The increasing number and age of in-service bridges worldwide, accelerating environmental and climate changes, extreme traffic and accidental loads, and natural disasters such as earthquakes and windstorms result in accelerated degradation of bridge structures and their functions. There is also a need to meet the ever-increasing social demands for transportation capacity and speed. Addressing the safety and sustainability issues such as long-term strength, reliability, durability, resilience, and service quality over the entire life cycle are essential considerations.
To promote the application and development of jointless bridges, theInternational Association of Jointless Bridges (IAJB)initiated and organized the International Symposium on Jointless & Sustainable Bridges (ISJSB). The first three International Symposiums (ISJSB’2016, ISJSB’2019 and ISJSB’2022) were successfully organized by Fuzhou University, Northeast Forestry University, and Fujian University of Technology in 2016, 2019 and 2022, respectively. The 4th International Symposium (ISJSB 2025) will be held in August 2025 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA. The organizing committee welcomes your contributions (technical papers and presentations).
Symposium Date and Location:August 21-22, 2025, Hyatt Regency Hotel, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA
