SUMMARY:Webinar: Fern the Diplodocus - A Structural Tale
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Max Clayton\, Winner of the Nethercot Prize 2024\, IABSE British Group.                      \nModerator: David Knight\, Chair\, IABSE British Group \nThe 2024 Nethercot Prize winner Max Clayton will give a webinar on his paper outlining the design and construction of Fern the Diplodocus. \nIn the gardens of the Natural History Museum\, a new resident stands tall over the Jurassic vegetation. Over the past four years\, Structure Workshop has collaborated with scientists at the Natural History Museum and Madrid-based art fabricators Factum Arte to design and make the world’s first and only post-tensioned bronze dinosaur. Based on Dippy\, the Museum’s famous and much-loved Diplodocus cast\, the new attraction is a free-standing\, 25m long\, life-size bronze dinosaur. Newly named Fern\, it was officially unveiled in July 2024 in the revamped museum gardens as part of the Urban Nature Project\, which has transformed the gardens into a biodiverse green space. The living dinosaur was an engineering marvel: an incredibly elegant and efficient natural structure. The neck and tail cantilevers are held aloft by thick\, strong ligaments under great tension\, running along the spine and anchored back to the hip. In the final design\, each bone is a separate hollow casting\, and they form the primary structural elements. The vertebrae are held together with stainless steel structural ‘tendons’ running along the spine. The tendons have been posttensioned to compress the bronze\, holding the separate vertebrae together and forming the main structural spine. Just like the real animal\, the tendons are anchored to the hip bone\, and the two cantilevers largely balance each other. Read further … \n \nClient: The Natural History Museum\, London. \nFabrication and digital mediation: Factum Arte. \nFounders: Fademesa.   \nStructural Engineering: Structure Workshop. \nFern the Diplodocus is supported by Kusuma Trust.

SUMMARY:Site Visit - Renfrew Bridge\, River Clyde
DESCRIPTION:The IABSE British Group is delighted to be able to offer a site visit to the Renfrew Bridge\, following the Bridges Scotland Conference and hosted by Hardesty and Hannover. \nProject Background \nThe Renfrew bridge is a 184-meter double-leaf bobtail cable-stayed swing bridge connecting Renfrew to Clydebank and Yoker. The crossing is the centrepiece of the Clyde Waterfront and Renfrew Riverside (CWRR) project\, which will transform the waterfront and improve access to jobs\, education\, hospitals\, and leisure pursuits. The bridge will also create new connections into Scotland’s Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District (AMIDS). Featuring an asymmetric or “bobtail” arrangement with 65-meter forward spans and 27-meter back spans\, the bridge will carry vehicles\, cyclists\, and pedestrians on two carriageways and two pedestrian footpaths. The steel superstructure spans are gear-driven\, hydraulically powered\, and open at a 110° angle. The pivots feature 6.7-meter-diameter slewing bearings. The forward steel superstructure is supported by cable-stays anchored to steel pylons and a counterweighted back span. \nTechnical details \nEach span on The River Clyde Bridge is 92 meters\, which makes it one of the largest double-leaf bobtail swing bridges in the world. One design decision that allowed H&H to achieve the massive span was to use an orthotropic deck to reduce the dead load. The cable stay system extends the superstructure support vertically which makes the bridge significantly lighter. The slewing bearing positioned underneath the structure is normally used within the crane industry. Here\, the system is made to accommodate a heavy balance load. H&H opted to repurpose a slewing bearing from Tyson Krupp\, a German firm that manufactures large-scale industrial equipment. \nA sustainable facet to the project was the installation process.  By floating in bridge segments from Belgium\, the surrounding region and native ecosystem were not affected by lorries transporting large components. The bridge materials were fabricated in Belgium in a well-ventilated warehouse with controlled conditions. There was no disruption to Glaswegian neighbourhoods due to fabrication\, paint\, and assembly of the bridge. The bridge is powered by a hydraulic motor system\, and the team uses biodegradable hydraulic fluid. \nAttendance \nAttendance is strictly limited\, so please only apply for a ticket if you are able to attend. We will maintain a waiting list so if you are unable to attend please let us know and we will cancel your ticket and offer it to others. You will need to bring appropriate PPE: hard hat\, high visibility vest\, boots\, gloves and glasses. \nDue to the state of construction it is unlikely to be possible to coordinate a swing of the bridge with the visit.

