IABSE Congress Ghent 2021 - Structural Engineering for Future Societal Needs
Message from the President
The International Association for Bridge and Structural Engineering
(IABSE) is a scientific/technical Association comprising members of
almost 100 countries and counting 58 National Groups. The aim of the
Association is to exchange knowledge and to advance the practice of
structural engineering worldwide in the service of the profession and
society. Founded in 1929, IABSE hosted a series of Congresses every
four years from 1932 to 2016 and every year from 2019 onwards. The
IABSE Congress 2021 was planned to be held in Ghent, Belgium, but
due the pandemic, it is now an online event taking place on the
originally planned days from 22 to 24 September 2021.
The theme of the Congress is “Structural Engineering for Future Yaojun Ge
Societal Needs”, comprising building and maintaining safe and reliable
buildings and infrastructures under the effects of climate change in a world with scarcer
resources and the ambition to reduce mankind’s CO2 footprint. Future Societal Needs can be
divided into three parts, Structural Safety and Reliability with Respect to Climate Change,
Circularity, Re-use and Sustainability of Structures and Emission Free Building of Structures.
This IABSE Congress is organised by the Belgian and Dutch Groups of IABSE in co-operation with
Ghent University. Both National Groups are among the earliest IABSE Groups and are very
active and productive. This Congress is, respectively, the first and eighth international IABSE
event hosted in the BENELUX since the successful IABSE Conference 2013 in Rotterdam and the
third IABSE Congress 1948 in Liege. I wish to express my special thanks and compliment the
Organising Committee and the Scientific Committee, for excellently mastering the preparations
of this promising event under the difficult circumstances of the past year and months.
I look forward to meeting you online and to exchange the latest knowledge in structural
engineering.
Yaojun Ge, President of IABSE

IABSE Congress Ghent 2021 - Structural Engineering for Future Societal Needs
Message from the Organising Committee
The Organising Committee is pleased that the IABSE Congress
Ghent 2021 can be held from 22 to 24 September 2021. Originally
planned as a hybrid Congress, partly on site and partly online, the
Organising Committee had to take the difficult decision end of May
2021 to change the Congress into an online event, due to the
uncertainty associated with the Covid-19 pandemic. The Congress is
organised by the Belgian and Dutch Groups of IABSE in co-operation
with Ghent University.
Hans De Backer
Due to the unpredictable situation of the Covid-19 pandemic, travel
bans, and the fear to travel factor, the Organising Committee of the
IABSE Congress Ghent 2021, on recommendation of the
Administrative Committee of IABSE, decided to change the format
of the Congress into an entirely online event for the safety of IABSE
members and Congress participants.
This has been a very difficult decision, since we have tried our best
to become the first “normal” IABSE event after the Covid- 19
pandemic. However, it was not meant to be. But the good news is
that the quality of the technical programme did not suffer from this, Bert Hesselink
that the authors of many interesting papers remained very supportive, that our sponsors showed
their understanding, so that we can have a fantastic online Congress, simulating the actual
conference experience as much as possible.
This entire trajectory has been a very difficult experience for all of us. Still, as organisers, we feel
strengthened by the number and quality of contributions we have received and by the reactions of
everybody involved in the organisation. We look forward to interacting with all participants during
the Congress and hope that there will be new opportunities to really meet in person, once Covid-19
is truly behind us.

IABSE Congress Ghent 2021 - Structural Engineering for Future Societal Needs
Message from the Scientific Committee
The Scientific Committee of the IABSE Congress Ghent 2021 is pleased to offer the structural
engineering community an interesting technical programme to discuss and contribute to the theme
‘Structural Engineering for Future Societal Needs’. Future societal needs comprise building and
maintaining safe and reliable buildings and infrastructures while coping with the effects of climate
change in a world with scarcer resources and satisfying the ambition to reduce mankind’s CO2
footprint. Sub-themes are therefore amongst others:
• Structural safety and reliability with respect to climate change
• Circularity, re-use and sustainability of structures
• Emission free building of structures
Our call for sub-themes resulted in four interesting special sub-
themes connected to the main Congress theme:
• Enhancing resilience of civil infrastructure to hurricane and
thunderstorm hazards under changing climate
• Structural bearings and anti-seismic devices: innovation, Bert Snijder
standards and testing requirements
• Towards extending the service life of existing concrete
infrastructure through advanced assessment methods
• Concepts and methods for the performance assessment of
existing structures
Besides these sub-themes, also the following ones are part of the
programme: All types of bridges, Large span structures, Light-weight
structures, High-rise buildings, All structural materials, Structural
health monitoring, Design for earthquakes, Case studies, Failures and Bart De Pauw
forensic engineering, Strengthening and retrofitting, Dynamics of
structures, Innovative structures, Fatigue and fracture, Structural analysis and optimisation,
Parametric design, Structural behaviour under fire conditions, Soil-structure Interaction, Exceptional
loads on structures, Safety, reliability and risk, Architecture of structures, Additive manufacturing.
The Congress takes place online and all papers are presented orally, either pre-recorded or live,
with discussion afterwards. All written papers submitted were peer-reviewed by the Scientific
Committee. Apart from the opening session containing one keynote presentation, a keynote
session containing two keynote presentations and the closing session containing one keynote
presentation, there are normal parallel sessions and a Pecha Kucha session. To accommodate
all sessions and speakers, parallel sessions run online in 8 breakout rooms on the three main
Congress days. Keynote Speakers introduce relevant topics to the Congress theme and/or give
a state-of-the-art overview on these topics. We are pleased that four esteemed Keynote
Speakers have confirmed to contribute to our Congress (see page 17 of this programme).
The technical programme has attracted all those involved and interested in the state of the art
and the future of bridge and structural engineering. We received just over 400 abstracts which
resulted in about 270 papers to be presented. We can present an interesting technical
programme and invite you to contribute to this IABSE Congress and join us online.

