This project provides well-planned workshops on specific technical subjects as a forum for the effective exchange of innovative bridge technology information. OTA supports such workshops on a regional, tri-regional, and national basis.

Since 1989, workshops and conferences have been held to highlight new bridge engineering technology and new policies and procedures. They are open to bridge engineers and bridge program managers from State and Federal agencies and private sector companies:

• Tri-regional workshops on scour monitoring and bridge inspection
• Tri-regional workshops on bridge-related ISTEA requirements, including bridge management systems
• A Region 5 workshop on bridge aesthetics
• A Region 10 conference on seismic retrofit of bridges
• A national conference, co-sponsored by the Transportation Research Board, on the Load and Resistance Factor Design of bridges
• A national conference, co-sponsored with the Transportation Research Board, on bridge management systems
• A national conference, co-sponsored with the New Jersey DOT, on non-destructive testing of bridges
• Regional workshops on bridge management systems including PONTIS
• A regional workshop on removing lead-based paints
• An International Conference on Design and Construction of Deep Foundations

The 4th Bridge Engineering Conference, co-sponsored by the Transportation Research Board, was conducted August 27-30, 1995 in San Francisco. A National Seismic Conference on Bridges and Highways was held December 10-13, 1995 in San Diego, and a Structural Materials Technology, Nondestructive Testing Conference is scheduled for February 20-23, 1996 in San Diego. The International Symposium on High Performance Concrete, was co-sponsored by the Precast/Prestressed Concrete Institute, October 19-22, 1997, in New Orleans.
