IABSE National Groups—Activities Around the World.

Highlights from the article: On 4 May 2019, the Philippine Group of IABSE celebrated IABSE's 90th anniversary by conducting an Information Forum on " I IABSE's Outstanding Structure (OStrA) Awardees and Finalists i ", with highlights on the innovations and significance of each bridge and building structure, with members and non-members. Rey Singh and Wennie Oclarino presented an overview of post-tensioning, post-tensioned flat slabs, transfer plates, post-tensioned mat foundations and prefabricated prefinished volumetric construction (PPVC) technologies to illustrate different technologies and construction schemes for high-rise buildings. In the two days of the Conference, 13 main lectures were given by prominent Brazilian and foreign specialists in the field of construction and design of bridges and other structures. Those members with particular knowledge of the bridges and some of the notable buildings on each side were available to provide commentary for those who wanted to know more about their design and construction, but as so often on these occasions it was the social and professional networking and camaraderie that proved more stimulating for most.
