EASEC-8, Singapore, 5-7 December 2001
Economic growth goes hand in hand with infrastructure development. Even though the East Asia-Pacific region has been growing remarkably in the last few decades, its growth potential is expected to generate even more economic and infrastructure development in the new millennium. At the same time, with the increasing awareness of the limited availability of resources and the fragility of the environment, structural and construction engineers have to examine more carefully the impact of these considerations on infrastructure construction.
Information Technology (IT) is revolutionising how things are done and the pace of development in this field is expected to increase exponentially. The effect of IT is another of the many new challenges that the structural and construction engineers will face in the new millennium.
EASEC-8, like the past EASEC conferences, will continue to provide the opportunity for structural and construction engineers to share and exchange knowledge on new discoveries and problem-solving. It is also to promote better co-operation and mutual understanding so that new challenges in the 21st century can be taken on together by all concerned.
