| Abstract: |
Structures are key to the development of countries and society in general. The integrity and reliability of structural systems carry out and guarantee the base for the projection of communities and nations, and their economic and social growth. Developing countries today are developing their engineering forces and infrastructure leaders, both designers and builders, to put their skills in service to develop the foundations for their growth. Young structural engineers from any country can make a difference in this scenario through the application of their fresh knowledge of their profession in specific projects that need their help and collaboration today. |
