The Role of Advanced Technologies in Structural Engineering for More Resilient Communities

September 26, 2017
Beckman Center
Irvine, CA

Purpose: This workshop will bring together researchers, experts, practitioners, and noted leaders to explore the role of innovative technologies and smart infrastructure in building more resilient and sustainable communities; including:

How can advanced technologies and structural performance data in structural engineering support the design of infrastructure and built systems that enhance resilience and promote faster recovery?
What are today’s most promising innovations in technology and how are communities benefiting?
What is the future role of advanced technologies and design practice—what does a resilient city’s built infrastructure look like in the future?
What are the research gaps or opportunities in development and use of advance technologies and design for building resilient infrastructure?

8:30 – 8:40 am	Welcome and Introductions
8:30 – 8:40 am	Dr. Lauren Alexander Augustine, Director, Program on Risk, Resilience, and Extreme Events, National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine
8:40 – 9:00 am	Setting the Stage: From Resilient Infrastructure to Resilient Communities: How Can Emerging Technologies Support Community Efforts to Become More Resilient?
8:40 – 9:00 am	Chris Poland, Consulting Engineer
9:00-10:15 am	Enabling Community Resilience: Innovative Technologies in the Built Environment