SUMMARY:IABSE Milne Medal 2024
DESCRIPTION:The Milne Medal is awarded to an individual engineer for excellence in structural design\, both in the overall concept and in the attention to detail in their work\, and is named in recognition of the late Bob Milne\, who served for many years as the Honorary Secretary of the IABSE British Group. This year\, we are delighted to award the Milne Medal to John Roycroft of BDP. \nJohn will give his Milne Medal Lecture “Send me a sketch” on the 14th November 2024 at the IStructE\, Bastwick Street\, London. \n \nJohn Roycroft \nJohn leads the civil and structural profession at BDP and has forged a career in the design and delivery of structurally challenging projects. John has a passion and energy for design which is central to bringing structural innovation to life. \nJohn particularly enjoys working with architects and clients from the outset of the project to drive the best solution. He is passionate about engineers communicating effectively and runs sketching workshops that help develop this important skill and allow young engineers to build confidence to engage with the design team early. He was the Chair of the ICE Structures Expert panel from 2009 to 2014. \nHaving joined the University of Bath to study architecture he transferred to civil & structural engineering after the first year\, having been inspired by industry greats such as the late Sir Ted Happold whose engineering history lectures demonstrated the wonderful opportunities for creativity and for bringing positive change as an engineer. At Bath within the nurturing and supportive environment that Mike Barnes led\, John learnt the art of the structural engineer and embraced the skills and potential for collaborative and interdisciplinary design culminating in him winning a design award for his elegant footbridge in a final year project open to architects and engineers. John started his career with Whitby Bird & Partners and has been fortunate to be mentored by inspirational and talented leaders and engineers at the practices he has worked at during his career to date. John joined BDP in 2008 as he saw the significant potential in a company that has its routes embedded in multidisciplinary collaboration and design quality. Now Chair of civil and structural engineering at BDP\, John uses collaboration as his guiding principle\, promoting that amid all the technological buzz\, it is still our relationships that drive the best project outcomes. \n  \n  \nSend me a sketch \n“Digital technology has transformed our industry\, but I think the best tool remains the humble pen or pencil. Sketching is just a brilliant way to think\, solve problems and collaborate. Working with people has been the most enjoyable aspect of my 30 plus year career to date. \n“To deliver buildings and infrastructure\, we first need to build strong relationships and I’m as proud of the friendships I’ve cultivated as I am with the structures I’ve designed. From undergraduate days at the University of Bath\, where talented individuals such as Mike Barnes and Paul McCombie took me under their wing to leading the engineering team at BDP today\, I could not have made the journey without people. \n“Having fun as part of the process is also something we should embrace as an industry. So\, I believe that amid all the technological buzz\, it is still our relationships that drive the best project outcomes.” \n  \nMilne Medal Dinner \nThe lecture will be followed by a dinner at Fare (11 Old Street\, London\, EC1V 9HL). All are welcome to discuss the lecture with John and other IABSE members.

SUMMARY:IABSE Annual Lecture
DESCRIPTION:The 2024 Annual Lecture will be given by Ted Zoli (HNTB)\, who is joining us from the USA. \nAdaptation and the practice of bridge design in North America\nAs bridge design practice continues to evolve\, it is useful to ask how well-adapted we are; and where change may be both necessary and wise. As bridges are somewhat unique in the built environment\, with the goal of connecting public investment with public good\, it is necessary that we do this regularly. Yet change happens slowly and incrementally. \nBoth change and status quo are not without risk. The weight of past practice\, established design codes and standards\, and an industry well-tuned to existing workflows are important barriers to consider. Aspects of adaptation and how it has influenced in the design of built bridges in North America will be discussed. The role of the designer\, and more importantly the built work\, as a mechanism for needed change will be highlighted. \n \nTed Zoli \nTed Zoli serves as the technical director of HNTB’s bridge practice. He has led the design of numerous innovative first-of-their kind bridges\, including the network arch Lake Champlain Bridge (NY\, VT); the gusset-less truss for Portsmouth Memorial Bridge (ME-NH); the hybrid cable stayed Leonard P. Zakim Bunker Hill Bridge (MA); the first major network arch in the country\, the Blennerhassett Island Bridge (WV-OH); and the first double curved cable stayed bridge in the U.S.\, the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge (NE-IA). Zoli also currently serves as an adjunct professor at Columbia University. In 2009\, Zoli was made a MacArthur Fellow; and in 2012\, he was selected as ENR’s Award of Excellence winner\, considered the U.S. construction industry’s most prestigious honour. \n  \n  \nDinner \nSponsored by Teufelberger-Redaelli \n \nImmediately following the Ted Zoli’s lecture\, join us for dinner aboard HMS Belfast and experience 1940’s life on board this restored cruiser. Welcome drinks will be served from 8pm\, followed by a superb seasonal 3-course dinner at 8.30pm in The Ship’s Company Dining Hall\, where you will be seated amongst the warship’s original features. \nYou will have the opportunity to explore the museum and watch the sunset on the Quarter Deck whilst enjoying views of London Bridge and Tower Bridge. \nHMS Belfast is a short walk from London Bridge Station.

