme. These are just a few examples of all the milestones that were achieved by IABSE Members together this year. All 2019 issues of SEI journal marked with 90th Anniversary logo on the front cover to commemorate this occasion. The year is ending with publishing a new IABSE Bulletin, SED 17, edited by Andreas Lampropoulos and Mike Schlaich and in making available for members three Young Engineers Colloquium Proceedings (The Netherlands; Germany and Poland; Japan, China, Korea and Hong Kong). Your participation in IABSE activities is necessary to the Association's unceasing drive for a dynamic global network! Learn, Share, and Build a Better World Together as
IABSE's Engineers! | | |
