MESSAGE FROM THE ORGANISERS The IABSE 2012 Conference entitled: “Global Thinking in Structural Engineering: Recent Achievements” is organised by the International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering (IABSE) in collaboration with the Egyptian Group of IABSE and the Egyptian Society of Engineers. This conference is the first of its kind to tackle such a global theme in presenting the recent achievements in structural engineering. In the last decades, different science disciplines have widely intersected and came together. Nevertheless, structural engineering has become one of the most important disciplines in several multi-disciplinary applications in the industrial world. Structural engineering has applications, not only in the construction and infrastructure industries, but also in the so-called “Multi-Disciplinary Industries (MDI)”. The role of structural engineering in the automobile and aviation industries is indispensable, where structural safety, aerodynamic behavior in service as well as the comfort of the passengers is essential aspect. This can only be done in harmonic collaboration with other disciplines, e.g. mechanical and electrical engineering, computer science, communication and global positioning systems. The conference aims to introduce the recent outcomes in research and practice for multi-disciplinary technological applications and also presentations on the timely themes: Sustainable Development and Structural Engineering; Structural Engineering and Renewable Energy Sources; Smart Structures, New Materials and Construction Techniques.

The Conference has attracted over 120 delegates from around 30 countries, covering a diverse range of organisations, academicians and construction industry professionals. Attendees include researchers, designers, consultants, owners, contractors, operators, suppliers and representatives of regulatory authorities. The call for papers resulted in more than 140 papers received. The activity of the Scientific Committee resulted in 93 papers selected for oral presentation. Seven keynote presentations will be provided by eminent engineers spread over the three day conference each tackling the different themes entailed. During the conference, the presentations will be arranged in plenary sessions and 2-3 parallel sessions. Special acknowledgements are owed to the members of the Organising and Scientific Committees for the great effort put into the organisation of the Conference. We are confident that the Sharm El Sheikh Conference will be an important scientific event and will have a strong impact in the field of structural engineering. Both the Scientific and Organising Committees would like to take this opportunity to thank all guests for their participation and we will do everything possible to make this a successful and unforgettable event.

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT OF IABSE

The Egyptian Group of IABSE and the Egyptian Society of Engineers (ESE) have organised many international conferences together over the years such as, a series of conferences on ‘Structural and Geotechnical Engineering (Last 2009)’, the ‘Middle East Conference on Structural Composite’ (last 2008) and the IABSE Workshop on Durability (2003). The Bridge Conference ‘Past Achievements, Current Trends, Future Technologies’ was co-sponsored by IABSE in 2000, at the time many large bridge projects had recently been completed in Egypt, and several remarkable bridge projects were under construction: the Suez Canal Bridge and El Ferdan Railway Swing Bridge over Suez Canal, and El-Mouneeb, El-Warrak, and Aswan bridges over the River Nile.

Twelve years later it is with great appreciation that we receive the invitation from the Egyptian Group of IABSE and the Egyptian Society of Engineers (ESE), both chaired by Prof. Abdel-Hady Hosny to attend the IABSE Sharm El Sheikh Conference “Global Thinking in Structural Engineering: Recent Achievements”.

A highly interesting Technical Programme has been prepared by the Scientific Committee chaired by Fathy Saad, Egypt and co-chaired by past President of IABSE Jacques Combault, France. I am looking forward to discuss with structural engineers and associated professionals, the recent outcomes in research and practice for multi-disciplinary technological applications, and hear presentations on the timely themes: Sustainable Development and Structural Engineering; Structural Engineering and Renewable Energy Sources; Smart Structures, New Materials and Construction Techniques.

There will be opportunity to share views too on technical visits, for example to the Al-Kuraymat Egypt a new solar power plant recently realised. It uses a solar parabolic trough system, which depends on a special structural engineering design that combines high precision in the steel fabrication and erection, accurate measurement and surveying technologies and error correction possibilities during assembly.

A Social Programme with a Gala Dinner and tours has been prepared by the organisers. The Venue, needless to say, will spoil us with opportunities of recreation, being a spectacular diving site in Sharm El Sheikh, offering historical sites close by and world heritage monuments within a day tours reach.

I wish to thank all members of the Scientific Committee for their hard work reading and evaluating the abstracts and the papers. Many thanks go to the Organising Committee for the preparation of the activities of the conference.

IABSE is grateful to our Egyptian hosts for organising this promising conference.

Predrag Popovic President of IABSE

TECHNICAL VISITS The Conference will entail two technical visits:

Technical Visit 1: Al-Kuraymat Solar Power Plants (Saturday, May 5, 2012) This is a full day visit to the solar power plant in Al-Kuraymat, about 100km to the south of Cairo. An expert will guide the participant through the technical background of this technology, as well as through the different parts of the solar field on site. The tour includes transport and lunch. The bus will depart from in front of the ESE premises (Ramses Street, Cairo) at 08:00 hrs. The bus will return to the same meeting point at 17:00 hrs. Visit extra fee: USD 20 (this includes transfer, lunch box, water and soft drink)

Technical Visit 2: El Ferdan Railway Bridge (Wednesday, May 9, 2012) El Ferdan Railway Bridge is a swing bridge that spans the Suez Canal near Ismailia, Egypt. It is the longest swing bridge in the world, with a span of 1100 ft (340 m). It runs from the east of Suez Canal to the west into Sinai, and opens most of the time to allow sailing ships to pass in the canal, and closes during passage of trains. The bus will depart from in front of the Hyatt Regency Hotel at 12:00 noon. It is approximately a 3 our driver. The visit will last for 2 hours from 15:00 – 17:00 hrs. The bus will transfer delegates directly to Cairo. Accommodation in Cairo may be arranged for interested delegates. Visit extra fee: USD 20 (this includes transfer, lunch box, water and soft drink)

SOCIAL PROGRAMME

Cultural Visits 1. Cairo Pre & Post Conference Tours: Egyptian Museum– Pyramids and Sphinx - Salah El Din Citadel & Mohamed Ali Mosque

This is an amazing way to get to know the breathtaking sites of Cairo in one day. The day begins with a two hour visit to the Egyptian Museum where the main sections of this unique and remarkable venue are covered. This is then followed by an hour and a half visit to the magnificent Salah El Din Citadel & Mohamed Ali Mosque of the 12th Century. Guests then get to relax and enjoy the Egyptian oriental cuisine at a 4 star restaurant.
