The Pacific Structural Steel Conference is a major initiative bringing together expertise in structural steel research, education and construction from all around the Pacific Rim and beyond to promote cooperation among the structural steel associations and communication on development in the field of steel structures in Pacific countries. It was originated in 1986 when the New Zealand Heavy Engineering Research Association organized the inaugural conference.
Since then the PSSC has been scheduled to be held every three years, the importance of which as a forum for technological discussion and inter-change was especially recognized and nurtured by the booming Asian-Pacific economies. The 2nd PSSC was held in Gold Coast, Australia in 1989; the 3rd one in Tokyo, Japan in 1992; the 4th PSSC in Singapore in 1995 while the next one was held in Korea in 1998. After the conference 2001 in China and 2004 in America , the PSSC returned to its land of origin in 2007.
Excitingly, the PSSC will be held in Beijing in October 2010 with the administration of China Steel Construction Society. We are looking forward to seeing you and share shining ideas with all the friends. |
