SMASCO2019

Call for Papers

The call to submit your abstracts for the 1st International Conference on Smart Materials for Sustainable Construction (SMASCO 2019) IS NOW OPEN !!!

Notification of acceptance or rejection of the abstracts will be sent to the corresponding author by 31/08/2019.

When submitting your abstract, please specify the preference to present your work as a presentation or poster. The scientific and organizing committee will decide if the authors will need to prepare a power point presentation or poster.

Abstracts, presentations and posters must be prepared in English. No translation service will be provided.

The conference aim is to bring together a wide audience of scientists, engineers and professionals, interested in performing research on smart and sustainable materials for construction sector applications.

3 thematic blocks:

Sustainable construction materials will focus on materials based on ecological Portland cement containing various types and amounts of secondary cementitious materials, alkali activated cementitious binders, activated and processed mines, clays, etc.

Clean production technologies will cover novel production technologies, enabling production of building materials with very low or even neutral CO ₂ footprint, e.g. mechanical engineering activation processes, use of alternative energy resources for production of Portland cement, etc.

Smart construction materials session will address a variety of topics related to smart materials in the construction sector. Concepts including self-monitoring or self-healing are developed for building materials by mimicking phenomena occurring in, eg metals, polymers or organisms.
