The Longest Bridge, The Shortest Route - Engineering Summit & Technical Workshop on the 10th Anniversary of the Confederation Bridge: Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada on 19-22 August 2007

The Canadian Society for Civil Engineering (CSCE) is co-hosting the Engineering Summit & Technical Seminar to mark the 10th Anniversary of the Confederation Bridge. The objective of this summit is to share with the engineering community the experience acquired in the design and management of a large project in addition to maintenance of the bridge under severe environmental conditions. This has been achieved as a result of the excellent relationship between the Strait Crossing Bridge Limited (SCBL) and the Canadian Federal Government (Transport Canada).

This event is open to all engineers, students, and interested collegues. Presentations will be by invitation only. The workshop concludes with a technical tour inside the bridge. For more information and to register, visit the Official Website

Technical Seminar on the Response Spectrum Method for the Seismic Design of Structures, (10.0 Professional Development Hours Credit): Vancouver, BC on Friday & Saturday, 1 & 2 June 2007

This seminar covers the development and application of response spectrua for seismic design of structures. Fundamental concepts of structural dynamics along with the concept of the response spectrum; how it is determined; the NBCC 2005 Uniform Hazard Response Spectrum (UHRS) and the effect of site specific conditions on spectra will be covered.

Attend In Person or Online Through Internet Webcast

Discount fees for existing CSCE Members, Associate Members, and Student Members!
If you are not a CSCE Member yet, we are as well offering a special discount fee if you also sign up for the CSCE membership while registering for this seminar (See our brochure for further details).

Practical aspects of response spectral analysis will be described, by means of illustrative case studies of representative low, mid and high-rise buildings. This seminar will be of interest to practicing structural and geotechnical engineers involved in the design and construction of a wide variety of structures.

This one-time opportunity is being offered by renowned experts and researchers on Earthquake Engineering Technology and being co-sponsored by ACE-BC Chapter, Canadian Institute of Steel Construction BC Region, Cement Association of Canada, Consulting Engineers of BC, APEGBC Division of Structural Engineers, and Vancouver Geotechnical Society.
