Mr. Max Meyer, Dipl Bau Ing ETH. SIA, VSL Technical Centre Asia/Australia, will conduct a seminar on SEGMENTAL CONSTRUCTION FOR BRIDGES & FLYOVERS -From Concept over Design and Detailing to Construction of State-of-the-Art Pre-stressed Concrete Bridges in Urban Areas, on Wednesday, 26 March 2008, from 1:30 – 3:00 p.m. in room N-240, Academic Building.
Abstract:
After an introduction basic considerations during conceptual design stage are explained. The presentation focuses on the following bridge construction methods:
