May 18 - May 21, 2008 Inaugural Engineering Mechanics Conference 2008 Minneapolis, MN Inaugural International Conference of the Engineering Mechanics Institute (EM08)- Department of Civil Engineering - University of Minnesota Mechanics has had a rich history in defining, inspiring, and enabling innovation in many scientific and technological fields. Because it provides a common rigorous foundation for numerous science and engineering disciplines, its imprint can be found in numerous critical bodies of knowledge that attempt to understand, predict, and affect the world around us. The future opportunities for the advancement and application of mechanics are limitless. The vision of the ASCE Engineering Mechanics Institute is to be a premier organization representing engineering mechanics by effectively serving the needs of the worldwide engineering mechanics community and promoting both research and application of scientific and mathematical principles to address a broad spectrum of existing and emerging engineering and societal problems. It is in this vein that the Inaugural International Conference of the Engineering Mechanics Institute (EM08) will be held in Minneapolis on May 18-21, 2008. EM08 will provide a major forum for the exchange of information and discussion of recent developments in, and applications of, solid and fluid mechanics. Technical sessions will highlight and promote new thrusts and innovative developments in the field regardless of the discipline that inspired them. Furthermore, EM08 will provide a forum for engineers, planners, industry representatives, citizen groups, public officials, students, and others to promote the interdependence of engineering mechanics. This forum will help cultivate an environment that allows for the anticipation of, and adaptation to new challenges that engineers face thereby facilitating professional growth to ensure these challenges are met.

The FHWA hopes to leverage the funds that have been spent on seismic research to improve the performance of bridges and the highway system, regardless of the hazard. I encourage all to attend." Conference Director Dr. Phil Yen, Federal Highway Administration, has announced that the theme of this conference will be "Seismic Technologies for Extreme Loads". This will open up discussion to include other hazards with the hopes of creating a synergistic approach to protective systems. Dr. Yen emphasizes that the overriding goal of the conference is to enhance the technical expertise of engineering professionals so that they can have the latest tools to mitigate the risk of damage to the highway infrastructure through design, retrofit, and other measures. The conference is organized by Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), Transportation Research Board (TRB), MCEER, University at Buffalo, and the hosting agency South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT). The technical program will feature over 75 technical presentations and keynote speakers from around the world. There will be two best paper awards presented. The conference will include a student design competition, a poster session, an awards luncheon, and an optional boat tour of Charleston harbor and the recently completed Arthur Ravenel Jr. (Cooper River) Bridge. There will also be a pre-conference workshop on Sunday. Also planned is a technical exhibition where engineers and managers can talk personally with company representatives who can explain the latest technology, products and services in the field.

Oct 15 - Oct 18, 2008 Transportation and Development Institute of ASCE's Pavement Conference Bellevue, WA You are invited to attend the ASCE's 2008 Airfield & Highway Pavements Conference to explore "Efficient Pavements Supporting Transportation's Future". If you are on the frontline and are constantly challenged to construct and rehabilitate airport and highway pavements that are durable, smooth, quiet, efficient, cost-effective and capable of supporting projected traffic operation, while minimizing closures during construction, this is the conference for you. More and more of the airfield and highway pavement industry is challenged to find cost-effective solutions to ensure long-term quality for its finished product. Successful use of new technology is often the key solution. As part of the Technical Session, distinguished presenters, addressing all areas of current thinking and experience, will cover New Technologies in Pavement Design, Evaluation of Pavements, New and Innovative Materials and New Construction Techniques. Workshops include: Back-to-Basics, which will explore current technology in airfield pavement engineering fundamentals and pavement thickness design for airfields and roadways. This workshop is aimed at the newer pavement design professional. Thickness Design, which will explore how to use the latest FAA and AASHTO thickness design procedures. A tour of Boeing's Everett Assembly Facility and of the runway at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (Sea-Tac) has also been planned. If you are a planner, designer, owner, researcher or contractor, don't miss this conference

He has been involved with the use of high strength fibres for applications in Structural Engineering since 1982, when he was working at Imperial College in London. His initial studies concentrated on the use of aramid ropes as pre-stressing tendons for concrete structures, and stay cables for bridges. Later work has studied the use of aramid fibre spirals for containment of compression zones, and the application of fracture mechanics to the breakdown of bond with CFRP plates. He has presented keynote and invited lectures at many international conferences. Professor Jin-Guang Teng r. Jin-Guang Teng is Chair Professor of Structural Engineering, Dean of the Faculty of Construction and Land Use, and Associate Vice President of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. His research interests include the application of fibre-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites in construction, steel structures, shell structures, and structural mechanics.
