Construction Methods and Processes
Objectives
Commission 4 organizes and promotes activities contributing to deeper understanding and best practices in construction methods and processes for any type of structure.
Field of Activity
At the initial phase, Commission 4 works on the development of a set of guidelines for best practice solely on bridge construction, through specifically assigned Task Groups. In the future, the activities of the commission will develop to consider constructional aspects of other structural types.
In view of the interrelationship and inter-dependencies of Commission 4's field of work with the areas covered by the other commissions, liaisons will be key to accomplishing its objectives.
Possible interaction with other organizations outside IABSE, such as ICPMA (International Construction Project Management Association) and IAARC (International Association for Automation and Robotics in Construction), may be explored going forward.
