41st LISBON Global Congress on Civil, Materials, and Environmental Engineering: LCMEE-26

Call for Papers: LCMEE-26

All Abstracts, Reviews, short articles, Full articles, Posters are welcomed related with any of the following research fields:

1. Structural & Infrastructure Engineering (Civil/Materials)

This area focuses on the physical skeleton of society and the substances used to build it.

• Structural Analysis & Design: Load distribution, stress-strain relationships, and seismic resistance.

• Advanced Construction Materials:

  • Concrete Technology: High-performance concrete (HPC), self-healing concrete, and carbon-negative cement.

  • Steel & Alloys: Corrosion-resistant reinforcements and structural steel.

  • Composite Materials: Fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP) and bio-composites.

• Geotechnical Engineering: Soil mechanics, foundation design, and slope stability.

• Transportation Systems: Pavement design, traffic flow modeling, and smart infrastructure.

2. Environmental Protection & Resource Management (Environmental/Civil)

This focuses on how the built environment interacts with the natural world.

• Water & Wastewater Engineering:

  • Treatment Processes: Desalination, membrane filtration, and biological nutrient removal.

  • Hydraulics & Hydrology: Stormwater management, flood modeling, and dam engineering.

• Waste Management:

  • Solid Waste: Landfill engineering and waste-to-energy systems.

  • Circular Economy: Urban mining and recycling materials from demolished structures.

• Air Quality & Remediation: Industrial emission control and groundwater decontamination (in-situ vs. ex-situ).

3. Sustainability & Green Engineering (Interrelated)

The "Triple Point" where all three disciplines overlap to address climate change and efficiency.

• Sustainable Building Design:

  • Life Cycle Assessment (LCA): Quantifying the environmental impact of a building from extraction to demolition.

  • Energy Efficiency: Passive heating/cooling and "Green" building certifications (LEED, BREEAM).

• Resilient Infrastructure: Designing for climate adaptation, extreme weather events, and sea-level rise.

• Green Materials: Using industrial by-products (fly ash, slag) and recycled aggregates in new construction.

4. Mechanics & Computational Science (Independent/Interrelated)

The theoretical tools used across all three disciplines.

• Fluid Mechanics: Crucial for pipe flow (Civil), pollutant transport (Environmental), and material casting (Materials).

• Solid Mechanics: Determining how materials deform under environmental or structural loads.

• Computational Modeling:

  • Finite Element Analysis (FEA): Simulating stress in structures or heat transfer in materials.

  • Building Information Modeling (BIM): Integrating 3D design with environmental data.
