Preface
Preparation for the 2011 Structures Congress required significant time and effort from the
members of the Local Planning Committee, the National Technical Program Committee,
and the staff at SEI. Therefore, much of the success of the conference is a reflection of the
level of effort by this group of volunteers.

The committee would like to acknowledge the critical support of the sponsors, exhibitors,
presenters, and participants who contributed to the success of the conference through their
participation.

The Structures Congress technical program consists of over 100 concurrent technical
sessions on topics that are redefining structural engineering in the areas of bridge and
transportation structures, buildings, strategies for today’s global economy and advances in
research. The CASE Spring Risk Management Convocation and the Forensic Specialty
Track supplement the Congress. All of these help enforce networking, interacting and
forming partnerships with our structural peers.

Sharing in the success of the 2011 Structures Congress are our cooperating organizations,
CASE, SEAOC, SEASoN, ACI, Las Vegas Chapter, ACEC Nevada, Southern Nevada
Post Society of American Military Engineers, ASCE San Francisco Section, ASCE Los
Angeles Section, ATC and ASCE Southern Nevada Branch.

On behalf of our dedicated volunteers and SEI staff, we would like to thank you for
spending your valuable time attending the 2011 Structures Congress. It is our hope that
you and your colleagues will benefit greatly from the information provided and make
professional connections that lasts for years. By increasing communication skills, helping
the practicing engineer expand his or her knowledge, leadership, and influence, we believe
that delegates will learn how to excel in this new and exciting environment.
