IABSE-PH members at Scientific Committee of IABSE KL Spring Conference 2018

The IABSE Conference ‘Engineering the Developing World‘ will be held in Kuala Lumpur from April 2018, 25-27. The Conference is being hosted by the Malaysian Group of IABSE. The Organising Committee is being chaired by Paul Mullins and the Scientific Committee is being chaired by David Collings.


Philippine Group members of IABSE, Dr. Andres Oreta, Dr. Jason Maximino Ongpeng and Engr. Vin Coper Gonzales volunteered to be members of the scientific committee. The scientific committee is tasked to review the abstracts and papers submitted to the conference.

IABSE Conference - Guanghou 2016

The International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering (IABSE) Conference with the theme of “Bridges and Structures Sustainability – Seeking Intelligent Solutions” was held at Dongfang Hotel, Guangzhou, China last May 8-11, 2016,. The 22^nd National Conference of Bridge Engineering of China was also held simultaneously in the said event.

New IABSE-PH member, Kristian Lawrence Caringal, DLSU BSMS CIV student and DOST-ERDT scholar, presented a technical paper co-authored with his adviser, Dr. Andres Winston Oreta entitled “Numerical Investigation on the Effects of Local Damage to the Dynamic Properties of Buildings Using Limited Vibration Data” under the parallel session on Intelligent Solutions – Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) at the IABSE Conference. The paper discussed how to use data from accelerometers installed in a building to provide an estimate of the condition of a structure at any point in time.

IABSE-PH secretary attends 19th Congress at Stockholm, Sweden

 

Dr. Jonathan Dungca, Prof. in Civil Engineering and currently the Dean of the Gokongwei College of Engineering, DLSU, Manila attended the 19th Congress of the International Association on Bridge and Structural Engineering (IABSE) with the theme, “Challenges in Design and Construction of an Innovative and Sustainable Built Environment” last Sept. 21-23, 2016 at Stockholm, Sweden. The venue was City Conference Centre, Folkets Hus

Barnhusgatan 12 - 14,111 23 Stockholm. 

Dr. Dungca represented the Philippine Branch of IABSE, being its secretary at the annual meeting on the chairs of the national groups of IABSE. Dr. Dungca also presented his paper co-authored with Joshua Macaraeg on “Development of a Reference for Seismic Amplification: The case of Metro Manila" in a technical session of Loads (Earthquake Resistant Structures).
