Technical Seminar on Effective Use of S690 to S960 High Strength Steel in Construction - Two Large Scale Footbridges using Chinese High Quality S960 Steel

Date:    22 May 2026 (Friday)

Time:    9:00 am to 5:00 pm (Registration begins at 8:40 am)

Venue: Room Z209, Block Z, PolyU

This Technical Seminar is part of the “Professional Development Programme for Design and Construction Engineers” jointly organized by the Hong Kong Constructional Metal Structures Association and the Chinese National Engineering Research Centre for Steel Construction (Hong Kong Branch) of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, and supported by Civil Engineering and Development Development of the Government of HKSAR, the Civil Division of the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers, the Hong Kong Instittue of Architects, and the Hong Kong Instittue of Highways and Transportation, and sponsored by Chun Wo.

Highlights:

Owing to a strong support from the Government in recent years, S690 to S960 high strength steel are readily adopted in both public and private construction projects in Hong Kong as effective construction solutions for infrastructure development. Together with high performance concrete, their use in high-rise buildings, long span bridges and heavily loaded structures are considered to be highly advantageous because of their large strength-to-self-weight ratios as well as large flexural rigidities against instability and serviceability issues.

This Technical Seminar is organized to promote research and technology transfer on modern construction technology, in particular, effective use of high quality Chinese steel in construction, to the construction industry. It is an industrial platform to present research findings and share practical experiences on the design and construction of two large-scale footbridge systems, namely, Footbridges F4 and F6, in Fanling North New Development Area. Presentations on various stages of the construction projects will be made by key members of the project team.
