INTRODUCTORY REMARKS
AND CONFERENCE AIMS
Engineering structures have to satisfy prescribed requirements.
Conceptual Design has to rationally define the basic procedures
to get sound structural arrangements not only safe also economical,
aesthetical and good quality.
To reach this goal the engineers can proceed by means of classical
engineering concepts using approximate methods of analysis in order
to quickly obtain reliable information for dimensioning the structural
organism.
Design is quite different from analysis, conceptual design states
the main guidelines for deriving reliable design procedures.
Quality is a broader concept with respect to safety. Conceptual
Design is related to quality and governs the fundamental character
of a structure, predetermining its quality and behaviour.
A correctly designed structure is the result of a conscious process
satisfying safety, economy, aesthetic and quality.
Structural engineers have to devote in maximum extent their energy
and care conceptual design, assuming it as the basic tool in order
to get sound and reliable structures.
The basic aim of the Conference is to gather designers, researchers,
contractors and teachers to discuss the basis of Conceptual Design,
including the education of young engineers during their studies
at the University.
