There are new advances made in the recent years on design and construction of steel-concrete composite structural systems in building and infrastructural work. It is important for researchers and practitioners to know these advances in view of the huge opportunity of infrastructure construction in Singapore and Asia Pacific Region in the coming decades.
This workshop is organised for the 5th time in response to the favourable feedback in 2019, and is also developed as a follow0up to our popular Workshop on Geology of Singapore. It aims to provide a link between the knowledge of geology and its engineering applications in underground construction and rock cavern space development. It will present and discuss systematically the fundamentals of engineering geology and best practices both internationally and within the context of Singapore.

The fourth run of the Symposium on Innovation and Challenges in Asian Tunnelling (SICAT) is organised together with industry partners from China, Japan and Korea. It aims to share valuable experiences gained from recent underground infrastructure projects across the 4 countries
One major advantage of composite bridges compared to concrete bridges is that the steel girders can carry the weight of the formwork and the wet concrete. Another advantage is the savings in construction time, which saves some money for the contractor but even more so for the road users, a fact that usually is neglected when evaluating alternative bridge designs. A further step to improve the competitiveness of composite bridges is to prefabricate not only the steel girders, but also the concrete deck. Collin will present a unique concept with dry joints between the elements, used on designing 3 bridges.
The purpose of this short course is to provide a comprehensive background to certain contemporary practices in design and construction of tunnels and underground structures.
