LUSAS is pleased to
announce that a free seminar covering "Recommendations
for Finite Element Analysis of Bridges" will
take place on 13 November 2012 at Graduate House adjacent to the
University of Melbourne, Australia.
This event will give engineers, scientists, researchers and
students a broad insight into the latest techniques and methods available
to model and analyse a range of bridge types with particular reference to
LUSAS Bridge analysis software.
Organisation
This seminar is organised by:
- Mr
Stewart Morrison, Australia and New Zealand Regional Manager,
LUSAS.
- Mr
Julian Moses, Principal Bridge Engineer, LUSAS.
