This webinar aims to expand participants' knowledge on the basics of the design and construction of prestressed concrete (PC) bridges in Japan. The presentation showcases the outline of the Japanese infrastructure and the conceptual thinking behind the construction of a PC balanced cantilever bridge. The speaker will explain prestressed concrete and introduce the design concepts that are considered by the different stakeholders to assist them in determining appropriate solutions for substructures and superstructures of a PC bridge. Through this webinar, you will also get an experience of an online site visit to a bridge construction site in Japan. Additionally, new technologies used for bridge construction and the future vision of the industry will be featured.

The fib, Fédération internationale du béton, is a not-for-profit association formed by 41 national member groups in 104 countries and approximately 1000 corporate and individual members. The fib’s mission is to develop at an international level the study of scientific and practical matters capable of advancing the technical, economic, aesthetic and environmental performance of concrete construction.
The knowledge developed and shared by the fib (fib Bulletins, fib events, fib workshops, fib courses, etc.) is entirely the result of the volunteer work provided by the fib members.
The fib was formed in 1998 by the merger of the Euro-International Committee for Concrete (the CEB) and the International Federation for Pre-stressing (the FIP). These predecessor organizations existed independently since 1953 and 1952, respectively.
