THE AIMS OF SEWC 2011

The Structural Engineers World Congress [SEWC] is an international conference with worldwide participation by structural engineers.The founding associations are:ACI – ASCE – IASS – JSCA – NCSEA – SEAOC.The primary purpose of SEWC2011 is to focus on the overall practice of structural engineering for both the technical and the theoretical aspects, including materials, actions, design, construction, research and tests.The conference will be focused on a world-wide exchange of structural engineering experiences, and on the cooperation with the architects, under the common effort towards holistic and sustainable constructions.

THE DATE

The date of the Congress is from Monday April 4th to Wednesday April 6th 2011 An optional cultural walking tour to the buildings designed by Terragni in the thirties and to the projects dreamed by Santelia in the twenties will be organized in Como on Thursday April 7th.

THE VENUE - Villa Erba (Como - Cernobbio)

The recently built Villa Erba convention and exhibition facilities are located in a park on the shore of the well renowned Lario lake.A forty minute walk or a ten minute ride on city buses or ferries is necessary to reach Villa Erba from Como center.The trip from the Milano Malpensa intercontinental airport to Como requires a train change in Saronno and an hour time.Two railways lines, (one regional and one international from Switzerland and Germany) connect the city to Milano in a 45 minute travel time.The exit Como Nord of the A9 highway is convenient for people travelling by car.

THE THEMES

The themes are assigned according to the attached schedules of the sessions.

THE ADDITIONAL CONFERENCES

The ASSISi (Antiseismic Systems International Society) seminar will take place on April 6th. (*)The yearly seminar Bridge-Italy and the Sino-Italian workshop will be held also on April 6th. (*)(*) See details for this one day registration
