ACMBS-IX Technical Program
The conference will provide a great opportunity to bring together academics, researchers, and practitioners from around the world in the fields of structural and bridge engineering utilizing ACM and fibre-reinforced polymers (FRPs) in all aspects of research, field applications, design, construction and rehabilitation of bridges and other structures.
Call for Papers
Authors are invited to submit 300-word abstracts related to the topics listed above not later than December 4, 2024. Please indicate the relevant conference topic on the abstract. All papers should be original, not published elsewhere. Preliminary selection of papers will be based on review of the abstracts. Final acceptance will be based on review of the full papers. Both the abstracts and the full papers will be reviewed by an International Scientific Committee. All accepted papers will be published in the proceedings which will be available at the conference.
ACMBS-IX will deal with all aspects of research, applications and monitoring of advanced composite materials and fibre reinforced polymers in the design, construction and rehabilitation of bridges and other structures. Topics of the conference will include but are not limited to:
-
Material behaviour including bond, durability, fatigue and long-term performance
-
Fabrication, processing and testing methods
-
Analysis and design
-
Applications in structural concrete with or without prestressing
-
Applications in wood, masonry and steel structures
-
Strengthening and rehabilitation of structures
-
Seismic performance and retrofit
-
Structural health monitoring and intelligent sensing
-
Fire resistance
-
Structural shapes and fully composite systems
-
Anchorage systems and connections
-
Innovative structural systems
-
Full-scale testing
-
Field applications and case studies
-
Codes and standards
-
Sustainability and life-cycle cost
Conference Topics
Internationally recognized experts in the fields of FRP and ACM and their applications in bridges and structures will deliver keynote lectures on key topics of the conference including innovative design, durability, strengthening and rehabilitation, structural health monitoring, and future directions.
