5th International conference on Structural Engineering and Concrete Technology (ICSECT'20)
October 18, 2020 - October 20, 2020 | Lisbon, Portugal
Due to COVID'19 pandemic it held VIRTUALLY
The 5th International conference on Structural Engineering and Concrete Technology (ICSECT'20) held Virtually on October 18-20, 2020. ICSECT'20 has been completed with great success and this would not have been possible without the dedication and help of the organizers, the chairs and keynote speakers, scientific committee members, and all participants. Many thanks for their continuous support.

Symposium on Forensic Engineering
The objective of the symposium is to provide an overview of the forensic (civil) engineering science, to review the latest investigation techniques adopted in this sector, and to discuss the non-engineering aspects of structural and geotechnical failures. A number of internationally renowned speakers representing the spectrum of disciplines typically involved in the forensic engineering business will be sharing their knowledge with the symposium attendees. The speakers will have a chance to discuss some of the notable case studies they had a chance to investigate. In addition to practicing engineers and university professors, lawyers and insurance specialists will share with the audience the legal and financial aspects of engineering failures. The symposium will include seven 30-minutes presentations, followed by a moderated question and answer period with the panel.
