NHICE-03: Call for Abstracts
We are pleased and excited to announce that the ‘3rd International Conference on New Horizons in Green Civil Engineering (NHICE-03)’ will be a hybrid event to support synchronous remote and in-person participation at the University of Victoria, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada; Monday, April 25th – Wednesday, April 27th, 2022.
Submission Guidelines
Please submit abstract/s on or before 30 October 2021. Do not upload a full paper for the abstract submission. If your abstract is accepted, you will be prompted to upload your paper at a later date.
Topics
NHICE-03 will focus on new challenges, ideas, solutions and applications in sustainable and resilient Civil Engineering. While submissions in all areas of Civil Engineering are welcome, priority will be given to issues related to:
- Green design, construction materials, technologies and buildings
- Carbon footprint reduction and management in built environment
- Enhanced used of wood in building construction
- Indigenous housing challenges/solutions and technologies
- Impacts of climate change and resiliency of infrastructure and buildings
- Recent advances in smart buildings, intelligent structures, sustainable cities, industrial ecology, environmental engineering, ground engineering and water resources
- Latest developments and challenges in codes, policies, regulations, practices and test methods
- Use of advanced tools and technologies (e.g. artificial intelligence, machine learning, systems modelling, digital twins, 3-D printing, remote sensing, UAV etc.) for sustainable construction and resilient infrastructure management
- Post-pandemic built-environments
- Nature-based solutions and regenerative design: Application for buildings
- Nature-based solutions and regenerative design: Regional applications
- Inclusive people-oriented design (e.g. accessibility) and indoor environmental quality
- Community oriented design solutions
- Application of design thinking in Civil Engineering
The core theme of the conference is Civil Engineering, but multidisciplinary research activities that demonstrate the potential to solve infrastructure and building challenges are welcome.
Young engineers as well as established professionals, researchers, academics, and policymakers are the target participants and audiences.
