Forum on Pre-stress & Post-tensioning Technologies (2010)

Introduction: The development of pre-stress and post-tensioning technologies is one of the most important innovations in structural concrete engineering in the twentieth century. Pre-stress and post-tensioning technologies promote the advanced performance in concrete structures as well as that in steel structures. Such techniques give a breakthrough in large-span and heavy-loading concrete structural fames and also provide beauty in architecture and economy in engineering.

Pre-stress and post-tensioning technologies were first introduced into Taiwan in the 1950s. These techniques efficiently improved the ability of engineering design in two freeways in Taiwan during the Ten Major Construction Projects from the 1970s to 1980s and the 6-Year National Construction Projects in the 1990s. The technique of construction quality and maintenance in infrastructures are the important topics in the near future. An interaction platform on the pre-stress and post-tensioning technologies is really indeed for pre-stress and post-tensioning technologies community.

China Engineering Consultants Inc. would like to host the forum on pre-stress and post-tensioning technologies. Themes of the forum include inspection techniques, health monitoring, damage assessment, design code, and anchorage system. The contents of forum cover the design codes in different countries or areas, design analysis, construction techniques, inspection and monitoring techniques, optimization of concrete structural system, and case studies. In the forum, we expect to raise the pre-stress and post-tensioning technologies and promote the long-term assurance of durability and safety in pre-stressed bridges.
