CIDECT - International Committee for the Development and Study of Tubular Construction - is an association of tubular steel profiles manufacturers that has been funding research projects in tubular construction since the 50s trying to bring the knowledge generated in these projects to the designers and calculators of structures around all the world.

Likewise, much of the information contained in their reports and design guides has been the basis for the design codes of tubular structures internationally - in Europe, for the current Eurocode 3.

The association gathers each year its Members - tubular profiles manufacturers - and their Experts - recognized academics - in a multi-day meeting where they share experiences, ideas, latest results of their projects, etc.

This time, Grupo CONDESA, as a CIDECT Member, has organized the 2019 meeting in Barcelona with great organization, participation and contents success.
