ASCE East Central Florida Branch

2010 STRUCTURES CONGRESS - CALL FOR PROPOSALS May 12-14, 2010 Orlando, Florida
The Structural Engineering Institute (SEI) of ASCE and the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC) are joining forces in 2010 to host the first ever combined Structures Congress/North American Steel Construction Conference (NASCC). Technical programs are being developed for each with close coordination between the program committees.
The program of the Structures Congress will provide a forum to advance the art, science and practice of structural engineering. We are currently accepting proposals for complete sessions and individual papers to be presented in the Structures Congress section of the program. Presentations will be selected from the open call and by invitation.
For more details on how to submit a proposal to the Structures Congress, visit the conference website.
At this event we will also be hosting the 19th Analysis and Computation Specialty Conference. If you are interested in submitting proposals for this event go to the conference website.
