Purpose and Background

Modular, rapidly erectable, and deployable structures offer unique strategies for the accelerated construction of buildings and bridges, with specific applications for rapid replacement, disaster relief, and military operations. This session will be the first of a series that aim to educate the audience on these types of structures, with a focus on discussing the need for these structures and opportunities for innovation. This session will specifically focus on steel bridges. This session will be in a panel format, where a moderator asks pre-determined questions of panelists and they respond. The audience will also have the opportunity to pose their own questions. The panelists include a designer, fabricator, erection engineer, and a faculty member conducting research in this area, to offer a broad perspective on the topic.
