NDT/NDE for Highways and Bridges; Structural Materials Technology
Call for Papers Ends February 3

ASNT, ASCE (SEI. AEI and EMI), and NYSDOT, among others, are co-sponsoring SMT 2012 Conference: NDT/NDE for Highways and Bridges: Structural Materials Technology and invite abstracts for presentation at the conference. This conference will be held in the New York LaGuardia Airport Marriott near New York City on August 21-24, 2012. The goal of this conference is to promote the exchange of information between national and international researchers, practitioners and infrastructure owners on the application of Nondestructive Evaluation (NDE) and Nondestructive Testing (NDT) technologies for the condition assessment of highway infrastructure. Contributions focused on field applications, case studies, technology implementation, applied research, and practical experience are invited. Through technical presentations and exhibits, infrastructure owners, transportation officials, researchers, consultants, and contractors will be exposed to the state-of-the-practice in NDE methods. In addition, participants will have the opportunities to discuss urgent problems faced by civil infrastructure owners and the potential solutions utilizing available emerging NDE technologies.
Plans are also underway to host a workshop “Use of Remote Sensing for Infrastructure Management” as part of the conference activities on August 24th.

For more information on the conference, abstract submission instructions, and exhibitor information, please visit the Conference Website.

If you have any questions, contact the Program Chair, Dr. Sreenivas Alampalli of New York State Department of Transportation.

In today’s challenging economy, precast concrete continues to grow as the material of choice for transportation, commercial, institutional, manufacturing, parking, residential and many other types of structures. The PCI Convention and National Bridge Conference is the premier international venue for the exchange of ideas and state-of-the-art information on precast concrete design, fabrication, and construction. On average, approximately 1000 engineers, precast producers, contractors, architects, suppliers, academics, researchers, officials, and students attend each year. The event provides an outstanding opportunity for networking, education, and sharing of ideas. Abstracts may be submitted for peer-reviewed papers sessions or student posters.

All abstracts, papers and student posters must relate to the design, analysis, materials, production, erection, or to maintenance and repair of precast concrete. Case studies, research and project profiles are all welcome.

Visit the PCI website to learn more about submitting your abstract.
