ICE West Midlands Coventry and Warwickshire Branch: standard material or material standard?

Overview

Join the ICE West Midlands Coventry and Warwickshire Branch for a presentation on the developing standards for fibre polymer composite and bamboo, emphasising on the challenges and opportunities of integrating nonconventional materials into the construction industry.

Hear from Kent Harries, Professor of structural engineering and mechanics at the University of Pittsburgh for a talk on the challenges and opportunities of integrating nonconventional materials into the highly regulated construction environment.

Case studies are taken from the speaker’s experience with fibre reinforced polymers (FRP), now achieving mainstream recognition in the construction industry and bamboo materials.
