a.concept '08:
Convention on Concrete Engineering Practice and Technology
in association with Philippine Institute of Civil Engineers (PICE)
May 22-23, 2008 at
University of Makati, J.P. Rizal Extension, West Rembo, Makati City
The Association of Structural Engineers of the Philippines, Inc. (ASEP) in association with thePhilippine Institute of Civil Engineers (PICE) is holding the CONvention on Concrete Engineering Practice and Technology 2008 dubbed
a.concept '08. Ever since PICE and ASEP organized the conference on Concrete Art, Science and Technology in 1998 or CAST ’98, no similar conference dealing solely with the state of the practice of concrete design and construction was held. Since then, a lot of development on the design and construction of concrete structures have taken place. Consequently, various stakeholders in the construction industry are facing with an enormous challenges of providing safe, economical and quality concrete design and construction due to continuous demands for high rise reinforced concrete buildings, long span concrete bridges, durable concrete pavement to accommodate increased traffic volume, and affordable housing projects, among others. It was deemed necessary then for ASEP to hold a convention that would provide all the stakeholders – the engineers, manufacturers, suppliers, constructors, researchers and academicians - a venue where ideas, new technology, various trends in concrete design and construction are presented and discussed.
a.concept '08 would be an excellent forum for various issues related to concrete design and construction and the organizers would like to expound through a question - “What’s cracking in our concrete?”- a colloquial way of asking : What’s new?, What’s happening to our concrete?.
a.concept ‘08 therefore promises to be as exciting and as technically full-packed convention and the organizers would like the participants of this convention to be much more technically equipped to respond confidently to that question by “Assuring Safe and Economical Concrete Design Through Sound Engineering Practice”.
The Convention is composed of keynote presentations, plenary sessions, organized special sessions, parallel sessions, continuing professional education lectures, exhibits and poster presentations.

Concrete Design and Construction

----------
2nd Struct-Whiz Challenge
ASEP will be holding its 2nd Student Structural Engineering Contest.
The contest aims to :
- develop the awareness of the students in structural engineering;
- and further enhance their knowledge as they choose structural engineering as their field of specialization;
- provide an avenue by which civil engineering student can show case what they have learned in school;
- stimulate competitiveness and critical thinking.
The elimination round will be held on May 21, 2008 at the National Irrigation Administration, EDSA, Quezon Cityand the final round will be held on May 23, 2008 in conjunction with a.concept 08 .
In this regard, we are all inviting universities to join this event.
A 300.00 registration fee will be charged to participating students.
A maximum of five (5) contestants will be allowed per college / university.
Thank you very very much and we hope you will join this event.
