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

Technical Seminar on Effective Use of S690 to S960 High Strength Steel in Construction
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

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.
