ENGINEERING MATERIALS SPECIALTY
The conference will focus on the advances in materials that extend the service life of the infrastructure, reduce maintenance and ensure resiliency, safety, and sustainability. It will also focus on the advances in engineering mechanics that will help understand the behaviour of materials and structural components under different loading and environmental conditions. The conference will explore developments in the recycling and reuse of waste materials; properties and performance of alternative construction materials; application of nanotechnology in materials; improvements in the design, manufacturing, placement and testing of conventional materials and structures; and performance of structures under extreme loads.
