KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

Peter Swannell
BSc (Bristol), PhD (Birmingham), FIEAust, CPEng
Vice-Chancellor and President
University of Southern Queensland
Peter Swannell has been the Vice-Chancellor and President of the University of Southern Queensland since November 1996. He joined the University as Foundation Professor and Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Surveying in 1990, and was appointed Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Research and Higher Degrees) in February 1995.
Born near London, he studied Civil Engineering at the University of Bristol and worked as a steel design engineer with Dorman Long and Company in the North of England. From 1962 - 1970, he was a Lecturer in Civil Engineering at the University of Birmingham. In 1970, he joined the WS Atkins Group, UK, conducting in-house training programs for many of the Company's 1500 professional and support staff.
Professor Swannell came to Australia with his family in 1971, taking up a Senior Lectureship in Civil Engineering at the University of Queensland. He was appointed Reader in Civil Engineering at that University in 1981. His specialist interests were in non-linear structural behaviour, the dynamic behaviour of engineering structures and the stress analysis of welded structures. He has numerous publications in Journals and Conference Proceedings. His recent publications and addresses have been centered upon the role of the University of Southern Queensland as a world leader in on-campus/off-campus and Internet Based Education.
Professor Swannell is a Director of INDELTA Pty Ltd, a company wholly-owned by USQ, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Empire Theatres Pty Ltd and a former Deputy Chair of the Australian Research Council's Research Training and Careers Committee. His hobbies include After Dinner Speaking, walking and watching most sports.

Jawahar Gidwani
Mr Gidwani has 23 years experience in nonlinear analyses of complex structural systems. Nonlinear behaviour includes geometric nonlinearities and material nonlinearities for steel, concrete and soil. He developed and wrote the chapter on Nonlinear Inelastic Analyses Procedures and Guidelines for "The Design Criteria for the Seismic Retrofit of the Golden Gate Bridge". In addition to being the Project Lead Analyst for the Golden Gate Bridge Seismic Retrofit Project, his research and development was also instrumental in the revision of the API RP 2A Guidelines for seismic analysis and design. He has written several large scale programs including the one for 3-D nonlinear dynamic analyses of complex structural systems KARMA. This program is widely used in the oil industry. He published more than 70 papers and reports. He is also a member of two ASCE committees.

Managing Director, CEO
Holger Svensson has extensive experience in the design, construction engineering and supervision on site of cable-stayed and other long-span bridges all over the world.
He has designed several cable-stayed bridges in the USA; Pasco-Kennewick (concrete), East Huntington (concrete), Sunshine Skyway (composite alternate), Burlington Bridge (composite) and the Baytown Bridge (composite).
In Norway he was in charge of LAP's design of the concrete cable-stayed Helgeland Bridge.
In the UK he designed the cable-stayed bridge for one 2^nd Severn alternate and advised on the design of the concrete cable-stayed Leven River Bridge at Glenrothes in Scotland.
In Sweden he was Independent Checking Engineer for the Höga Kusten suspension bridge (main span 1210m), the Sunningesund and Ume Älv composite cable-stayed bridges.
For the Asian Development Bank he reviewed the design and construction of the record composite Yang Pu Bridge (main span 602m) in Shanghai, China.
In Australia he advised on the design of the cable-stayed concrete bridges at Glebe Island in Sydney and the My Thuan Bridge in Vietnam for AusAID.
Mr Svensson has published and lectured extensively on all aspects of cable-stayed and other long span bridges.
