The Eighth World Congress On Joints, Bearings, and Seismic Systems for Concrete Structures

September 25-29, 2016Atlanta, Georgia, USA

IntroductionThe 1st World Congress on Joints and Bearings was held in Niagara Falls back in the fall of 1981. Since that very successful inaugural event, congresses have been held every 5 years in succession in San Antonio in 1986, Toronto in 1991, Sacramento in 1996, Rome in 2001, Halifax in 2006, and Las Vegas in 2011.

This year’s Congress will serve as a forum to bring together manufacturers, suppliers, and installers of joints, bearings and seismic systems along with owners, consulting engineers, contractors, and researchers in this ever evolving field. The present state-of-the-art and knowledge will be showcased with a focus on research past, present and future.

The technical program during the Congress will include keynote and invited speakers, presentation of solicited papers and manufacturers exhibits featuring the latest technology in the industry. The technical program along with the technical luncheon and awards banquet promise to be extremely informative, as well as entertaining for those in attendance.

John R. Hillman, PE, SE is Founder and President of HCB, Inc. as well as the Bridge Practice Leader for Parsons Transportation Group. He received his BSCE degree from University of Tennessee in 1986 and an MSCE from Virginia Tech in 1990.

He has been inspecting, constructing, and designing unique bridges for over 29 years. Some of the more notable assignments during this time included managing the construction of a 1,263 ft., incrementally launched bridge in Puerto Rico in the early 90’s and more recently his role as Conceptual Designer and Engineer of Record for the award winning 35th Street Pedestrian Bridge in Chicago.

He also holds four US patents and two-dozen international patents for the unique bridge technology known as the Hybrid-Composite Beam (HCB®). His work on the development of the HCB has brought worldwide recognition including; Top 10 Inventionsof 2008 – Popular Science Magazine, the Construction Innovation Forum’s 2010 NOVA Award, and the 2013 Charles Pankow Award from ASCE.

In 2010 Mr. Hillman was honored with the 2010 Engineering News Record – Award of Excellence and in 2013 he was recognized by President Obama as the “White House Champion of Change for Transportation.” When not designing bridges, John can usually be found listening to a Mahler symphony or attending a yoga class.
