The workshop is supported by the UK Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) [grant number EP/R039178/1]: SPINE: Resilience-Based Design of Biologically Inspired Columns for Next-Generation Accelerated Bridge Construction.

The main focus of this workshop will be on recent advances in the design, fabrication, construction, inspection, and accelerated bridge construction. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Accelerated bridge construction (ABC)• Sustainability and resilience-based design and construction of bridges• Application of composite and smart materials in bridge construction• Robotic bridge repair and construction• Robotic/autonomous inspection including NDT methods• Off-site manufacturing• Nonlinear dynamics and seismic performance of ABC bridges• Application of ABC bridges for High-Speed and Ultra-High-Speed Trains

Attendance to the Workshop is free. There will be a Workshop Dinner on the evening of Wednesday 15th July. There is no charge but there is a very limited number of places. If you would like to attend please register for that separately at http://go.soton.ac.uk/bv0
