AUSTRALIANS DISTINGUISHED WITH THE WIBE PRIZE IN THE PRESENCE OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE PORTUGUESE REPUBLIC, MARCELO REBELO DE SOUSA<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The \u201cNovel bridge system for durable, low-cost and rapid construction\u201d developed by the School of Civil Engineering of the University of Queensland in Australia was distinguished with the World Innovation in Bridge Engineering Award attributed by BERD and FEUP.
\nThe jury, composed of renowned engineers of the world\u2019s most important entities in the field of Bridge Engineering, also distinguished two other projects and attributed with Merit Awards corresponding to the 2nd and 3rd place: the project developed by the University of Pisa, Italy, \u201cThe TVT & Rainbow bridge: a new technique for long-spanned highly transparent footbridges\u201d and the Portuguese project, developed by Instituto Superior T\u00e9cnico, University of Minho and Alto Perfis company, \u201cS\u00e3o Silvestre footbridge: an innovative GFRP-SFRSCC hybrid structural system\u201d, respectively.
\nThe ceremony was held at the Pa\u00e7o dos Duques, in the city of Guimar\u00e3es, and was attended by the President of the Portuguese Republic, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa. This Australian group won the first edition of the Award for having excelled, at an innovation level, in the State of the Art of International Bridge Engineering.<\/p>\n
