IASS Technical Activities through Working Groups
The Association sponsors the technical activities of following Working Groups and publishes thier state-of-the-art reports and their recommendations on design and construction. The Working Group efforts are overseen by the Technical Activities Committee, which in turn reports annually to the IASS Executive Council and the Association Membership. The current chair of the Technical Activities Committee is Professor René Motro (France). [More details about the membership and activities of the Working Groups are viewable by members of the IASS who are logged in to this site].
