The Continental Automated Buildings Association (CABA) is an international

not-for-profit industry association dedicated to the advancement of

intelligent home and intelligent building technologies. The organization is

supported by an international membership of nearly 400 companies

involved in the design, manufacture, installation and retailing of products

relating to home automation and building automation. Public organizations,

including utilities and government are also members. CABA's mandate

includes providing its members with networking and market research

opportunities. CABA also encourages the development of industry standards

and protocols, and leads cross-industry initiatives.

International Federation for High-rise Structure (IFHS) is a non profit,

non Governmental Association established in 1994. IFHS belongs to all

its active individual members who are Architects, Design Engineers,

Contractors, Researchers, Educationalists, Clients, Financiers, banking

Institutions and University Faculties. The major activities of are to

generate new knowledge through research and assemble all other

available information on high-rise structure and develop means to

disseminate them to all concerned; and to sponsor and organize

international conferences and workshops on High-rise structures and

their problems at proper places and times to help generate interest and

present innovative ideas and methods.

Japan Prestressed Concrete Engineering Association (JPCEA) was

established in 1958 with support from Japan Society of Civil Engineers,

Architectural Institute of Japan, and Japanese Society of Irrigation

Drainage and Reclamation Engineering. On 1st April, 2012, the title was

updated as Japan Prestressed Concrete Institution (JPCI) in accordance to

the new Japanese law for corporate juridical person. JPCI aims to spread

and promote prestressed concrete technology, improve the capability of

members and contribute to the development and safety of the society.

CI-Premier Pte Ltd was established in Singapore in 1975, with the

inaugural "Our World in Concrete" Conference where world renown Prof

T Y Lin was the keynote speaker. The company is committed towards the

development of civil engineering education and technology, and had

organised more than 200 conferences, seminars and workshops in 20

cities worldwide, including Singapore, Beijing, Fuzhou, Kuala Lumpur,

Lisbon, Melbourne, Milan, Nottingham (UK), Nicosia, Venice and Yantai.

All papers presented at our conferences are published in proceedings

INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION

Engineering projects around the globe are

getting more and more ambitious as major

cities jostle to be known for signature

landmark buildings and overcoming

impossible engineering feats. Today,

structures compete to dwarf anything that

has come before. Records are broken,

design and technical boundaries are

challenged; and new concepts on

liveability and sustainability have also

emerged in the race for space. Plans

beyond imagination are on the drawing

board for projects so huge – not only in

scale but in their implications for society.

Some examples include 'Tunnelling under

the Alps', 'Bridging the Bering Strait',

'Widening the Panama Canal', ‘Hong Kong-

Zhuhai-Macao Bridge’, the 'Burj Khalifa’ and

the “Shanghai Tower”. Soon, we will be

constructing beyond heights of 1000m,

very long span bridges, very deep

underground tunnels under the sea and

structures in previously inhabitable spaces.

We welcome research and case studies on

these and many more exciting Extreme

Engineering projects. We welcome researchers,

architects, planners, builders,

constructors, (consulting and

structural) engineers, developers,

contractors, safety and security

experts, financiers, academia,

suppliers and all professionals

involved in the field of extreme

engineering to meet in

Singapore at the International

Conference on 26-28 February

2019. Singapore is where the

world meets and where passion

is made possible.
