FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT & CALL FOR PAPERS
SEC-2000
STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING CONVENTION: An International Meet
(Incorporating Polymer Composites in Construction)
5-8 January 2000
at
Mumbai (Bombay)
About the Convention
********************
The first Structural Engineering Convention (SEC) was held at IIT-Madras
during 12-14 February 1997. The Convention was a big success. It was felt
that such Conventions should be held regularly in the country. The Second
Convention is thus being planned during 5-8 January 2000.
The convention will be composed of plenary, keynote, invited, contributed
and poster presentations having a focus on the Improvement in the
Structural Engineering Practices. Also, a commercial exhibition is planned
at the Convention Centre. This will be a good opportunity for firms to
display their products and services. The convention will provide an ideal
forum for interaction amongst researchers, designers, architects,
practicing engineers, software developers/ promoters, manufacturers and
contractors to come together and disseminate the latest information and
technology related to the practical, theoretical and research experiences
in analysis, design, construction and maintenance in the following main
areas of structural engineering.
* Materials of Construction
* Fibre Reinforced Polymer Composites
* Construction Technology
* Assessment, Maintenance and Rehabilitation
* Computer Applications
* Recent Trends in Analysis and Design
* Tall Structures
* Bridges and Fly-overs
* Marine & Hydraulic Structures
* Aerospace Structures
* Special Structures
