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. Tickets are £40 for those under 35 and £75 otherwise. \nTickets and more details can be found here: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/iabse-milne-medal-dinner-2022-tickets-439922107867

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.

SUMMARY:IABSE Annual Lecture 2019 and Thames Boat Tour
DESCRIPTION:Description\nThis Year’s IABSE Annual Lecture is a special one; we’ll firstly be treated to a Lecture by Guy Nordenson\, entitled “What We Do”\, followed by dinner aboard a boat on the Thames! \n“What We Do”\, Guy Nordenson \n“This then is the engineer’s principal destructive weakness\, to play Iago to the architect\, or indeed to another engineer\, Othello.” – Peter Rice 1992 \nThe role of the structural engineer today bears similarities to that diagnosed by Peter Rice near the end of his far too brief career\, but it has also changed. Since the early 1990s with the emergence of the World Wide Web and the digital transformation of work and play\, we have seen engineers from Bill Gates to Mark Zuckerberg disrupt commerce and culture. \nThese are today’s equivalents of the Victorian entrepreneur-engineers Isambard Brunel and Gustave Eiffel. \nThe necessary adaptation of our planet to the changing climate – regardless of even the most radical future mitigation measures – will require physical transformations comparable in scale to the recent digital revolution\, and the earlier Industrial Revolution. It is clear that engineers will need to play a leading role in that adaptation revolution\, and not that of Iago or Othello. \nGuy Nordenson is a structural engineer and professor at Princeton University. Recent projects include the Kimbell Art Museum\, the Menil Drawing Center and the National Museum of African American History and Culture. Since 2008 he has led research projects on coastal resilience and climate adaptation and co-written three books on the subject: On the Water|Palisade Bay (2010)\, Structures of Coastal Resilience (2018) and Four Corridors (2019). Nordenson has co-curated exhibitions at The Museum of Modern Art including “Tall Building” (2004) and “Rising Currents” (2010) and published Tall Buildings (2003)\, The Felix Candela Lectures (MoMA 2008) and Structured Lineages: Learning from Japanese Structural Design (2019). He was awarded the AIA’s Institute Honors for Collaborative Achievement Award\, was Bernoudy Fellow at the American Academy in Rome and is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.

SUMMARY:IABSE Visits - Clifton Suspension Bridge Tour
DESCRIPTION:The British Group of IABSE is organising an afternoon tour of Clifton Suspension Bridge\, which will be led by the Bridgemaster Trish Johnson and John Rees of COWI. Delegates will learn how the difficult balance of preserving the bridge’s heritage whilst maintaining current functional and maintenance standards has been achieved on this awe-inspiring bridge across the Avon Gorge\, designed by I.K. Brunel and completed in 1864. The visit will proceed from the Visitor Centre on the Leigh Woods side of the bridge\, cross the bridge to the Clifton side and then back to the hidden chambers in the Leigh Woods abutment. \nThe Bridgemaster very rarely conducts tours as a matter of course and only in special circumstances. In leading the tour she will be joined by John Rees\, who is Project Director for COWI’s long-term commission as Engineer to the Clifton Suspension Bridge Trust. In their capacity as ‘tour guides’ they are able to provide delegates with unique engineering insight that is not available to the public. \nIABSE British Group are grateful to the Bridgemaster Trish Johnson and John Rees of COWI for generously giving their time to act as tour guides for this visit. Further details on the tickets for the visit are available here.

SUMMARY:IStructE: Conceptual Design of Bridges
DESCRIPTION:British Group chair Ian Firth (COWI) and IABSE member Martin Knight (Knight Architects) will be running a two day course on the conceptual design of bridges. The course helps engineers gain an appreciation of the process of conceptual design for bridges\, in terms of both selecting a structural form to suit the constraints of a site and arranging materials and components to meet the demands of the structure in an elegant and logical way. \nThe course is aimed at all levels\, from technician through to senior engineer/director level. \nFor further details\, and to book a place on the course\, please visit the IStructE website. \nhttps://www.istructe.org/events/hq/2019/april-2019/conceptual-design-of-bridges

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.
