The 13th PSSC was decided to be held in China in 2022 through the 12th meeting ofPCSSA (Pacific Council of Structural Steel Association) in Japan in 2019. Due to theCOVID-19 pandemic, the conference is postponed to 2023.
The Pacific Structural Steel Conference has become the most influential global eventof steel construction industry. It brings together experts from structural steel research,
design, education, fabrication/manufacture, construction, as well as equipment andmaterial suppliers from all around the Pacific Rim and beyond to promote cooperationand communication in the field of steel construction among members of PCSSA andother countries in the world.
As an academic and technical communication platform, PSSC has received theaffirmation and support from the Asia-Pacific countries and global peers.
In October 2023, Chengdu, China is embracing the grand gathering. According to therequirements of pandemic prevention and control, the Pacific Structural Steel
Conference will be held in an appropriate mode. China Steel Construction Society islooking forward to seeing you and sharing benefits with all the participants from allover the world.
