79th RILEM Annual Week & ICONS 2025

August 24, 2025 to August 29, 2025

Sponsor(s): RILEM

Description:
Meeting: The 79th RILEM Week will be held in conjunction with the International Conference on Advances in Engineering and Technology for Sustainable Development (ICONS 2025) in Hanoi, Vietnam, from August 24-29, 2025.
The conference requires physical attendance (virtual is not applied).

Solicited: The conference aims to present and discuss the recent advances in materials and structures research to meet the great challenges of the twenty-first century and beyond to enable sustainable, safe, and durable construction (new and existing buildings and strategic infrastructures); promote the circular construction and economy; improve the energy efficiency of construction; and favor the quality and comfort of buildings (indoor air quality and comfort). All these topics will be considered from the material’s perspective, as well as from the structure’s perspective. A special focus will be put on worldwide practices and rationale to meet these goals.
The conference will cover all the topics in the scope of ICONS 2025 scientific activities and will include the following:
For sustainable performance of eco-materials and structures: cementitious materials—development and characterization of binders, early age, rheology and processing, and durability and long-term performance; eco-friendly and sustainable building materials—low-carbon dioxide (CO2), low-energy, low-resources processes, and recycling; innovative building materials—three-dimensional (3-D)-printed concrete, geopolymer, self-healing, and self-sensing; bituminous materials—properties, sustainability, and resilience; deterioration in tropical and marine conditions, maintenance, and repair; performance of structures under extreme conditions and climate changes; repair, retrofitting, and restoration; and destructive and nondestructive inspection and monitoring.
For digitalization of eco-materials and structures: data analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) approaches, modeling of materials and structures, and AI and big data.
For sound resource management of eco-materials and structures: building information modeling (BIM), applied to circular construction management; circular economy, life
cycle assessment of construction materials, systems, and structures; and building codes and standards for sustainable construction.
