From June 2 to 4, the second international on Integral and Jointless Bridges (IAJB) was successfully held in multi-purpose hall andconference centerof the Civil Engineering College, Fuzhou University.

At 10:00 am on the 2thJune, 2014,ProfessorBruno Briseghellaaddressed the welcome speech before the workshop. Hewelcomed professors and participants attending the workshop and affirmed the significance of the workshop. The meeting started at 10:10. Professor Baochun Chen, dean of College ofCivil Engineering, Fuzhou University, surveyed the current status of the research and applications of jointless bridges of Fuzhou University. Professor Tabatabai Habibollah made a presentation on calculation of secondary continuity forces at supports. The participantshad a short break after a simple lunch. It concluded the workshop in the morning. At 14: 00-18: 00, Prof. Upul Attanayake made a presentation on maintaining semi-integral skew bridge alignment during thermal expansion/contraction.
