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 will be done VIRTUALLY


IMPORTANT: We have been carefully monitoring the likely situation for our upcoming conference regarding the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and as a result, we have made the decision to hold the 5th International conference on Structural Engineering and Concrete Technology (ICSECT'20) virtually on October 18 – 20, 2020. As our first priority is to the health and safety of our participants, we believed that it was necessary to take the action.

Please note that we will publish the proceedings of the conference including all accepted papers and extension abstracts prior to the virtual conference. This is to make sure that we can meet the expectation of the authors regarding the publication of their papers in the conference proceedings.

All registered authors with accepted papers for oral or poster presentations should prepare a recorded video presentation or PowerPoint slides with voice and submit it to the conference administrator (info@icsect.com) at least 15 days prior to the conference.

  • Oral Presentations : 15 minutes of a recorded video presentation (mp4) or PowerPoint slides with recorded voice (ppt/pptx)
  • Poster Presentations: There are two options. First, authors can prepare a recorded short video presentation which can be either 3-5 minutes of a recorded video (mp4) or PowerPoint slides with recorded voice (ppt/pptx). Second option is to prepare a virtual poster (jpeg/pdf) which includes following: brief abstract, background, problem statements, results and discussions. In this case, recorded voice is not necessary.

All presentations will be presented by the session chairs which will be followed by a few minutes of Questions and Answers. We would appreciate if authors can make sure to be available for the Q&A session.

Apart from the virtual conference, the 6th International conference on Structural Engineering and Concrete Technology (ICSECT’21) will also be held physically in Lisbon, Portugal in June 21 – 23 , 2021. Therefore, our participants can choose there options for the attendance.


The Conference Proceedings will be published with an ISSN and ISBN, indexed in Scopus and Google Scholar, and archived permanently in Portico.
