IABSE’s technical Commissions and their Task Groups provide opportunities to exchange knowledge & professional expertise with international peers. These Commissions cover the stages within the life-cycle of any structure:
- Problems related to structural performance and safety of civil engineering structures and requirements to be established for structural performance, both in design phase and beyond.
- Enhancement of design and assessment strategies for all kinds of civil engineering structures, including support for decision-making
- Holistic understanding of design processes, including social as well as technical, functional and aesthetical aspects, for any type of structure
- Promotion of the value of good design in achieving highest quality legacy of infrastructure and built environment for the future
- Problems and progress related to structural analysis and evaluation of any type of structure
- Exchange of knowledge and experiences among worldwide practitioners
- Activities contributing to deeper understanding and best practices in construction methods and processes for all structures
- Development & enhancement of methods and tools for economically efficient, environment-friendly, and socially reconcilable decision-making process for any type of existing structure
- Supports technical activities in structure management, from concepts, methods to data processing
- Provision of guidance towards sustainable development in structural engineering, both from theoretical and practical aspects
- Development of sustainability aspects, including framework, design, disaster prevention & control, construction & maintenance, demolition & function expansion, new materials and value protection.
