Hosted by Lehigh University’s ATLSS Engineering Research Center and the International Association for Bridge Maintenance and Safety (IABMAS), this year’s IABMAS conference will be held at the Loews Hotel in Philadelphia from July 11-15. The conference centers around subjects including bridge repair and rehabilitation issues; bridge management systems; needs of bridge owners such as financial planning, whole life costing, and investment for the future; bridge-related safety and risk issues; and economic and other implications. The goal of IABMAS is “to promote international cooperation in the fields of bridge maintenance, safety, and management for the purpose of enhancing the welfare of society,” according to its website.

Also at the conference will be an awards ceremony, presenting four awards to professionals with achievements in the areas of bridge management, safety, management, assessment or life-cycle cost.
