Call for Abstracts

The Connecticut Chapter of ASCE Structural Engineering Institute (SEI-CT) solicits presentations and invites abstract submissions for the 2024 SEI-CT Seminar to be held at MDC Operations Facility & Training Center in Hartford, CT on October 10th, Thursday.

For each of the last three years events (2021-2023), SEI-CT had invited speakers on a specific topic.  For this year's event, SEI-CT requests practitioners, educators, and vendors submit practice/research projects within a wide range of structural engineering topics for a 45-min in-person presentation followed by 15-min Q&A.  Emphasis should be placed on the practical solutions and/or applicability.  The deadline for the submittal of abstracts of 250-500 words with a photo via email to both [email protected] and [email protected] has been extended to July 31st.  SEI-CT is requesting only presentations, not publishable papers for this event.  For additional information on submissions or other technical questions, please email to [email protected]. Suggested topics include:

• What structural engineers do
• Innovative topics like AI
• Actual projects' challenges and how they were resolved, i.e., I-90 extension to Logan Airport under the rail lines and Fort Point Channel
• A discussion of structures-adjacent topics: hydraulics, permitting, HVAC, etc. Essentially, what should structural engineers be considering more fully as designs are developed?
• Issues during construction of structures...lessons learned from construction engineers and Construction Engineering & Inspection (CEI)
• Wind, flood and earthquake loads
• Application of building codes.
• Sustainability in Structural Engineering
