The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) conference "Steel Bridges: Emerging Technologies with Emphasis on High Performance Steel" will be held December 12-13, 2002 in Salt Lake City, Utah. The focus of this conference is on the design, fabrication, construction and research issues related to steel bridges. This conference will represent the second major FHWA undertaking to transfer the latest developments in the field of steel bridges to bridge engineers. In the first conference that was held in Baltimore, MD (November 2000), more than 400 bridge engineers, including twenty State Bridges Engineers were present. Similar participation is expected for the Salt Lake City conference.

Authors are encouraged to submit a one page abstract related to various aspects of steel bridges including, research, design, fabrication, construction, seismic issues and case studies. A panel consisting of Engineers, Researchers and Academicians will select the abstracts to be presented in the conference. The selected abstracts will be divided into two categories: Oral Presentation at the conference and Poster Presentation during a designated time in the conference. The authors of selected abstracts will be invited to submit a paper, which after peer review will appear in the conference proceedings. The deadline for receiving the abstracts is November 20, 2001. Interested authors should fax their abstracts to Dr. Atorod Azizinamini at 402-472-6658 or e-mail it to aazizi@unl.edu. For more information call 402-472-3462 or contact Mr. John Hooks (202-366-6712) or Mr. Vasant Mistry (202-366-4599) of FHWA.
