Infrastructure, Resiliency and Sustainability (IRS)
This theme focuses on the latest advancements in the analysis, design, and construction of civil infrastructure including buildings, bridges, roadways, industrial facilities and power plants. These advancements include: (i) sustainable materials and non-destructive evaluation, (ii) digital twinning for planning and construction, and (iii) design for natural hazards and resilience.
