IBRIDGE-2020, THE ENDURING LINK ANNOUNCEMENT FROM ORGANIZATION AND SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEES Dear Fellow Researchers, Colleagues and Friends, We have considered the global situation, and decided that we need to reschedule the conventional Istanbul Bridge Conference to August 2022 due to the persisting worldwide Covid-19 outlook. During November 16-17, 2020, on the announced days of the conference, we will enable online presentations for papers that have been accepted. That event will be free of charge. If you have not already submitted a paper and still want to make a paper submission for online presentation in November 2020, you can use the conference paper submission link to upload your paper. The accepted papers will be printed in the conference proceedings. If your company wants to count among sponsors for the online event, you can use the sponsor-link at the web site. The entire revenue of the conference will be donated to the IABSE Foundation, IABSE and Turkish Association of Bridge and Structural Engineers.
Like a bunch of sex-crazed celebrities, bridge builders are talking rehab — the kind that repairs a crumbling infrastructure. Stingy banks and a teetering economy have slowed new projects in the U. S., but there are plenty of bridges desperate for a fix. Some 26% of the country's 600, 905 bridges are structurally deficient, the American Society of Civil Engineers reports, and most others are approaching their prime. The engineers and policy players at this Pittsburgh conference will strategize how to reduce that number to 15% in the next three years. In the meantime, cross your fingers while crossing. — DAMIAN JOSEPH Sun, June 06 REHAB International Bridge Conference Have an event to share?
