Call For Papers - CFP

This section focuses on the principles, analysis, and execution of safe and efficient structures.

Individual Topics:

Structural Analysis and Mechanics: Advanced Finite Element Analysis (FEA), computational methods, and structural optimization.

Earthquake and Seismic Engineering: Base isolation systems, seismic retrofitting techniques (e.g., FRP), structural control devices (dampers), and fragility analysis.

Wind Engineering: Aerodynamic analysis of tall buildings and long-span bridges, and wind load modeling.

Special Structures: Design and construction of bridges (stress ribbon, integral), dams, tunnels, and high-rise/mega-tall buildings.

Forensic Engineering: Failure analysis of materials and structures, and structural integrity assessment.

Structural Health Monitoring (SHM): Sensor integration (e.g., IoT), data analytics, and real-time monitoring for predictive maintenance.

Interrelated Topics:

Performance-Based Design (Design & Structural): Designing structures to meet specific, quantifiable performance objectives (e.g., remaining operational after a major seismic event) rather than prescriptive code requirements.

Disaster Resilience and Risk Management (Structural & Civil): Developing resilient infrastructure that can withstand and quickly recover from extreme events (floods, hurricanes, earthquakes) and assessing associated risks.

Nonlinear Behavior of Structures (Structural & Materials): Studying the response of structural elements under extreme loading where material behavior is non-linear (e.g., beyond the elastic limit).

II. Construction Materials and Technology

This area explores the composition, properties, performance, and application of materials, with a strong emphasis on sustainability.

Individual Topics:

Sustainable and Green Materials: Research on Geopolymer Concrete (low-carbon cement alternatives), recycled aggregates, timber construction (e.g., Cross-Laminated Timber - CLT), and bio-based materials (hemp, bamboo).

Advanced Concrete Technology: Development of High-Performance Concrete (HPC), Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC), Self-Healing Concrete (using bacteria or capsules), and Reactive Powder Concrete (RPC).

Nanotechnology in Civil Engineering: Incorporating nanomaterials (nanosilica, carbon nanotubes) to enhance mechanical properties and durability.

Innovative Composites: Fiber-Reinforced Polymers (FRP), fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC), and hybrid composite materials for lightweight and high-strength applications.

Asphalt and Pavement Materials: Performance of asphalt mixtures, recycling, and sustainable pavement design.

Interrelated Topics:

Life-Cycle Assessment (Materials & Design/Civil): Comprehensive evaluation of the environmental impact (carbon footprint, energy consumption) of materials and structures from cradle-to-grave.

Recycling and Circularity (Materials & Construction): Techniques for upcycling and reusing construction and demolition (C&D) waste to minimize landfill use.

Smart Materials (Materials & Structural): Materials that sense, react, and adapt to their environment (e.g., temperature-responsive, self-healing, or shape memory alloys for structural applications).
