Technical Activities Division (TAD)
The Technical Activities Division is made up of SEI's technical committees
which are concerned with a variety of Structural Engineering issues. These committees
develop technical publications, technical sessions for conferences, specialty
conferences, provide articles for journals, manuals of practice, committee reports and more.
Purpose:
Advance the science of structural design by increasing the knowledge
of the physical properties of engineering materials, developing methods
of analysis, studying the relative merits of various types of structures
and methods of fabricating, and disseminating knowledge relating to this
division of the engineering profession.