SUMMARY:Webinar - Space House (by the Nethercot Prize Winner)
DESCRIPTION:Moderator: David Knight\, Chair\, British Group IABSE\, Cake Industries\, UK \nSpeaker: Livia Guimaraes\, Winner British Group Nethercot Prize 2023\, UK \nSpace House: a low-carbon reuse of a 1960’s icon \nSpace House is a low carbon adaptive re-use of a 1960’s Grade II* listed brutalist icon\, originally designed by Richard Siefert and Pell Frischmann. As the original designers we were able to revisit the innovative engineering of the time and\, through extensive desktop study and onsite investigations\, exploit existing structural opportunities adding significant value and adapting the structure to modern building standards. \nBy introducing a 2-story extension to the Tower and a rooftop pavilion structure to the Kingsway Block we were able to significantly increase office space without requiring any additional foundations. The project is set to enhance the Holborn area\, providing modern workspace\, retail facilities\, and public spaces – a true testament to a successful urban renewal story and sustainable design. \nSpeaker: Livia is a graduate structural engineer that is avidly passionate about architecture and sustainable design. Currently working at Pell Frischmann\, Livia has been involved in a variety of different projects ranging from residential new builds\, forensic investigations\, and mixed-use redevelopments. \nModerator: David Knight is the Chair of the IABSE British Group. \nPlease register for this webinar here: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_i1dhY9BbQRuKS7HUyj9q4Q#/registration

SUMMARY:Milne Medal Lecture 2023
DESCRIPTION:The Milne Medal is awarded to an individual engineer for excellence in structural design\, both in the overall concept and in the attention to detail in their work\, and is named in recognition of the late Bob Milne\, who served for many years as the Honorary Secretary of the IABSE British Group. This year\, we are delighted to award the Milne Medal to Simon Fryer of Buro Happold. \nSimon Fryer is Technical Director at Buro Happold and has 34 years’ experience in the design of international bridge projects.  Having started work with G. Maunsell and Partners in 1989\, he joined the fledgling bridge group at Buro Happold in 2001.  Throughout his career\, he has been involved in an extensive portfolio in terms of both scale and type within the bridge engineering sector.  He has detailed knowledge of the analysis and design of reinforced concrete\, pre-stressed concrete and steel structures.  Many of his projects have demanded design work based on first principles rather than routine application of codes and standards.  He has been responsible for project managing construction projects on site and has a particular interest in the structural design of aesthetically pleasing bridges. \nSimon will give his Milne Medal Lecture “Solving Problems for a Living” on the 16th November 2023 at the IStructE\, Bastwick Street\, London. \nSolving problems for a living \nIn the bridge field\, there are always obstacles to be crossed and challenges to be met. \nDesign and construction are inextricably linked.  There are many considerations and good engineering is not just about the big picture – attention to detail is also important and ingenuity can be applied at all levels. \nIn some cases\, new creative and innovative solutions are called for to overcome the site constraints. \nOn other occasions\, structural engineering skills can be applied to preserve existing infrastructure instead of replacing it. \nThis lecture will explain how some interesting problems were tackled\, with examples provided from the world of bridges and beyond. \nMilne Medal Dinner \nThe lecture will be followed by a dinner at Noci (Unit B\, The Bower\, 211 Old St\, London EC1V 9NR). All are welcome to discuss the lecture with Simon and other IABSE members. \nTickets for the lecture and dinner are available here:

SUMMARY:Annual Lecture and Dinner 2023
DESCRIPTION:Ben Addy – Moxon Architects\nThe IABSE British Group Annual Lecture 2023 will be given by Ben Addy of Moxon Architects. The lecture will be held at the IStructE headquarters. Join us to learn why “no-one should be interested in the design of bridges”. \nThe lecture will be followed by the IABSE British Group Annual Dinner\, which will take place at the Compton in Clerkenwell\, a short walk from the IStructE. \nTickets are available here: \n \nNo one should be interested in the design of bridges\nIn 20 years of practice\, architect Ben Addy has consistently returned to Cedric Price’s 1972 provocation: “No one should be interested in the design of bridges – they should be concerned with how to get to the other side.” \nToday\, in the context of climate change and the ecological crisis\, Ben Addy explains why the design of bridges is integral to the bigger picture. \nPresenting his working methodology through a wide range of Moxon Architects’ projects – from bridges and infrastructure to buildings and public space – Ben Addy explains how the principle of doing more with less informs all of his architecture and why an engineering sensibility is critical in addressing some of the challenges in today’s world. \nBen Addy\nBen Addy is the founding Director of Moxon Architects. He is an award winning architect with experience across sectors and particular expertise in projects involving the creation of new public infrastructure. Having established Moxon in 2004\, he has cultivated a reputation for technical achievement\, aesthetic versatility and an inquisitive\, collaborative design process.

