Video-Webinar on SONA (Structural Engineering: Outstanding and Novel Achievements)

The video-webinar on SONA or  "Structural Engineering: Outstanding & Novel Achievements" is a self-paced webinar where the participant may view the video presentations and lectures prepared by the organizers at his/her own pace/time/place. The video presentations and lectures are uploaded at the STRUCT-CHANNEL @ YouTube. The STRUCT-CHANNEL is a platform for sharing video presentations about structural engineering to advance the knowledge and understanding of civil engineering students, faculty and professionals about the relevance and importance of the structural engineering (STE) specialization in building the quality of life. The STRUCT-CHANNEL is an initiative of the Advocates of Structural Engineering Group (ASTEG), an informal group whose members are volunteer structural engineers from the Philippine Group of IABSE and/or ASEP.

The viewer is advised to watch the video presentations in the following order to experience a progressive appreciation and understanding of "what structural engineering is" and "what structural engineers do."  View the lectures uploaded below or click the links to go to the STRUCT-CHANNEL.

IABSE-PH supports the 6ACEE-Cebu, Philippines

The Philippine Group of IABSE, once again, is one of the supporting organizations of a conference hosted by the Association of Structural Engineers of the Philippines. This time, IABSE-PH is supporting the 6th ASIA Conference on Earthquake Engineering which will be held on Sept. 22-24, 2016 at Cebu City, Philippines. IABSE-PH members, Dr. Andy Oreta and Rannie Ison are the founding members of the ACEE in 2004 and are now members of the organizing committee of the 6ACEE.

The 6^th ASIA Conference on Earthquake Engineering (6ACEE) will be held on on September 22-24, 2016 in Cebu City on the occasion of the 55th anniversary of Association of Structural Engineers of the Philippines, Inc. (ASEP) and in commemoration of the 3rd anniversary of the 2013 Bohol Earthquake. The theme of the 6ACEE is "Bridging Theory and Practice in Earthquake Engineering for Enhancing Community Earthquake Resilience."
