SUMMARY:Adaptable structures - what really is serviceability?
DESCRIPTION:Since 1975\, the British Group of IABSE has held a two day colloquium in Cambridge every summer for about 25 invited participants. The purpose of the event is to exchange views on a structural engineering theme of topical importance. \nThe Institution’s Structural Futures Committee\, in conjunction with the IABSE British Group are hosting a discussion based on the theme of this year’s Henderson Colloquium: ‘Adaptable structures – what really is serviceability?’ The debate will focus on the leading issues raised including monitoring of existing and new structures\, flexible use of structures\, what governs serviceability\, and use of new technologies. \nThe panel will seek to explore how well we understand what governs serviceability\, and whether this should be driving design. Can increased monitoring of existing and new structures provide the data that allows for alterations to these rules? Can modern data analysis techniques allow us to update load factors on a regular or live basis based on current information? Can adaptable structures accommodate varying comfort requirements over a short time frame? How good are we at predicting the future use of our structures? What prospective new technologies are there that may improve serviceability performance? And ultimately\, is there a new family of structures that: \n\nAre designed for the first use load case\nHave a lower embodied energy\, material use and construction cost\nAre designed for flexibility but future use is not pre-judged\nWill be able to accommodate new technologies\, and also contain monitoring to improve the global understanding of performance?\nAre truly adaptable?\n\nThe speakers are: \nDavid Knight\, Director\, Design & Engineering\, Cake Industries\nEd Clark\, Director\, Arup & Chair\, Structural Futures Committee\nNeil Loudon\, Group Manager – Structures Highways England\nWilliam Algaard\, Associate Director\, Arup\nMichal Drewniok\, Research Assistant in Civil Engineering\, University of Cambridge\nIan Firth\, Consultant\, COWI \nFurther details on the event and tickets are available here. \nWatch online \nThis lecture will be livestreamed from 18:00 GMT. To view use the registration button\, selecting registration type ‘watch online’. \nPlease note that currently the livestream is not optimised for mobile/tablet viewing so we strongly recommend you to view via a PC/laptop. \nUnable to watch live? The lecture will be added to the Institution’s YouTube channel after the event. \nPhoto copyright: Charles G.