SUMMARY:IABSE Milne Medal and Dinner 2022
DESCRIPTION:DATE POSTPONED UNTIL 29TH NOVEMBER\nThe Milne Medal is awarded to an individual engineer for excellence in structural design\, both in the overall concept and in the attention to detail in their work\, and is named in recognition of the late Bob Milne\, who served for many years as the Honorary Secretary of the IABSE British Group. This year\, we are delighted to award the Milne Medal to Paul Sanders of COWI. \nPaul Sanders has been working on bridges and other structures for more than 30 years. He has worked for COWI for the last 20 years where he has been heavily involved in design and build projects on a wide range of projects. He is passionate about building more for less and ensuring engineers draw expertise from all key stakeholders and that all parties have a voice. \nPaul will give his Milne Medal Lecture with the title “More for less” on 9th November 2022 at the IStructE\, Bastwick Street\, London. \nMore for Less \n“Engineers are facing ever increasing pressure to deliver more for less. There has long been pressure on costs and programme as direct metrics but recent years have seen a positive focus on an increasingly diverse range of other aspects\, not least carbon and design quality. The talk will explore projects where the boundaries have been pushed and discuss key drivers. Whilst\, as a profession we have responded\, we need to ask ourselves what the future looks like and how we position ourselves to deliver even more in the future.” \nTickets for the talk are available here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/iabse-milne-medal-tickets-419811416247 \n \nMilne Medal Dinner \nThe talk will be followed by the Milne Medal dinner at a local restaurant – all are welcome to attend.

SUMMARY:IABSE Annual Lecture 2022
DESCRIPTION:Tina Vejrum – Record Spans from Stonecutters to Canakkale\nThe IABSE British Group Annual Lecture 2022 will be given by Tina Vejrum\, President-elect of IABSE. The lecture will be held at the IStructE headquarters. Join us for an incredible insight into Tina’s work on cutting edge long span bridges. \nThe lecture will be followed by the IABSE British Group annual dinner that will take place on a boat cruise while the Thames River. A three-course meal and drinks will be served. \nTickets are available here: \n \nRecord Spans from Stonecutters to Canakkale\nConnecting people and communities with efficient infrastructure is a fundamental basis for ensuring the future prosperity and development of our societies. Respect for resources and environment\, as well as the assessment of the effects of climate change\, are important considerations in developing sustainable solutions. \nPresenting personal favourite bridges and using examples from her own career as a bridge engineer\, Tina’s talk will feature record bridges like Stonecutters in Hong Kong and the new world record\, the 2023m main span 1915 Çanakkale Bridge in Turkey which opened for traffic in March 2022. \nOn the Ferry Free E39 project in Norway\, the conditions are so challenging that technology from many different areas needs to be combined in innovative ways. One of the solutions to overcome constructing foundations on more than 500m of water depth is to adopt floating structures to support the roadway. \nDuring the presentation Tina will reflect on synergies between a career as a bridge engineer and being involved in the activities in IABSE. \nDr. Tina Vejrum\nDr Tina Vejrum is Vice President in COWI responsible for major international bridge projects. Starting her career as a structural engineer on the Great Belt Fixed Link in Denmark\, she has been involved in major bridge projects all over the world. A highlight in Tina’s career as a bridge engineer is the record span Stonecutters Bridge in Hong Kong – a project she worked on for 10 years from the design competition through detailed design and concluding with three years on site during construction. Today she is heading COWI’s international team of bridge designers working on some of the largest and most complex bridges in the world. \nIn addition\, Tina is active in a number of professional associations. Notably the International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering (IABSE) with over 2\,800 members in more than 100 countries where she currently the President-Elect.

SUMMARY:Milne Medal Lecture 2021
DESCRIPTION:The Milne Medal is awarded to an individual engineer for excellence in structural design\, both in the overall concept and in the attention to detail in their work\, and is named in recognition of the late Bob Milne\, who served for many years as the Honorary Secretary of the IABSE British Group. \nThis year\, we are delighted to award the Milne Medal to Margaret Cooke of Integral Engineering Design\, who’s lecture “Less is More” will be broadcast online on the 9th November. \nAs we head towards 2050 we need to build less and re-use more. This requires a fundamental shift in how we work\, in the training of engineers\, in clever use of existing buildings\, materials and components. We will also need to change the way we value our work: how do we articulate our worth when no repair or change is necessary? How do we persuade clients that it takes courage and real expertise to say that an existing structure has sufficient integrity? \nMargaret Cooke has been working with existing buildings for nearly 30 years and is Conservation Accredited. She is one of the founding Directors of Integral Engineering Design where the worlds of new build\, conservation\, reuse and sustainability are inextricably linked. She is a passionate advocate of the “minimum intervention” approach to engineering. \nThe lecture will be on Zoom; joining details will be made available closer to the event.