Bridge Drainage
Globally, climate change is affecting nature, people and the
environment. The difference between drought and extreme
precipitation is increasing. In addition, the world's population is increasing, causing traffic intensity
to rise.
Because of these developments, the need for a higher drainage capacity on roads is growing, so that
extreme precipitation can be drained away quickly and thus safety can be guaranteed.
Bridge Drainage, as a supplier of drainage products and as an advisor, strives to drain rainwater from
the bridge gradually and quickly, thereby increasing safety. At the same time Bridge Drainage wants
to save the environment as much as possible.
The activities consist of engineering and consultancy, supervision of the installation and supply of
innovative and sustainable drainage solutions. Bridge Drainage thinks along with the customer,
supplying drainage for bridges worldwide.
By using less harmful plastics such as PE and PP, and also working with products made from 70%
recycled plastic, Bridge Drainage contributes to a positive environmental goal.
Returning rainwater to nature as cleanly and gradually as possible, at the place where it falls, in the
most environmentally friendly way possible, is the most ideal situation!

General Information
The Congress
The IABSE Congress Ghent 2021 is a large international structural engineering conference
bringing together scientists, students, designers, contractors, owners and experts from
international organisations around the world. The Congress serves as an important event for
stimulating industry discussion, exchange of cutting-edge knowledge and networking. IABSE’s
aim as a technical society is to promote the advancement of structural engineering practice
while considering technical, economic, environmental, aesthetic and social aspects. IABSE
Congresses are annual events held each September and hosted in all parts of the world. The 3-
day format of the technical Congress usually follows 2-days of the association’s Annual
Meetings. However, due to the Covid19 pandemic, the Annual Meetings will not precede the
Congress this year.
Congress Proceedings
The Congress proceedings are available in electronic format (ePDF) at the beginning of the
Congress. IABSE Conference and Congress Reports are abstracted and indexed under
Scopus. We are delighted to have received about 270 paper submissions. All those that register
for the online Congress have access to the full proceedings.
Online Event
The Platform
The Congress is broadcasted using the OnAIR platform, providing a powerful environment for
integrating online presentations, breakout sessions, networking, 1:1 meetings and
interactivity. Congress participants are provided with a personal dedicated login link to enter
the Congress, allowing for a personal and secure user experience throughout the online live
event. Congress participants can access all sessions from one place, connect with each other,
with presenters and with exhibitors.
Presentations
Keynotes, panel discussions, breakouts and any other sessions are delivered as live or pre-
recorded presentations. Sessions are interactive and allow all Congress participants to
participate and engage. All authors, also those who have delivered a pre-recorded presentation
due to technical reasons, are asked to attend the live Q&A. All presentations remain available
on the platform so Congress participants can re-watch or check other parallel sessions they did
not attend live.
Manuals
Dedicated manuals are available for authors and Congress participants.
Young Engineers Best Paper Awards
Two papers submitted by Young Engineers (< 35 years) receive an award. The prizes are
awarded to those papers, which largely meet the following characteristics:
• Originality: Is the topic a new type of research or structure, or does it build on preceding
knowledge?
• Validation: Is the methodology fully substantiated?
• Absoluteness: Does the contribution allow discussion and do the authors recognize
limitations and possible flaws?
• Presentation: How was the content presented and was an open discussion reached?
Prizes are awarded during the closing session. The Scientific Committee appointed the
following jury members, who will endeavour to reach a clear consensus:
• Shunichi Nakamura, Tokaj University, Japan
13IABSE Congress Ghent 2021 - Structural Engineering for Future Societal Needs

Luc Hellemans, Lantis (BE)
Title: Oosterweel – from an underground and even underwater road infrastructure plan to an
urban transformation project
With over 25 years of professional experience in engineering, Luc
Hellemans has spent more than half of it at Arcadis. He held
several functions and was the CEO of Arcadis Belgium (2012-2015)
and also of Italy, France and Spain as CEO of Europe South (2015-
2017). Yet three distinguished threads run through his career and
come together in his role as CEO of Lantis: public infrastructure,
large, complex projects, and his hometown area Antwerp
(Belgium). With the Oosterweel project, Luc is facing Belgium’s
biggest and most challenging infrastructure project of the century,
matching industrial and economic needs with enhanced quality of
life, spatial planning, and environmental benefits.
